30 12 2008 Pen-y-ghent (2277 ft) from Horton in Ribblesdale with Joe.
|
It was dull and cloudy as we drove up to Horton in Ribblesdale and cold as we set off along the road towards the church. The sun came out almost immediately, however, and we had good weather and blue sky for almost all of walk. Frost, ice and a some snow covered the top of Pen-y-ghent but there was almost no wind at all at the crowded summit and it felt comfortably mild as we stopped for refreshments. It was a thoroughly enjoyable walk in excellent conditions. |
