Yesterday I did my first trip up Ingleborough. Having visited High Bentham a few times, seeing the peak so close and enticing made it a very alluring goal. I parked in the car park by the library in Ingleton, and bought a map and a scarf and some lunch, and made my way up on the bridleway that starts just outside the village on the road to Hawes.

The Snow was not new, and was quite grubby in places |

Is it better to take a Selfie with a hat..... |
