Miserable weather, snow and ice and on the dark peaks, mud. And lots of it! But we made it. February 7, 2010. Not much photos taken, there was nothing remarkable to take. Will probably redo this walk in the summer when I can actually see some views.

After four weeks of no outdoor adventure, I’ve been dying to get out and get my hands on some wilderness. Well, as wild as it can get here in the UK ;) So I nagged and nagged and finally, I got to go climb Pen-Y-Ghent!
Pen-y-ghent is a mountain in the Yorkshire Dales. It is one of the Yorkshire Three Peaks, the other two being Ingleborough and Whernside. – Wiki


At the base of Pen-Y-Ghent, now heading onwards and upwards!

The beautiful views along the climb. The weather was changing every time.

Lovely little rock formation.

Look how far I climbed! And yep, coping so much better with heights these days.

At the summit. Hurrah! What a rush! It’s such a great feeling. I’ve now done two of the Yorkshire three peaks. Just Whernside left, but I hear that is a bit of a boring walk. Might leave it for my outdoor days when I’m not in the mood for a climbing challenge. Hrm maybe Peak district or the lakes next?

The view of Pen-Y-Ghent after our descent and our walk to the pub.

We didn’t end up in a cafe this time. But a pub is good enough. I was dying for some crisps!

Some of the graffiti on this stone is over a hundred yeard old!


Old stone carvings.

I apologise for not posting as much. I’ve been busy enjoying my new hobby too much!


On the climb up to the beacon, saw this little patch of cute flora.


Finally reached the cairn on Beamsley Beacon.



During some parts of the walk we were surrounded by gorgeous british bluebells, to reach our goal:
