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!
