Ingleborough

Distance: 10.3 miles

Today I walked up the last of the 3 peaks in North Yorkshire, I had previously walked Whernside and Pen-y-ghent last year. I want to get a few harder walks in before Ben Nevis later this month but I actually found this very easy.

None of the ascent was too hard, going up the last part of little Ingleborough was probably the hardest but still not too bad. Although my mother was shattered.

We passed Gaping Gill on the way up Ingleborough, Gaping Gill is probably the most famous cave in Britain because it has the deepest surface shaft. At certain times of the year the general public can be lowered down and given a tour but unfortunately not today :-(

After today I have decided I would like to walk the 3 peaks of North Yorkshire in 1 day. I am not stupid enough (or maybe I am) to go and try and do it straight away as its 25 miles. I am thinking about doing it sometime in September or late August by then I will of done several hard walks inclusing Ben Nevis and should be well into my training for the Great North Run.

Below are a few pictures from today:
