A short storm last night cleared the haze of the last few days: sunny skies and the clear air gave fabulous panoramic views.
The walk got off to a great start at Smearsett Scar, just a little way out of Stainforth.
But things really got going after a tea shop in Faizor at 10:00, when the limestone scars and Pen-y-Ghent came into view.
Then the business of the ascent of Ingleborough. Sampling tasty blackberries along the sides of the narrow paths between walls before breaking out into the moor side
Limestone pavement and cliffs of limestone ‘scars’ were much in prominence today. From the peak of Ingleborough – views across Morecambe bay, the Lake District mountains, Howgill Fells, Kirkby Lonsdale, Twistelton Scars, Whernside, Ribblehead viaduct, Pen-y-Ghent, peaks above Malham, Pendle Hill. Just failed to pick out the Isle of Man
