The September walk was a hike up Pen-y-ghent, one of
Yorkshire’s ‘three peaks.’ 
There was quite a few this time around: Steve, Mark,
my old pal Andrew, Kip and Jake (the dog) and Roco (the dog), along with a
friend of Steve’s, James, and his friends (and dogs) who were walking the hill
for arthritis charity.
The forecast had been drizzle, but we had a fine day
with only the occasional brushing of rain. We started from Horton in Ribblesdale,
parking up on the main road.
By the church, we started up a lane that soon
became a path, that turned off for the hillside. Pen-y-ghent was in view most
of the way, sitting grand. There was a brief, slight scramble to the summit
with views all around.
We headed back along the obvious path, stopping off at
Hull Pot the largest natural hole in England, careful not to fall in. Worth a
trip. Then it was back to the main path, into Horton and for a pint…
