109. Pen-y-Ghent, 28th August, 2016

With Martin, Tommy and Joe. Two not so fit not so young men and two extremely young men, we met up, rather late, at the Pen-y-ghent café and climbed said hill. You head for the bridge by the church and up the road to Brackenbottom farm where a footpath leads off left and climb ds steadily towards the steep sky-line ridge. This is the business end of the walk but is pretty short – you’ve done most of the climbing before it starts, which is does just after you join the Pennine Way and turn left. It’s steep from here with a couple of short “scrambly bits” that are easy enough but add a little interest for the extremely young. Then we stuck with the Pennine Way all the way back north then west then southwest past the gaping hole of Hull Pot so back to Horton. It was late – eightish - when we got there but the care park was still full with a number of people trying the epic Three Peaks Challenge. Some of them staggered back as I was changing out of my boots, almost comically knackered. Our day had been much shorter but a delightful stroll up a hill that makes a fine introduction to the strolling up of hills for the extremely young.
