We left the car at Clapham near to the main car park

The footbridge over Clapham Beck

The outfall from the artificial lake

The lake...from here it is a pleasant walk up past Ingleborough Cave to Trow Gill

The path through Clapdale Wood

Higher along the path Ingleborough Cave comes into view

The entrance to Ingleborough Cave, well worth taking a tour if you have time.

Approaching Trow Gill

Trow Gill

An old "entry point" into the cave system now blocked up

Ingleborough comes into view for the first time with the summit in cloud

A little further along the path crosses the walk at this double stile

The path up Little Ingleborough can be seen plainly

But first a small diversion to Gaping Gill

The beck is diverted for the Winch meets

On the path up Little Ingleborough looking back down

Pen-y-ghent from Little Ingleborough. I am told it means Mountain of the Wind but I could have been sold a dummy!

The path to Ingleborough from Little Ingleborough. It was at this point that the cloud came down again resticting summit views

A brief opening allowed this view towards Pen-y-ghent

The summit cross-shelter on Ingleborough

Edith on the summit

Dave on the summit

From the summit we took the 3 Peaks route towards Horton in Ribblesdale which runs along the flank of Simon Fell

As we descended the cloud lifted from the summit for a short period

Pen-y-ghent from our path down with I believe Fountains Fell to the right in the distance

The old shooting hut .......I seem to recall it having a roof the last time I passed by here

This is where we left the 3 Peaks route to turn right to Clapham (3.75 miles) according to the signpost. The 3 Peaks path carries straight on to Horton via Sulber Nick which can just be seen. It's the V near to the right.

On the bridleway back to Clapham. The paths round here make for such easy walking.

Moughton Scars

THe path goes over Long Scar then starts to drop into Clapdale. The trees in mid picture are to the left of Trow Gill.

Still on the bridleway as it enters the walled "Long Lane".....believe me it seems to go on forever

From Long Lane looking across to Trow Gill

A little further down people are waiting for the next tour of Ingleborough Cave

Meanwhile the lane continues

Nearing Clapham now, just past this point the track goes through two tunnels

before entering Clapham near the Church

Finally....back to the car.
