Another windy night. Drove down to Chaple-le-Dale and parked up near the Hill Inn. Made our way out across the moors towards Ingleborough. Much of the route passed over man made paths and bridges over the boggy parts of what was pretty level going. At the foot of the hill it became very steep with steps that always seem to have been made for a seven footer. Took many rests on the way up and admired the view across the dale to Whernside, now in brilliant sunshine. Arrived at the summit and found about a dozen walkers sheltering behind the stone windbreak. Great views all around, had lunch and picked up another couple of geocaches. On the way down I veered off to the right to pick up a geocache hidden in the central area of a large exspanse of limestone pavement. This was the largest area of pavement I had ever come across. From there it was back onto the track across the fields to the transport. A good day out.
