Pen-y-Ghent. 694m.

Tuesday 12th October 2010. After a really cold night drove up to Dale Head to do Pen-y-Ghent. Really easy walk up a wide track collecting another geocache on the way. Quite a few people out walking, taking advantage of the brilliant weather. One chap was walking up bare foot? As it steepens the path becomes rocky with some scrambling but the summit is soon reached. This hill is much easier to climb than the previous two. Again loads of people on the summit and good views including a temperature inversion placing us in sunlight above the mist filled dales. Yet another geocache located then back down for lunch. I just cannot imagine what it must be like to be as fit as those who run in the Three Peaks Race across these mountains in about 10 hours. I take my hat off to them.
