Pen-y-Ghent walk
11th December 2012
A fantastic, crystal-clear day with a sharp frost.
Minus 1 in the valley and minus 4 on the summit, although in the sunshine it was quite warm. Certainly the best day of 2012 for walking, and hardly anyone about.
I was researching and walking the new Three Peaks route across Whitber Hill (thus avoiding the quagmire of Black Dubb Moss) for Country Walking magazine. This new route starts at the top of Horton Scar Lane and heads NW across Whitber Hill, Sell Gill Beck and Sell Gill Hill to join the Pennine Way near Jackdaw Hole. The route is a delight to walk, and easy to follow as it is laid with stone chippings all the way.
A walk across the fells of the Yorkshire Dales on a day like today really lifts your spirits.
Anyway, here's my route:
Horton - Brackenbottom - Pen-y-ghent south ridge - Pen-y-ghent summit - Pennine Way to Horton Scar Lane - new path across Whitber Hill - Pennine Way south along Harber Scar Lane back into Horton.

Do not follow SAT NAV!
Just ran a 3-day NNAS (Silver award) navigation and hill skills course for Natural England at Grasmere and saw this sign in the village!
Couldn't agree more... let your brain become the Sat Nav and get skills that will last a lifetime on one of our navigation courses. Don't rely on electronic gadgets to get you across the mountains!
We helped two groups of people who were out without map, compass or torches and didn't know where they were or had to change their route because of swollen streams. One group were up on Blea Rigg at gone 4pm, with only 20 minutes of light left. This frequently happens in the Lake District... and is totally avoidable.

Wild Camping mountain expedition - Lake District
Mountain Expedition
Upper Eskdale & Scafell, Lake District
11th & 12th August 2012
A warm, bright and sunny weekend, except for thick mist and 40mph winds on the top of Scafell! We met at the Woolpack Inn at Boot in Eskdale, from where we walked up into Upper Eskdale via Brotherilkeld to Lingcove Bridge from where we headed up into Green Hole below Bow Fell. We then crossed over High Gait Crags and, due to dry streams, dropped down to Upper Eskdale above Great Moss. We then decided to tackle Scafell via Cam Spout and Foxes Tarn, only to have almost zero visibility on the summit, although we soon dropped down below the cloud en route to Slight Side where we had lunch. We then followed the Terrace Path back to Boot.

Wild Camping mountain expedition - Lake District
Mountain Expedition
Eskdale & Scafell, Lake District
4th & 5th August 2012
Wild Camping website
We met Saturday morning for a pre-expedition coffee at the brilliant Woolpack Inn at Boot in Eskdale, from where we walked up into Upper Eskdale and the summit of Scafell. The weather was warm and sunny for most of Saturday, but Sunday was different with low cloud and a dramatic thunderstorm.
Our route....
Boot, Whahouse Bridge, Taw House, Great Moss, Cam Spout, Foxes Gully, Foxes Tarn and Scafell. As we began our descent towards Slight Side it then went dark, and hail stones soon began to fall. We descended quickly to Slight Side where we sheltered in a gully whilst lightning flashed across the massif, with thunder booming - an unexpected and unforecast thunderstorm! It was exciting but quite daunting to be in the midst of a storm like this, but very memorable. The storm soon cleared and we had some brief sunny spells on the long descent towards Quagrigg Moss before more rain came in. We then followed a narrow, meandering and very wet path to Stony Tarn and Eel Tarn before descending back to the Woolpack for food and beer.

Wild Camping expedition - Carneddau, Snowdonia
Mountain Expedition
Carneddau, Snowdonia
7th & 8th July 2012
We stayed over at Betws-y-Coed on Friday evening, then set off to Ogwen Cottage on Saturday morning from where we headed up onto the Carneddau mountains. Despite much of Britain having a very wet weekend, we only had a few spots of rain, with frequent sunny spells.
Our route....
Ogwen Cottage, Llyn Ogwen, Cwm Lloer, Pen yr Ole Wen eastern ridge (scrambling), Pen yr Ole Wen, Carnedd Dafydd, Cefn Ysgolion Duon then down the ridge above Craig Llugwy to Cwm Llugwy. We then headed up onto Carnedd Llewelyn's SE ridge (Penywaun wen), then down the scrambly ridge onto the narrow col of Bwlch Eryl Farchog before heading down to Ffynnon Llgwy and back into the Ogwen valley. Finished with a stop at Capel Curig for lunch at the Bryn Tyrch Inn on our way back to Betws-y-Coed.
