After an enjoyable and eventful weekend in the Yorkshire Dales, here is a quick look back to our trip to Ingleton, Yorkshire.

People's highlights of the weekend include:

  • A scenic short walk from Chapel-le-Dale to Ribblehead station, accompanied by a fell runner for part of the way
  • Trish scampering up Ingleborough "like a whippet in her wellies" and the clear, beautiful views
  • The short, steep, snowy and icy stretch near the top of Ingleborough, eliciting such comments as
    • "Saving everyone's life as I pulled them up!" (Judith)
    • "At least if I fall here, I won't die, just get seriously injured!" (Helen-Jayne)
    • "We survived the wall of death! (Helen-Jayne)
  • A wander around the pretty village of Settle
  • Marian and Alison having the surreal experience of sitting on the M1 listening to birdsong
  • The Great Cheese Feast - my first experience of the Yorkshire tradition of eating cheese and fruitcake - together
  • The Dales Countryside Museum and the Wensleydale Creamery
