Ingleborough, Yorkshire OAC

The pictures from the OAC trip to the Ingleborough area in Yorkshire (January 2004). It was a little bit wet, but at least there was a nice warm pub at the end of the walk back in Ingleton. Our group of four went up Whernside, which is a hill visible from Ingleborough (weather permitting). Most people went up Ingleborough. There was a little drama on the top, because some clothes lending had to be done to somebody who wasn't quite properly equipped for the conditions and was cold and wet. Lucky we're prepared for these things. So no disaster! Even the most hardy, waterproofed walkers were very happy to get back to the pub in Ingleton.

This is Beezle falls. Normally there isn't quite this much water flowing down the river..
