| Day trip on the train from Leeds to Horton, then along the Pennine Journey/Way onto the PYG/Plover ridge. After Plover Hill tracked back and up Pen y Ghent. Cloud lifted so had some views. Descended down the nose and back to Horton station. It's been many years since my last ascent and was pleased to see the flagstone/cinder trails on the hill rather than the previous bogfest given the number of users. A donation to the upkeep seems a small price to pay. With Gillian. | richard69 | 18/11/2022 |
