We are nearing the end of this trip to Brigholme Farm CL and there are still some Ordnance Survey trig pillars in the area that I have not “bagged” and as luck would have it a visit to them can be combined with a walk in Crummack Dale.

A Cracking Walk to Ingleborough and Moughton Scar
It is a cracking day and one where I am going to walk on my own with Crosby. These days Dexter cannot cope with long walks on hot days so he and Lynnie are going to stay around the caravan. When visiting this area it is always a certainty that I will walk up Ingleborough at least once, the only question is how soon after our arrival. This time it is within 24 hours!

Walking Around the Stunning Crummack Dale
Yesterday was a “rest day,” after the exertions of the Three Peaks Challenge I decided it would be sensible not to walk too far. Instead we ventured out a couple of times with the dogs for short ambles around Giggleswick and Settle. My legs and knees feel surprisingly good. When I did the three peaks a couple of years ago I could hardly walk for a few days.

A Walk to Crummack Dale
Yesterday I promised Lynnie a walk through Crummack Dale and then whilst walking decided to alter the route to take a trip over Ingleborough. The pie and pint in the Talbot in Settle last night provided some compensation, but now I need to deliver the walk Lynnie had been expecting. So we are off to Clapham again to complete a curricular walk through Crummack Dale.

Where Are We?
After a night of heavy rain we start to think about our walk for the day. Whenever we plan a trip to Brigholme Farm CL Lynnie requests we do some new walks, as we only visit once a year I find this difficult. There are so many walks I really love, like the climb to the top of Ingleborough from Clapham, which Lynnie is fed up of and terms a trudge from Gaping Gill to the top. However, there are some walks that Lynnie is happy to repeat. So today I suggest a route through Crummack Dale.

A Wonderful Walk through Wharfe
Every time we come to the Yorkshire Dales Lynnie requests that we add a new walk to our repertoire. The problem is there are so many walks here that I enjoy that it sometimes difficult to squeeze them all into a visit.
Today I have promised Lynnie that we will do a new walk. She is slightly suspicious when we head off to Clapham; she knows this is the start of my favourite circular walk up Inglegborough. However, as we leave the village by the tunnels alongside the church she knows we must be heading somewhere different.

A Special Place with Special People
There is one walk in the Dales that I have tried to do every year for as many years as I can remember and that is the trip up Ingleborough. There was one year when I was working in the north that I made a detour on the journey between Middlesbrough and Liverpool just to walk up it. (more…)
