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.

Three Peaks Challenge
My favourite destination for a walk is the top of Ingleborough in the Yorkshire Dales, blog followers will know that I venture to the top frequently despite living well over 250 miles south. My second favourite walk is a tour around Whernside and that only just pips a trip up Pen-y-ghent.
In 2014, to be precise 12th June 2014, I tackled all three in one day. Crosby joined me whilst Lynnie and Dexter relaxed back in Settle. It was a hot sunny day and man and dog got round in just under nine and a half hours. (Crosby would have done it a lot quicker if he had not been dragging me behind him!).

Ingleborough Revisited
After our week in Richmond we have moved a little further south, but remain in the Yorkshire Dales. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Scar Close CL and will definitely be returning in the future. Our current location is a familiar pitch to us at Brigholme Farm CL in Giggleswick.
Past readers will know that we are regular visitors to this site that is within walking distance of our friends in Settle. We have already been here for a couple of days this trip and until now I have done familiar walks in the local area. Today we are heading off for my favourite walk in the Country; it is one that I have done a few times already this year. Regular blog readers will have already guessed that we are heading up Ingleborough.

There Is No Better Place To Be!
Earlier in the year when we were planning this trip Lynnie asked if I fancied eating anywhere special on my birthday. A stupid question really, there was only ever going to be one answer, The Little House Restaurant in Settle. It ticks all the boxes for me, the food is outstanding, the service could not be more attentive and it also means that we can spend an evening with our dear friends Maurice, Jane and Carlos.

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…)
