Today certainly wasn't the sort of day that I would have chosen to go out in, but having stayed the night in Ingleton, I thought I'd better take the opportunity. I left my car at the Youth Hostel and headed up towards Ingleborough. It wasn't raining, but there was a lot of moisture in the air and visibility was near zero! There were a couple of occasions where I came close to turning back, but I pressed on and made it to the top. The winds up there were fierce, and it was very cold, so I took the decision to return by the route I'd taken. The advantage of this over the route I'd planned, was that I avoided the 3 miles along a road at the finish!
I made it back down, and as I got near the bottom, the visibility started to improve...but not by much! It wasn't the weather to press on and do Pen-y-ghent, so I haven't yet conquered the Yorksire 3 Peaks.
