Whernside

On bank holiday Sunday I joined Colin and Bev and the bank holiday crowds on Whernside for another recce for the three peaks.
The route up Whernside has changed since I last did the three peaks and now takes a long diversion north before gradually climbing up the north ridge to the summit. The new route is substantially longer but much easier going and passes a picturesque waterfall in Force Gyll.

Starting out.

The summit gave far reaching views from Morecambe Bay to the Lake District and Howgill Fells and in the other direction almost the full extent of the three peaks walk.
We continued down southwards from the summit before dropping down to Bruntscar farm where we left the three peaks route and headed back to Ribblehead via Gunnerfleet farm.
