Sorry, no. I started and finished at Ribblehead.

I've just done Ribblehead, Whernside, Ingleborough then back via Park Fell this morning. The snow made it hard going but looked wonderfully scenic. The path up Whernside was very icy all the way up, and treacherous all the way down. There is quite a bit of snow on the steep bit of the ascent of Ingleborough and there was a group in full crampons and ice axes making a meal of it as we shot up in Roclites! I'd recommend climbing the stile at the bottom of the top wall and going up a grassy bit to the right. I reckon the conditions added about 25% to the overall time.

Enjoy your day tomorrow.

Thanks for your posts. Ventured up Whernside on Sunday from Dent - plenty of snow on top but little ice to worry about on that route - might be different now given the warmer days. Next target Malta half - no snow there!
Cheers

There was something in today's Westmorland Gazette about someone managing to fall off Whernside on Saturday. There was a good bit of snow facing Ribblehead, but you'd have to be daft to wander over the edge.

Have a good run in Malta.

Not many rocks & no ledges so pressume they only slid 50-60 feet?
Plenty of people were walking up Ingleborough armed with ski poles but they were more use as mud poles today.

[are we nearly there yet?]

i am sure this happened on sunday not saturday? we were up whenside on saturday and it was a really clear day-report also doesnt mention that helicopter was grounded at ribblehead (locals were told their battery went flat!!)

Yes, I would say Sunday - a group of us did Horton to the Hill Inn.

Pen-y-Ghent was more treacherous than Whernside - lots of snow and ice the top of PYG, but as you climbed up the steep bit of Whernside, there was a snow overhang which was tricky to negotiate.

The Sea King was parked up at Ribblehead, with engines ticking over at around 11:30am on the Sunday.

Had a change of heart re 3 Peaks Entry - not doing enough fell training at the moment. Anyone?
Any monies will be donated to the local (3 Peaks) mountain rescue team.
Cheers.

Darren if you/(or any one else) still have/has an entry then Brent (one of the TT organisors) would like to give it a go. I managed to talk him into having a jog round...

Reply to me please.
