Completed our first training walk last weekend.  6.30 am start at Horton in Ribblesdale. We had fabulous weather – although it was so cold to start with our water started turning to ice!  Snow and ice on the peaks made it quite tough going, as did our little photo project – we stopped every minute or so to take a picture of each other to show the changing landscape along the walk. The results worked out quite well – take a look for yourself below.  The only section we didn’t manage to capture was the final part of the Ingleborough ascent – the steps had turned into an ice cliff so all our care and attention was required to climb safely in the absence of crampons and an ice axe.  And the less said about losing the path in the pitch black and ending up at a scary deserted farm the better!
