Saturday 23rd August, Twisleton Scar and Whernside


We were on Whernside today with a group preparing for a multi-day trek in October. Our route started just outside Ingleton and headed up onto Twisleton Scar. We enjoyed some nice views over to Ingleborough from the Scar. There are also some large limestone pavements on Twisleton which we investigated before heading off along the ridge towards Whernside.



The weather was good and we enjoyed a pleasant walk along the ridge with few people in sight. We eventually joined the path up onto Whernside and suddenly meet hundreds of walkers. Many were part way round their three peaks challenge ( Peny Gent, Whernside and Ingleborough). Our plans today were much more gentle and we reached the summit cairn in time for lunch. It was much colder now and after a quick bite to eat we headed off back along the ridge to the cars.
