| Aaron aged 13 kindly offered to carry granddads rucksack. On our way to Brackenbottom from where we would start the ascent. |
 |
| The rocky crags skirting this end of Pen-y-Ghent |
 |
| The paths for the most part were remarkably good, both up and down. |
 |
| The rocky gritstone debris below the upper crag. |
 |
| The stratified upper gritstone crag. |
 |
| On the summit where we had an early lunch. Being a Sunday, and a nice day, there was a constant stream of walkers coming up, many with their dogs. |
 |
| After lunch we crossed a stile to the other side of a wall to begin the descent. There was a marked difference in temperature on this side of the wall, and care was needed due to ice on some of the steps. |
 |
| A couple of adventurous gents took a quicker way down. |
 |
| Hull Pot, reputed to have been formed by the collapse of an underground cavern. |
 |
| We finished our grub off here. whilst basking in the winter sunshine. Aaron is engrossed in his music. |
 |
| Leaving Hull Pot as the day was still young and the weather fine, we decided to extend our walk by a couple of miles. Looking back, The summit was now blanketed in cloud. |
 |
| Almost back to Horton. A total of 8 miles and 1967 ft of ascent. |
