I'm on with swapping some whetstone for some Flint off Everything Mac. The last time I was up link with notes I only brought a couple of pocket pieces back so yesterday saw me setting off and this time deciding on a different route.
Parked below Horton in Ribblesdale station and took the footpath through it Photo 1
followed the footpath through Sulber Nick to the crossroads at Photo 2
taking the Clapham footpath as far as Sulber Gate Photo 3 over looking Thieves Moss with Pendle Hill in the far distance
at the cairn at Beggars Stile Photo 4 I left the footpath to follow Moughton Scar edge, the line of cliffs just above the cairn
1/2 way along and looking back at Inglebourgh Photo 5
Moughton Whetstone ruins come into view at 6
but you still have to walk round the cliff edge to get to the footpath, on right Photo 7, going down into the Hole
I'm glad the spring was still flowing as it was so hot I was ready for a brew and boil a couple of kettles and let them cool in the stream to refill my water bottles.
brew up and a French Merlot
Lamb and mint burgher with home made bread and vine tomatoes (not shown) and a French Merlot for dinner
Whetstone prospecting
with Penyghent coming into view by Photo 8
and on the last lap downhill from Photo 9
There were hundreds of small blue butterflies mating the whole way round I'll post some photo's in the Flora and Fauna section
just thought I'd share cheers all Danny
