Picked the perfect late October day to tackle this walk for the first time. We parked up mid-morning at the Golden Lion Hotel, paid our £2 honesty parking, then set off into Horton in Ribblesdale to find somewhere to eat before our day's walk. Horton in Ribblesdale was closed! The Golden Lion Hotel didn't open until 3pm, The Crown Hotel didn't open until midday. The Pen-y-ghent Cafe was closed (permanently, it seemed). A zoom back into Settle was needed just so we could buy a sandwich and some water. So, be warned! Pack a lunch or make sure you have a good English under your belt before you arrive in Horton, because you'll find nowhere to eat or buy food anywhere there before midday. The walk up Pen-y-ghent was - when we finally set off - amazing! A good, steady ascent gives you the most fantastic views. The short clamber up and over rocks at the very end of the walk was huge fun and our sense of achievement when we reached the Trig Point was immense. We had wanted to take the diversion to see The Hull Pot on the way back but managed to miss the signpost! One for next time.

I have done this walk numerous times over the years , the latest being October 2020 in just over 6 hours and I have done it the traditional route, reverse and starting on different mountains first. It is a good day out with decent rail connections at Ribblehead and Horton in ribblesdale if you don't drive. There is plenty of camping around both Horton and on the road out to Ingleton near Ribblehead and several bunk houses in the area. The best time to do this is summer for the longer days. As with any longer hike (or run) do not underestimate it simply because lots of people complete it every year, even in summer it is not unusual to be in the cloud for the first couple of summits, you will usually get wet at some stage. You should always have food, drink, map and mountain kit. Some sections are Clint and Gryke so good boots or fell shoes are a must, particularly when it is wet as it is very smooth in places, ankle rolling stuff. Depending on your route you will have at least 1 steep ascent and should be relatively fit to complete the route, 5100 feet of climbing overall regardless of your route. Currently the footpath up onto Ingleborough from Whernside is closed at the top so there is a steep detour by the stone wall 1/4 mile to the left and mid week there was absolutely nothing open in Horton so do not rely on buying what you need when you get there. Over the last few years the footpaths have improved dramatically but knowledge of the route and a map is still a must as the weather can close in and there are lengths without signage.
