    The plan emerged to go for a walk + fun scramble up Penyghent in the Dales on Saturday. The walk I have in mind includes Plover Hill and Hull Pot and is about 10 miles give or take (4 hours or so?), but a shorter version of 6 miles is also possible.

    Forecast is alright (but will keep an eye on it): “Winds now backed south or southeast bringing dry and occasionally bright conditions. Freezing level above all peaks.”
    As advised by Andrew: The summit areas can be damp, so waterproof boots advised.

    My plan A is to take the train from York at 8:44am to Horton-in-Ribblesdale to arrive at 10:31am (£32 return), so should be able to be back at the pub when it’s still bright!

    Any takers?

    Looks like a very promising day to be on the hill. This afternoon’s MWIS forecast is excellent. No rain, mostly sunny skies. A wind from the SE will be behind us (ish) as we go northwards along the top of the hills. https://www.mwis.org.uk/assets/forecasts/yd-mwi-wm13199_2022-11-09_161056_4598.pdf.
    I believe the outlook is for rough weather next week so Carpe Diem.

    Hi, I apply it. This will be my first track in UK. Thanks Charely and Andrew.
