Total distance 15 miles - 6.5 hours 
This was a very long teadious walk!!
We set off from Ingleton and walked down a single track road and then on to a farm track. Unfortunately when we got to the farm we took a wrong turning but we luckily realised our mistake about a mile later. Feeling a bit angry with ourselves we turned around and retraced our steps to the farm, then took the right path!!
We then headed out onto the open fields which were absolutely saturated following all the recent snow. The mist was also really low so we could hardly even see our hands in front of our faces. We were supposed to be following a dry stone wall, all the way to the summit, but the mist was so bad that we couldn't even find the wall. We eventually happened across a cairn which we located on our map, then we followed the field across to the wall.
At this point we thought that it would be plain sailing all the way to the top, but the ground was so wet that we had to really watch our footsteps the whole way. By this time Beccy's feet were soaked through to her socks and we knew it was going to be a long day. This part of the journey seemed to go on forever, and it wasn't made any easier by the fact that we couldn't even see our goal (Whernside) because of the mist.
We eventually got to the top and decided to take a quick picture then quickly make our way back down again. But to our surprise, whilst we were taking our picture the mist lifted and we were treated to some fantastic views below.
The descent was very slippery and so we had to make our way down very carefully, we soon reached the farms at the bottom and made our way back towards the horrible wet soggy marsh land again.
This part of the journey seemed to take forever..........Niki's knee was hurting and Beccy's feet looked like prunes because they had been so wet for so long. But we trudged on, mile after mile, until we reached the farm track and retraced our way back home.
In total we probably saw 4 people on the whole journey, so it was lovely and peaceful, and we had beautiful views when the mist lifted.
