After an enjoyable and eventful weekend in the Yorkshire Dales, here is a quick look back to our trip to Ingleton, Yorkshire.
People's highlights of the weekend include:
- A scenic short walk from Chapel-le-Dale to Ribblehead station, accompanied by a fell runner for part of the way

- "At least if I fall here, I won't die, just get seriously injured!" (Helen-Jayne)
- "We survived the wall of death! (Helen-Jayne)
