Saturday’s Walk: Up to Gaping Gill and On to Ingleborough

That was the plan, anyway.

We found ourselves in the clouds, so we just put our heads down and powered through the stiff, wet ascent.

Visibility was low in the thick mist, so when Mark—the Sherpa of the group—sat down, we all took the hint and stopped for lunch. The wind and rain were hammering us as we ate, but we were determined.

After lunch, we began our descent. It wasn’t until later, sitting in the bar and nursing a beer, that we realized we hadn’t quite made the summit—we’d lunched at Little Ingleborough instead.

All we could do was laugh it off and order another round. The summit will still be there next time.

Gentlemen, if you’d like to contribute to the gallery, please send me your photos.

Thanks, Gary
