An Erratic Walk

A short Sunday stroll today.  We walked to Clapham and then uphill through the tunnels next to Ingleborough Hall before turning onto Long Lane and then up to Ash Tree Crag before following an easy rake to higher ground.

We were wanting to cross the drystone wall but there were no stiles and it took us some time to find an easy way over the wall, especially for those shorter of leg.  A stop for sandwiches in the lee of a small crag was the prelude to descending the limestone pavement to the Norber erratics for some impromptu bouldering.

We found the path to the bottom of Robin Proctor's Scar and followed Thwaite Lane back to Clapham before indulging in a little afternoon tea on Lowstern's terrace.
