| Comments: | Walking along the Ribble Way it wasn't long before we reached Helwith Bridge. It was then a steady climb to the base of the Pen-y-Ghent and then a short steep climb with a bit of a scramble to reach the summit. From here we continued to follow the Pennine Way, a very easy descent to Tarn Bar. A clear but stony track led us back to the car. | ||
