Ingleton routes

Hikes for Ingleton:

Hike 1: Whernside - Ingleborough, 26 km, 1000 m. of ascent. It's a long one!

Hike 2: Whernside, 25 km, 650 meters of ascent. Considerably longer than any other hike 2 however the terrain is also a lot easier and it involves a long road march. Must be fast-paced or otherwise turn back before you reach Whernside!

Hike 3. Dropped off at Clapham. Going up Ingleborough - 12 km, 630 m of ascent. Check out the Ingleborough Cave and the cool waterfall at Gaping Gill on your way up. Once up Ingleborough, take the south west path down to Ingleton.

Hike 4. Ascending Gragareth - 9 km, 500 meters of ascent. It seems it might have to come back the same way. However, if your group is feeling energetic, walk further north for a couple of more km and turn east just before Green Hill and then head southwest to complete the loop back to Ingleton.

Skills hike: exciting navigational and survival exercises.

Weather looks alright. Possible rain in the morning leaving a bright day with good views. Winds are looking very strong though - 45 gusting to 60 mph, so it would probably be quite cold.

Watch out for time as Hike 1 and 2 (potentially 4 for as well) are slightly longer than usual. Hike 1 can drop Ingleborough if pressured for time. Hike 3 should be ok for time as long as not ages are spent looking at the pretty caves/waterfalls. If Hike 4 group is slow, just come back the same way.

Happy hiking!
