The last time I climbed Pen-y-Ghent was quite a few years ago, when probably fitter. It's in the Yorkshire Dales and the lowest of three peaks. Starting from car park in Horton- in- Ribblesdale, we began the ascent up on a very hot September day. Some challenging steep rock climbing just before the summit, but a sense of satisfaction at the end.
We didn't go as far as obtaining an 'achievement badge', but ended up with cuppa and ice-cream instead at the Sew On Hands shop (B6479 Horton in Ribblesdale).
(Filmed inbetween lockdowns.)
Soundtrack 'A Memory' available from album 'Cool Vibes' on Bandcamp

First time going up pen-y-Ghent, there was cloud over the mountain. Entering the scramble was entering the cloud. You could see nothing around you other than a sheer drop blanketed by fog. The rocks were wet, it was very windy and I had insane vertigo in that moment. I was out of breath and panicking for how steep I had to scramble in torrential mountain weather. Eventually, 2 hikers came past me and encouraged me to keep going. They said "You can't go back down now, you have to summit to enjoy the gentle descent back down". I believed him and continued. I struggled more and more just wanting to be anywhere but there but I did it. Eventually I climbed up and onto the path to the summit. I was so proud of myself. I never thought I suffered from a fear of heights but in that moment with the weather conditions, unfamiliar terrain and fog making the sheer drop look much scarier, I experienced a strong sense of fear I'd never felt before. I can jump of 5m+ diving boards, I'm not afraid of flying but that moment was intense. Maybe I'm not cut out for the mountains. Has anyone else had this experience with the Yorkshire three peaks before? or am I the only one?

Hi Will. You certainly went through very traumatic experiences in your climb up Pen y Ghent. I sympathise completely with you. Must admit I too suffer from fear of heights but I did it in fine weather and also had some support/guidance. There again we usually check weather conditions before any mountain climb. Did you know it was going to be such wet/foggy conditions?

@@CountrysideWalking It was partly cloudy with 5% rain at 17 degrees in august so it seemed fine. Clouds came and went. It was just when you were in the cloud, everything was wet and foggy

This is where it all really started for me, doing Penyghent as a 15 year old with two school pals. Easily one of my favourite walks and for me the best of the Three Peaks. Looks like you both had a lovely day. Thanks for sharing. Chris

Glad pen-y-ghent brought back early memories for you. Interesting you prefer it to the other peaks which I'v not yet done. Thanks for comments.

What nice comments and the 'leave nothing but foot prints, memories and film'. Pleased you enjoyed the views on my channel.

@solitaryrambler 3 года назад

Nice to see you in the Yorkshire Dales Shanita. You most certainly earned your brew from that cafe at the end. That was a steep climb, it really came across in your film. Love your musical score as always, particularly the dramatic music accompanying the shots where we see you climbing 👍

@CountrysideWalking 3 года назад

Thanks Patrick for feedback. The music on the climbing bit seemed appropriate to dramatize the occasion. Also more rewarding to achieve a second time now filmed to remember.

Great to hear your inspiration to climb Pen-y-ghent. Thanks for watching.

@lancsway 3 года назад

That's a great video! Really like your music with strings, brass & piano Shanita.

@CountrysideWalking 3 года назад

Thanks so much. Lovely comments. Did you mean the first one "A Memory" or second dramatic orchestration of 'Deep Waters".

@lancsway 3 года назад

Must be Deep Waters with the short string stabs (but not plucked).

@CountrysideWalking 3 года назад

@@lancsway Yes. That was quite a dramatic orchestral production. One of my first attempts so appreciate your comments. Thanks.

@karlspence4529 9 месяцев назад

How long does this walk take?

@CountrysideWalking 9 месяцев назад

Pen-y-ghent. The answer to that Karl, depends on how fast you walk. 3 to 4 hours at an easy pace but if a fast walker can do it quicker.

@spursp2321 2 года назад

Looks quite dangerous. Is it safe?

@CountrysideWalking 2 года назад

Yes it is safe, but more hazardous coming down than going up the steep part of Pen-y-ghent. I had the guidance of Michael at the time, so probably better having someone with you if never climbed/scrambled before or feel unsure.

@peterheyes8552 3 года назад

Hi, do you get down the same way you walked up?

@CountrysideWalking 3 года назад

Pen-y-ghent was a circular route going up the steep route then returning down the easy part. But we did join the same section where we stopped to look a board map just before the end. I think I also included a map briefly in the video.
