We will walk via Brakenbottom and climb Pen-Y-Ghent from the south side.
The views from Pen-Y-Ghent on a clear day will be superb.
Once on Plover hill we will drop off north and pick up the Pennine way path.
On our return we can take a visit to the magnificent chasm Hull Pot (a sight to see), which is slightly off route.
