Mill Bridge, Bell Busk, Coniston Cold CP I remember this from cycling clubruns fifty years ago when we used to ride over the bridge for 'tea-only' (i.e. with our own sandwiches)in a farmhouse kitchen with a flitch (large piece of ham) hung from the ceiling. I think this was Mill House rather than the building in this view, which is Mill Lodge.

Pen-y-Ghent makes up one the Yorkshire 3 peaks which, if you accept the challenge have to complete all 3 peaks and 24 miles within 12 hours. Most people start with this one (the smallest of the 3 ) from the nearby village of Horton-in-Ribblesdale. I’ve completed the challenge many years ago in my youth and this time we just tackled this one on a circular 6 mile walk. We took the 3 peaks ascent route which is steep in places and involves a scramble up some rocks near the end but the views
