Yorkshire Dales

Ali

We’re staying at The Old School Bunkhouse at Chapel le Dale on the B6255 Ingleton to Hawes road (postcode LA6 3AR, see map), close to Ribblehead Viaduct, in Yorkshire Dales Limestone country, between Ingleborough and Whernside, with superb views of both. The perfect location for exploring the Yorkshire Dales and climbing Ingleborough, Pen-y-Ghent or Whernside. Some of us are planning to tackle all three peaks in 12 hours – the classic 24-mile challenge walk. Or there are caves and waterfalls to visit, valley walks and plenty of tea shops.

Pillows are provided, but you need to bring a sleeping bag. The bunkhouse is on the B6255 Ingleton to Hawes road, 4½ miles from Ingleton (postcode LA6 3AR, grid ref SD742776). The Hill Inn is 200 yds away.

Deposit £35 to Dave P will book your bed
