Ascent of Pen-y-ghent from Horton-in-Ribblesdale with a group of friends including experienced hill walkers and novices (including teens under 18). Some residual snow patches had to be negotiated. I assisted novice over rockier sections. There were some navigational challenges choosing safe routes through and around the snow. This day was significant to me as a return to 'proper' hill walking.

South Yorkshire Dales
Most of the larger southern dales (e.g. Ribblesdale, Malhamdale and Airedale, Wharfedale and Nidderdale) run roughly parallel from north to south. Includes the Three Peaks, Malham and Langstrothdale/Wharfdale.
