This was a family get together in the heart of the Yorkshire Dales. Broadrake bunkhouse is at the foot of Whernside with fabulous views across the valley to Ingleborough and the Ribblehead viaduct.
No big hikes this weekends but I did manage a couple of 'there and back' walks up Whernside and a wander across the valley in front of the bunkhouse.

First time on Whernside I didn't get to the top. We got past the steep section onto the ridge and Ralpy (who is 10 with some health issues wanted to turn back). I came down with him while the other three headed onto the summit.

Toms head - the highest point in Yorkshire!

The climb up to Whernside from the bunkhouse is short but steep to get onto the ridge line.

A lovely weekend despite the weather.
