The rest of the pictures for this walk are now on the site. I had to break off last night after loosing part of a tooth to a sticky Devon Toffee

Great walk, evocative photos but ... why does the pub open at 2.30?

I'm not sure to be honest Paul. It's only Mon - Thurs that it opens at 2:30pm probably because it's a bit off the beaten track.

It's convenient for walkers, I suppose: they must know their sustomers. I've had some serious disappointments walking somewhere of an afternoon expecting to have a nice pint (or two) only to find that the pub was just shutting .....

beautiful area to walk in, hope you enjoyed it. The name Pen-Y-Ghent
has always interested me. Pen meaning "top", Y meaning "of the",
Ghent being a place in Belgium. wherever you are in Belgium your
normally quite close to the top

.
On a different note, I was almost blown of the top of you whilst
walking A coast to cost walk.

I was once told that Pen-y-ghent in English was Hill of the winds. Whether that is correct or not I do not know. Kidsty Pike is one of my favourite spots, it goes back to the early 80's when I would sit there for ages waiting to catch a glimpse of the golden eagles in Riggindale.
