Buckden Pike (The Yorkshire Dales South)

From Buckden: SD960 788 Height 702m (2302ft)


Went up on 2/4/08 which was a Wednesday. Weather although not sunny was just fine.

It took 90 mins up with 30 mins strolling around the top to the Polish airmen's memorial. See http://www.buckdenpike.co.uk/ Both the site and the spot are well worth the visit and an experience you won't forget.

The track was really muddy in places which bears witness to the numbers of walkers who come here. There was no-one around when I got there which was just as well since it was very peaty. This top is normally taken in conjunction with Great Whernside but I didn't have the time since I woke up late.....
