A FAMILY TRIP TO THE NORTH YORKSHIRE MOORS AND I FINALLY GOT TO VISIT ROSEBERRY TOPPING. THIS ENTIRE AREA IS COMPLETELY NEW TO ME SO I WAS REALLY EXCITED ABOUT BEING SOMEWHERE NEW. TODAY'S walk WAS RECOMMENDED TO US BY MY OLD EVEREST TREK FRIENDS, ANDREW AND MICHELLE. tHEY JOINED US ON THE WALK TOO. FOR SUCH A SMALL PEAK IT'S SURPRISING HOW MANY DIFFERENT WAYS UP THERE ARE. WE CHOSE THE DIRECT ROUTE FROM THE CAR PARK BESIDE THE A173. WE WERE PROMISED GREAT VIEWS FROM THE SUMMIT AND THAT IS EXACTLY WHAT WE GOT!

 

VIEWS OF THE PROMINENT PEAK FROM THE START

INITIALLY WE FOLLOWED THE OBVIOUS PATH BUT WHEN WE REACHED THE STEEP SECTION OF STEPS WE TURNED LEFT AND FOLLOWED ANOTHER TRACK.

IT DOESN'T TAKE LONG TO CLIMB BUT IT WAS A HOT DAY!

LOOKING BACK. YOU CANT FORGET TO TURN BACK EVERY NOW AND THEN.

hERE WE ALL ARE ON THE BUSY SUMMIT.

lOOKING SOUTH. HASTY BANK IS ONE OF THOSE HILLS IN THE DISTANCE. I HAD PLANS TO VISIT THERE SOMETIME OVER THE COMING WEEK.

LOOKING SOUTH EAST. CAPTAIN COOK'S MONUMENT.
