Yorkshire Dales, Buckden Pike & Moss Top from Buckden.

A brief pause in the downpours of the winter allowed for a trip into the Dales and an ascent of Buckden Pike and then over to Moss top before descending back into Buckden.

6 1/2 hrs.

Parking in Buckden.

We were to head up the scar towards the ruins of Buckden Lead Mine.

On Moss Top.

Looking over to Pen-y- Ghent and Plover Hill.

One of these is Birks Tarn, just not sure which one as there has been so much rain of late.

Time for a swift pint in the Buck Inn before heading off home.
