A long time ago in a galaxy far, far away ….. (Updated 20th September 2025)

Further ferreting around in the shoe box turned up a few more photos from times past. Not very good quality I’m afraid, but then they are getting on a bit as they range from the late 1990’s to the early 2000’s. Take no notice of the date of 15th August 2000, that’s only there because a date needs to be entered for this to show up on the diary page.

Annoyingly, I can’t find the shots from Pen-y-Ghent although I know we took one or two. Another trawl through the photo albums then and if they turn up I’ll upload them.

Pen-Y-Ghent, Yorkshire Dales

After another bout of trawling through old photos I finally found the Pen-Y-Ghent ones –

 

– they were in an album dated 1988, 37 years ago!

As you can see neither of us were dressed appropriately as we hadn’t intended climbing Pen-Y-Ghent that day. We were just driving around the Dales on a sunny summer’s day and as we were approaching Horton-in-Ribblesdale we made a spur of the moment decision to climb Pen-Y-Ghent. No preparation, no packs, no boots, no maps, no food and drinks, nothing but a fine, sunny day and youthful enthusiasm!
