St Leonard's Church, Chapel-le-Dale

The Church of St Leonard. It was used as a burial plot for the navvies, and their family members, who died whilst constructing the nearby Ribblehead Viaduct between 1869 and 1876. In all, over 200 people died during the construction from accidents and outbreaks of smallpox. Link

Wooden Ladder Stile & Finger Post at Chapel le Dale

This was on the B6255 Low Sleights Road, almost opposite the end of Roman Road which leads to St. Leonard's Church. This image was taken in April 2010. Google Street View from April 2011 shows the stile still there, but it had been replaced with a stone stile by August 2016. The finger post points to Ingleborough 2 miles.

Old milestone

Another of the West Riding CC milestones set up in 1893/94 on this section of the Lancaster to Richmond route which was in the West Riding prior to 1974. It has succumbed to the Pennine weather and, although not Listed, it deserves repainting. The foundry name is in the long rectangle on the bevel. William Towler, Globe Foundry, Leeds.

Towards Chapel-le-Dale from the Southerscales track

The track to Southerscales leaves the B6255 at the top of a limestone bench, and remains level as it heads southwest. The edge of the bench forms an elvated viewpoint above Chapel-le-Dale, with the distant view extending to the southern end of Scales Moor.

Causeway to the Arks across Humphrey Bottom

Humphrey Bottom is pretty boggy for a lot of the year, so repeated use by hikers heading up or down Ingleborough via the Arks (an unpleasantly steep section heading into the cloud in this view) was causing too much damage to the fragile vegetation and peat, so, whilst ugly, this long causeway was an inevitable response (adding stone to make a solid path would have been vastly expensive and done nothing to help the drainage).

Heading down the Southerscales track

Familiar to many cavers as the route to and from Meregill Hole, Black Shiver Pot, Roaring Hole and several other potholes, the track gives easy going for walkers, and somewhat more challenging progress for a Cave Rescue Landrover (usually in the dark with heavy rain - and after the pub). By the time you are here on the way down, the difficulties are largely behind you.

Ingleborough is 32km (20 miles) north-north-west from Weets Hill, and seen here rising above low cloud that filled Ribblesdale on this cold day.
