Ribble Way crossing Swinesett Hill

The vague bruised line footpath that is the Ribble Way crosses grassy moorland in the vicinity of Swinesett Hill. Nether Lodge is the farm in the middle distance; Pen-y-ghent rises above the slope at the left side of the image.

Wall corner on Park Fell

Just north of the trig point of Park Fell, (itself north-east of Ingleborough), the grassy slope drops away gently to the wall corner in the image where there's a gate and from where a path approaches.
