Little Whernside Looking ahead to Little Whernside. A path follows the dry stone wall all the way to the summit. I had followed the walker who can be seen in front of me for a couple of hours by this point, overtook him somewhere around Little Whernside and then he followed me for the rest of my day. He was the only other person I saw all day in this empty landscape.
