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).
