Summit of The Old Pike

North eastern end of a ridge that starts at Beamsley Beacon - best seen in its entirety from Ilkley far below in the Wharfedale valley. Not nearly as much visited as its twin, Beamsley Beacon, it is in fact slightly superior in altitude.

The summit outcrops appear to have sprouted a fingerpost since my last visited - indicating the way to Littlegate. Twinned with Beamsley Beacon, a little under a kilometre to the south west.
