7.00am at the Pen-y-ghent Cafe.

We decided to attempt this walk clockwise instead of the usual counterclockwise direction, this we thought would make the long walk in from Ingleborough less painful at the end of the day, it certainly did but the severn miles from Whernside to Pen-y-ghent seemed much further, try it for yourself but don't forget to clock in at the Pen-y-ghent Cafe, Good Luck.
