Ingleborough - The Other Erratic

[Lesley Jones]

I've done it again! Thought I posted, while I probably only checked it in preview.

This completes the gloomy weather series (well - one day in the Dales anyway). The entrance to the White Scar caves can be seen near the centre of the picture.

And another stunning shot Lesley. Wonderful light again and the composition is superb.

Thank you Pete

This is stunning!
How has this possibly only received one comment!
Really very lovely!

This is beautiful and it reminded me that I have not been to Inglebrough for years so a quick google and a trip planned for later in the month.

The only slightly negative comment I have is that the frame is probably too large for a forum as the forum software limits the size so I can only see a small amount of the photo, nearly as many frame pixels as photo pixels.

I am sure it would look fantastic printed large in a gallery etc.

Loving your work and PP skills

Thanks Mark. I must find some time to visit this area. The images from Lesley and the information in those links make it very tempting.

See if you can make it in August Pete

A bit more googling finds a pothole club site that is having a public access 'Winch meet' at Gaping Gill

I have wanted to do this for years.

Some links:
Craven Pothole Club - Gaping Gill

Craven Pothole Club - Gaping Gill

Craven Pothole Club - Gaping Gill

look at the photos on that site, it looks amazing.

A long walk in from the nearest village and probably a bit of a wait for a descent.

How will I keep my X100 dry down there

imagine walking to the end of the Gantry:

and then lowered down on the chair

Look how small the people look.

Maybe we could plan a photographers forum group descent

Love that bit on the 3rd link. You can tell it is run by enthusiasts and that a marketing firm wasn't employed, "£15 per person - includes ascent!"!!

All sounds good to me but i can imagine that Ina would hate it.

An RPF descent. And there was me thinking we couldn't sink any lower!!

 

[Mark Grant]

My wife would not go anywhere near it , hates heights or anything dangerous...

There is a good account of someones trip on this webpage from 2006:

I've done potholing at the back of the Cheddar show caves and a weekend in Wales! I'm getting a bit too old for it now though
