The subject of today's walk , watching over Ribble Head , Blea moor
At Ribble Head is the famous Ribblehead Viaduct with Whernside in the background
Looking back to Ingleborough
A train passes Bleamoor siding's signal box
Another colourful train passes by on the Settle to Carlisle Railway
With the railway line now in Bleamoor tunnel below the footpath follows the same course above
One of the tunnels air shafts surrounded by spoils of earth presumably created during the digging of the tunnel
View back to Ribble Head
The railway emerges in Dent Dale and very soon crosses Dent Dale Viaduct
To the east is Dodd Fell
There's some stormy weather over in Garsdale
A patch of cloud heads eastwards with Dent Railway Station to the right
Wold Fell & Great Knoutberry Hill
Ribble Head and Ingleborough
Close up of Ribblehead Viaduct & Ingleborough
Further east is Pen-y-ghent
And to complete the trio of Yorkshire 3 peaks , Whernside
Although it's nice and sunny on Blea Moor summit the weather further north is pretty dreadful
A freight train passes over Ribblehead Viaduct
My route off Blea Moor heads towards Dodd Fell in the distance where eventually I join the Dale's Way path
The ground is very rough & boggy , this is the view towards Snaizeholme Fell
Ingleborough on the way back to Ribble Head , behind dark clouds head in which in all honesty are long overdue
