Back Tor or Lose Hill surely?
I was initially thinking that was lose hill in the foreground with mam tor behind, but then changed my mind.
Win Hill too far from Edale for a casual walk, but I can see why you went that way, just 4km too far East!!
Love that part of the world.
We need a pic of those two in the dub dogs thread. They look adorable.
They have appeared on the thread before
"The wee shites" that made me laugh
I thought @Dave512 meant he’d been abandoned with the kids
Wharfedale C&MC enjoying the good weather, some great walking on Malham Moor, and more importantly a weekend away from the allotment 
Busy, not many free pitches.
Good drive up from Stockport in the dry, but would have been far less happy if we still had H4s

A trip over’t tops today.
Proper pea souper this morning in ‘Uddersfield. I’d seen on the weather forecast that it would probably be a better weather prospect on the wrong side of the Pennines.
Got on the M62 (J25) in thick fog, got the chance to switch my fog lights on! 8 deg C
Drove past Scammonden and that farmhouse in the middle of the motorway (Stott Hall Farm), couldn’t see it!
Up to Windy Hill and Summit at a speed of 40 mph as were most others, obviously apart from the knobheads in the usual German cars!
Dropped down the other side into Lancashire exited the wall of fog and into glorious sunshine
Watched as the temperature rose 14 deg C within a few miles!
Ended up in the tiny village of Barley with Pendle Hill as the backdrop. Parked the van in the car park and set off to scale the hill with the Mrs and dog in tow.
It’s a tad steep in places and there was no shortage of gasping budding Chris Bonningtons catching their breath at the side of the narrow path!
Reached the top and tigged the trig point. Only to be told there was a less severe path to the summit! Took the easy descent back down to the village. Had coffee and cake in the wooden shed like tea room then ambled back to the van.
Drove back in glorious sunshine until we reached the Yorks/Lancs border on the M62 where we were once more engulfed in fog.
I know Yorkshire is known as Gods own Country but I think he must’ve fallen out with us today!
A cracking day out!

Malham car park for breakfast, and the classic Janet's Foss, Gordale Scar, Tarn and Cove.
We saw low cloud to the south, but it was gorgeous up in the Dales!
