Another trip to Ben Vorlich. We were wanting a day out and weather wasn`t too great so we went with TommyS (& Ollie) up Ben Vorlich. Something close by and he hadn`t done it yet.
It was foggy all day, but the path was easy to follow as the light snow that fell during the day clung on to it, marking it out. It was also quite busy .Groups of walkers above and below us all day.
It was a good workout as the steep climb makes you work hard for it.
We also helped out a guy who had gone up with his son and two dogs get back down by the craggy section, but the kid was loving it , his dad just a bit nervous.
Ollie led the way all the way top the top.
