Ascent Trip Report

Started from the highest point on the minor road to the west of the hill. In very heavy rain a swift ascent was made. The new shelter looked excellent except that a huge puddle had formed in the crescent and I duly dropped a glove. Highest point in Yorkshire not that I knew as there was absolutely no view.
