Today I’ve had a bit of a day out with no plan…
Started with walk from Arnside to Silverdale. Then headed to Carnforth and onto the S&C!
Today was about trying to rediscover the fun of travelling by train!

Local stone was quarried and used for construction, creating the characteristic vernacular architecture of villages like Horton in Ribblesdale. The
view is across the churchyard next to the village church with the top of Pen y Ghent visible above the roofs of the houses.

Looks like we're in for more glorious weather here in Yorkshire!
With extremely low water levels it's a great time to head out to a stream to see what you can find!
We recently spotted this lovely little Siphonodendron amongst the cobbles in a dry stream near Horton in Ribblesdale.

Randomly browsing Wikipedia and noticed that Pen-y-ghent despite its very Welsh sounding name (actually Cumbric) doesn't actually have an entry on Welsh Wikipedia.
Although it is available in Persian and some other languages.

![Pen-y-ghent or Penyghent is a fell in the Yorkshire Dales, England. It is the lowest of Yorkshire's Three Peaks at 2,277 feet (694 m);[1] the other two being Ingleborough and Whernside.[2] It lies 1.9 miles (3 km) east of Horton in Ribblesdale.[3] It has a number of interesting geological features, such as Hunt Pot, and further down, Hull Pot. The waters that flow in have created an extensive cave system which rises at Brants Gill head.
In 2004 the body of Lamduan Armitage, dubbed by the media the "Lady of the Hills", was found near to the entrance of Sell Gill Hole.[4
In the Cumbric language, exactly as in today's Welsh, pen meant 'top' or 'head', and y is most likely the definite article (the), exactly as in Modern Welsh y (compare Pen-y-berth 'end of the hedge/copse', or Pen-y-ffordd 'head of the road/way', etc.). The element ghent is more obscure, it could be taken to be 'edge' or 'border'.[5] The name Pen-y-ghent could therefore mean 'Hill on the border' (compare Kent).[6] Or else, the final element may be gïnt, meaning "a heathen, a gentile" (< Latin gentis; c.f. Welsh gynt), presumably in reference to Scandinavian pagans.[7]](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:e4qyqvvx2zqymfik2z46q7eu/bafkreieqakwhtpxqf7blmesxi7746wlpelrhxpr2xmjbycbepnbgpbw7tm@jpeg)

Good / interesting walk yesterday- we went from Ribblehead to Horton in Ribblesdale via Ingleborough…
Weather was interesting overall, and much of the morning was an exercise in endurance..
Was good to be with friends though, and to be outside (no bad weather, just poor clothes!)
