A short detour from my route to see the large hole in the ground that is Hull Pot....
Ingleborough in the distance from the bridleway to Foxup moor..
The view to a distant Whernside from the top of the steep ascent of Plover Hill. The top section of this is now a pitched path. The last time I came this way in 2009 it was becoming muddy and eroded. It's much better now.
