With a fine view of Ben Venue to their left, Jean Storey led her merry band off at a cracking pace -

but sadly not in the right direction.

Paul raced ahead on the way to the summit.

Distance 3.38 miles, including the unintended diversion (1.16 miles) at the start.

Summit 454m.

Total ascent 425m.

I used the timer for this photo, and almost lost my cap on the rush into shot.

Tom Walker and Mark Meehan also made the summit, while Jean Storer and Pauline Varley established a base camp.

The route is quite steep above the tree line, but there is a path all the way.
