Ross Chambers it took just over 3.5 hrs to climb up. The views were spectacular, I'm going to do it again in the spring.

Andy Younie - amazing, I climbed Snowdon with my friends a few years ago and quite a few wanted to get the train down but ended up ensuring the descent on foot. I think your method is much more effective :) I'm doing my elementary and club training this spring so with any luck by May/June I'll be able to get out on my own. I live Blackpool so thinking of doing my training over near Settle. I can't wait, I can't believe I've not thought of this sooner. I used to do a bit of flying in light aircraft but this seems much more fun! How long have you been flying for?

Ross Chambers you will love it! I've only been flying a couple of years so still a beginner.

Andy Younie out of interest, how many times per year do you get out flying?
