The eastern cairn. All the other approaches are near vertical, here the hill has been reshaped to make things more awkward for the casual visitor
The ascent – all the approaches, except from the East, are like this. This is a tough climb.
Closer to the hill – the track goes straight up what looks like a vertical ascent, between the 2 gibbons ahead
Ingleborough from Whernside – the limestone pavement is visible as the white line running above the green
notice the scramble track eroding away into the ground ...
King Arthur knights a follower – fair play. Arthur was extremely “refreshed” at the time ...
Spring Equinox, 2003
From the nearby dual carriage way ... when I was driving along, I saw the hill and just pulled over on the hard-shoulder and took a few pictures. At the time, I had no idea of the history of the place ...
from here, you can see how the lintels stay up, using basic carpentry (but in stone). The bump on the top of the upright nestles nicely into the hole on the underneath of the fallen lintel ...
Sorry Jimit, I know we shouldn’t double up pix, but here’s the same stone surrounded by the ancient people who erected it ... strange tales are told of it’s magical transportation from a mighty quarry in the back of a minivan to the fayre of Glastonphant, where it met with a gifted craftsman. From there to the county of Hampshire, where it was tugged and grappled until it reached the earth in which it now stands.
Behold
THE DONGAS!!!!!

southern entrance ... this is Ridgeway country, and you can drive anywhere you like ...
from the Ridgeway, to the west
long shot .. the camp is the light brown bit at the top, banks about 2-3 feet hight, the whole thing about 70 ft across
south-west corner, showing the height of the banks
squint hard, and you’ll see the presumed entrance to the settlement, at the southern tip of the camp
This looks like it, but I’m not quite sure. There’s a gentle undulation up, with smaller depression at the southern side.
In here somewhere, but I think it’s a landscape feature on the golf course now.
