    Yes, there is a bridleway all the way from Ingleton to the summit.

    11 hours? Pfft, 8 hours 50 mins here.

    Well done. I was 18 and a half stone - 19 stone, started at 4am and had been in the pub until 1am, the bit down from Ingleborough to Horton was the very very worst.

    It is doable and it is legal.

    But you need to ask yourself if it's worth the effort. And my answer would be, no it isn't.

    Too much effort, too little reward. Don't bother.
