YNU Bryological section: report for 2014

摘要

The following sectional meetings were held in 2014. Nomenclature follows the current British Checklist and Census Catalogue (Hill et al., 2008).Ingleborough (VC64), 3 May 2014Although the bryophytes of Ingleborough have been well recorded in the past, it is some years since the higher parts of the hill have been visited by Yorkshire bryologists. We were blessed with near perfect weather for our ascent, dry and clear but witha thin covering of cloud. Our route in was from Storrs Common at Ingleton but we did little bryology until we reached the higher ground above c.600m. Most of our time was spent in three areas: the gritstone scree below the western crags (centred on SD737745), the high limestone cliffs on the north-western side (around SD739747) and the gritstone scree and scattered limestone outcrops on the north side (centred on SD737747).
