I found that fingerpost a wee bit misleading in 1998 when
completing the Yorkshire 3. We thought we could crack the 10
hours on reaching - and seeing - the sign. I think a number
must have dropped off, as we still had a bit of walking to
do at our 10 hour point.

Where was the signpost? Did you follow a map and know where
you actually was;-).

Where is the offending signpost? It is only about 4.75
miles from the summit of Ingleborough to the New Inn
crossroads in Horton so it is difficult to see what it
could have been unless it was once 4.5 miles and is
situated just below the summit at one or other of the 2
path junctions (South to Clapham).

I would guess it is the finger post at the bridleway
junction at Sulber (SD 777 734)

I've just had a quick look on Anquet and from there to the
station at Horton its about 1.7 miles.
