This is a linear walk from Dent Railway Station to Ribblehead that starts with a 10 minute train ride over the famous Ribblehead Viaduct. The walk takes us through part of Dent Dale, across Blea Moor and climbs the summit Whernside before returning to Ribblehead.
Start: Platform 2, Ribblehead Railway Station (NGR: NY 765 789). We catch the 10:27am train to Dent. Single train fare is currently £3.20. Plenty of free car parking in the vicinity of the station.
Start time: We travel on the 10:27am train from Ribblehead.
Distance: 10.5 miles
Time: up to 6 hours
Terrain: Mostly on reasonable paths with some road walking, but the footpaths crossing Blea Moor can be very boggy! The ascents of Blea Moor and Whernside are on relatively steep paths and give the heart a good workout. There is little shelter on the walk and it is very exposed to the elements.
Total ascent: 700 metres
Leader: Jeremy 07899923019. Please let me know if you're coming
