10.1 miles.
Explorer Map No 30.

A high moorland walk, taking in some of the old lead mining industry above Swaledale.
The walk is at an elevation of up to 1800 ft, and is therefore subject to poor weather. It is best undertaken in summertime, and when the visibility is good, - not only as this makes navigation easier, but there are some superb views.
Use of a map and compass is absolutely essential, and there are one or two places where the ground is very wet underfoot.
Watch out for old mineshafts and pits on top of the moor.
