Meet Malcolm Gardner at either: Burley-in-Wharfedale station at 11.15am, Ben Rhydding station at 12.20pm or Ilkley Old Bridge at the bottom of Stockeld Road between 1pm and 1.30pm. Part 1 is 2.8 miles, part 2 is 1.9 miles and part 3 from Ilkley to Addingham is 3.3 miles. Mainly level walking with a couple of steep climbs and some walking on quiet roads.

Walking boots or stout shoes are recommended on all walks. Due to the very nature of the countryside, walkers may, from time to time, experience difficulties, whether it be a difficult stile, slippery steps, mud etc.

It is advisable to bring food and drinks on all our walks and activities, and we recommend that for walks starting before lunchtime you bring a packed lunch.
