All aboard to Settle as Yorkshire Dales Walking Festival is launched
Last year, the Jane Tomlinson Appeal marked the launch of its first ever Walk For All event at the naming ceremony of the ‘Jane Tomlinson’ Yorkshire train.
And this year, to announce the Yorkshire Dales Walking Festival’s second year, it’s once again ‘All aboard to Settle’ as the team returned to Leeds Train Station.
Taking place on Sunday 19th August, walkers from across Yorkshire and the Dales will pull on their walking boots to take part in the event, which last year sold out in record time.
With distances suitable for everyone, participants will have the opportunity to either take on a marathon challenge or simply enjoy a steady stroll with friends and family.
During the walk, over 2,500 people will take to the hills and enjoy the breath-taking views on the 26, 14 or 5 mile route, which takes in some of the Yorkshire Dales National Park’s most stunning scenery, including the picturesque Malhamdale and two of Yorkshire’s famous Three Peaks, Pen-y-ghent and Ingleborough.
Last year’s event proved so popular, accommodation in the 10-mile radius of Settle - where the walks begin – was sold out for the entire weekend, as walkers from across the country spend time in the hills.
So don’t miss out this year, as entries are open now and going fast! Enter online here
