The A walk will be led by Nigel Purcell and is a circular from Sedbergh. We start at Settlebeck Bridge and head initially along the river Rawthey on the Pennine Journey footpath. We continue on this path until we reach Cautley Home Beck, then head up the valley and climb the very steep path to Cautley Spout. We head along Cautley Crag and then West over the Great Dummacks and Little Dummocks towards Calders. From there we go to the Calf before retracing our steps to Calders. Then we follow the Dales Highway to the base of Winder (if there is time we will go up Winder) which we skirt round to descend into Sedbergh. 11 miles and approx. 2700 feet of ascent.
The B walk will be led by David Bolster and is approximately 8 1/2 miles and 1100 feet. We start at Settlebeck Bridge, along the banks of the River Rawthey to Millthrop where we join the Dales Way and climb over the fells (250 feet climb) to the Dent valley. After a mile we leave Dales Way and continue through more fields and Farms to the road at Craggs Farm, and down to the River Dee. We follow the river to Barth Bridge (first lunch). The return to Sedbergh is via the Frostrow Fells, a 400 feet climb on lane and moorland track (but not following the Dales Way). After a second lunch break, we make our descent to High Hollins and across fields to Millthrop, and then via the school fields into Sedbergh.
The "C" walk will be led by Graham and Sylvia Dyson. *Three River Walk*. We start at Lincolns Inn Bridge and head south along the River Lune to High Oaks. At Hebblethwaites we pick up the River Rawthey. Just after the Sewage Works we turn south to Abbot Holme and pick up the River Dee which we follow to Rash Bridge, where we cross and turn north to follow the Dales Way into Sedbergh.
There are a number of short stretches along some roads where care must be taken. There are a number of styles, but I didn't count them. There are also a number of undulations totalling 638 feet of ascent along the 6 mile walk.
