As we prepare for our first proper training session I thought it might be worthwhile mapping out in more detail the route. For a rough (but official) guide visit the route on the Oxfam site.
My attempt is fairly crude but I hope in places it is more accurate (when it comes to following footpaths). You might even be able to make out the contours, but on second thoughts it's maybe not a good idea to focus on these.
In simple terms the route goes from Skipton along the canal to join the Pennine Way. We follow the Pennine Way up to Malham and then over to Fountains Fell and Pen-y-ghent. When the Pennine Way meets the Dalesway we follow the Dalesway and (eventually) return to Skipton down Wharfedale. Sounds simple really!
When the more detailed and official route is available I'll post a link on this site. In the meantime don't use this map for serious navigation - you'll only end up in a bog or falling off a cliff.
