Summary
The Yorkshire Dales Centurion Walk is described as an adventure walk around the Yorkshire Dales and Howgill Fells, which may be split into short or long distances. No formal narrative route description is provided; instead, it relies on a set of grid references and waypoint names.
The framework consists of five stages, each with a designated starting point, leaving the individual walker free to choose which features to visit and which to avoid. Route options include ascents of Whernside, Ingleborough, and Pen-y-ghent (the ‘Yorkshire Three Peaks’), alongside The Calf, Nine Standards Rigg, Tan Hill, Buckden Pike, Great Whernside, and Plover Hill. A completion logbook may be signed at the Pen-y-ghent Cafe, where commemorative badges can also be obtained. (Source: LDWA)
