Heard of the Dales 30?
You've heard of the Yorkshire 3 Peaks but what about the Dales 30? Love to walk and tick places off your list? Jonathan Smith at Where2Walk is keen to show the beauty of the Dales' Hewitts: The Dales 30. They're all hills of at least 2000 feet, with a drop of 100 feet on all sides so you're certain of amazing vistas. Many are lesser-known routes so you'll have a wonderful 'King of the Castle' feeling when you reach the top. Here's the list - which do you already know?
1. Whernside
2. Ingleborough
3. Great Shunner Fell
4. High Seat
5. Wild Boar Fell
6. Great Whernside
7. Buckden Pike
8. Pen y Ghent
9. Great Coum
10. Swarth Fell
11. Plover Hill
12. Baugh Fell, Tarn Rigg Hill
13. The Calf
14. Lovely Seat
15. Calders
16. Great Knoutberry Hill
17. Rogan’s Seat
18. Dodd Fell Hill
19. Fountain’s Fell
20. Little Fell
21. Nine Standards Rigg
22. Simon Fell (Ingleborough)
23. Yockenthwaite Moor
24. Fell Head
25. Yarlside
26. Gragareth
27. Darnbrook Fell
28. Randygill Top
29. Drumaldrace (Wether Fell)
30. Birks Fell
Pen y Ghent, Whernside and Ingleborough are a great challenge but the Three-Peaks Rangers are constantly battling to deal with path erosion and on some days the Three Peaks are pretty busy, so if you're looking for a walking challenge, the Dales 30is a good alternative.
