For more information see the Useful websites section below. Sunday service to Hellifield From Sunday 18 September, a service will link Blackpool North and Preston with Hellifield via Blackburn and the Ribble Valley Line. At Hellifield the service will connect with the train to Carlisle from Leeds and in the afternoon there will be a connection back to Lancashire. The service will run every Sunday through to the beginning of the 2017 DalesRail season thus enabling walkers and others to access stations on the Settle – Carlisle Line. For full details of this service visit: www.ribblevalleyrambler.wordpress.com East Lancashire Community Rail Walks The Preston – Colne and Clitheroe – Bolton railway lines give access to some excellent walking country and Lancashire Rail Ramblers provide a regular programme of guided walks from stations along these two lines on behalf of the Community Rail Partnerships. The walks are of varying length to suit all capabilities. There are usually three walks on different days each month. Why not take the opportunity to explore your local countryside. You might be surprised by the scenic and historic delights that can be discovered there. Programmes giving details of the dates and walks can be obtained from DalesRail train stewards, manned stations or by visiting www.communityraillancashire.co.uk Rail Ramblers Lancashire Rail Ramblers also provide their own regular programme of guided walks on Saturdays throughout the year from Stations across the North West of England and Peak District.

Engineering works Engineering works are taking place to repair the landslip north of Armathwaite. Trains are running to Appleby but some guided walks may be changed or cancelled at short notice. Please visit www.dalesrail.com for the latest information. Mapping Information All the walks on this programme are planned by members of the Lancashire Rail Ramblers Committee and make use of the following Ordnance Survey Explorer Maps: OL2 Yorkshire Dales South & West OL31 North Pennines OL5 The English Lakes North Eastern Area OL41 Forest of Bowland & Ribblesdale OL7 The English Lakes South Eastern Area OL43 Hadrian’s Wall OL19 Howgill Fells & Upper Eden Valley 315 Carlisle OL30 Yorkshire Dales North Guided Walks An extensive programme of guided walks with experienced guides provides a great opportunity to see the best of the Yorkshire Dales, the Eden Valley and the western side of the Northern Pennines. You are most welcome to join any of these guided walks. At all times, safety is your own responsibility. The guides reserve the right to vary walks dependent upon the weather conditions and the capabilities of the walking parties. The walks are arranged by “Lancashire Rail Ramblers” (Visit www.railramblers.wordpress.com) and are led by volunteers from the Ramblers Association. Each walk is graded: choose to suit yourself. Should you have any doubts about your capabilities on the hills, avoid “strenuous” graded walks. Grades of walks ‘A’ Walks – Very Strenuous: These walks may be rough, steep or lengthy and against the clock – only for experienced and fit fell and mountain walkers. ‘B’ Walks - Strenuous: These walks may be rough, steep or lengthy and always against the clock – only for experienced and fit fell and mountain walkers – A and B walks. ‘C’ Walks - Moderately strenuous: Walks suitable for the experienced energetic walker, often at high level and over rough ground. These are the C graded walks. ‘D’ Walks - Moderate: A countryside walk for the average regular rambler. These walks may contain some climbing and ridge walking, but generally no scrambling. ‘E’ Walks - Moderately easy: A generally easy walk which may include some short rather steep inclines. ‘F’ Walks - Easy: A slower paced walk than for “Moderately Easy” walks and with short periods of rest. ‘G’ Walks - Easy stroll: Suitable for those not accustomed to walking in the countryside. Within D and E walks are some guided walks shown as “Climb a peak slowly” where the grades are up to one grade higher than normal, but the length is shorter and the speed of the walk is slower – but you can climb to the highest peaks in the area and feel that extra pleasure of the experience. Many of the lower graded walks are themed as “Flower Walks” or “History Walks” and “Map Reading Walks” – all are very popular. For all walks you should have strong comfortable non-slip footwear, warm outdoor clothing and outer wind and waterproofs if the weather warrants it. On most walks, stops are made, often in the countryside, for lunch and tea, so remember to bring your own food, snacks and a drink, especially when it is hot. Where a coach journey is required on part of the walk (described in the walk details), an additional fare will be payable. Details of the walks available each Sunday may be found on the internet at www. dalesrail.com or further detailed information may be had from walks leaders on the Lancashire DalesRail trains.

These combine with shallow soil cover, shakeholes, potholes and caves to form classic karst landscape. • Panoramic views across the southern dales and southern dales fringes. In the western part of the area views are dominated by the Three Peaks landforms of Ingleborough, Whernside and Pen-y-ghent. Vertical limestone • Closely grazed, springy, flower-rich grasslands form a neat, bright green carpet between exposed rock features. cliffs at Kilnsey • Scattered trees or open, grazed woodland on scree slopes and cliffs, with occasional windblown trees or shrubs in Crag, Wharfedale ... cliffs and pavements at higher levels. Several large, semi-natural, undergrazed woodlands occur on the dale sides and a few, small, isolated plantations at higher elevations. • A general absence of streams and surface water features, with the exception of occasional small tarns and limited numbers of springs at the base of the limestone moors, mainly around Ingleborough.

  • Dent to Aye Gill Pike This Rewarding Walk Has Spectacular Views of the Howgill Fells (Below), the Three Peaks of Yorkshire, and Dentdale
    Dent to Aye Gill Pike This rewarding walk has spectacular views of the Howgill Fells (below), the Three Peaks of Yorkshire, and Dentdale. Start: Dent car park (GPS: SD 703 871) Distance: 10.5km (6.5 miles) Highest point: 556m (Aye Gill Pike summit) Time: Allow 3 to 4 hours Grade: Difficult Notes: This route has sections with no obvious path, so a map and navigational skills are required. There are short sections on quiet roads where care should be taken, and the route can be boggy in places. There are toilets, a village shop, café and pubs in Dent. Other options: For a more challenging experience, follow this route in the opposite direction, beginning with the very steep climb up to Aye Gill Pike. 1. (GPS: SD 704 870) Turn left out of the car park and walk through the cobbled village centre. Leave the village on this road and pick up the riverside path for the Dales Way on your left, just before the river Dee. Follow this path until you reach the tarmac road. 2. (GPS: SD 700 873) Turn right along the road and pick up the Dales Way again on your right, continuing along the river to the road at Barth Bridge. 3. (GPS: SD 694 878) At the road turn right. Walk along here for a short distance (approx 150m) and turn up the small tarmac lane on your right. Continue along this quiet lane for approximately 1km, until reaching Lunds Farm. 4. (GPS: SD 694 887) At the entrance to Lunds Farm turn left and continue through the cobbled yard.

  • Consett & Vale of Derwent Naturalists' Field Club Wild Boar Fell 29Th
    Consett & Vale of Derwent Naturalists’ Field Club Wild Boar Fell 29 th March 2014 Map :- Explorer OL19 ‘A’ Walk Leader :- Cyril Wilson assisted by Lewis Pilbrough Wild Boar Fell takes its name from the fact that wild boar used to roam in the valley. Tradition has it that the last boar was killed here in the 16th century. The walk up onto Wild Boar Fell began at Aisgill Farm ( SD773969 ) on the B6259 south of Kirkby Stephen. The path led west up under a viaduct of the Carlisle- Settle Railway, (built in 1876) and then north beside a wall onto Angerholme Wold. The area was dotted with fenced sink holes scattered across the limestone pavement We made a brief stop here among the limestone humps before continuing up the oblique path on Yoadcomb Hill to High Dolphinsty. Here we turned south along Scriddles ridge to the Nab with its view north-east across the valley to distant High Seat. The escarpment edge we were climbing along was of impermeable millstone grit. Sue and I ran up the slope in an effort to be first to the top. When we reached a cairn we realised we had not arrived at Wild Boar Fell; the trig point was further on. Moving across the marshy ground Sue beat me to the point. We all had our lunch round the shelter between 1300hrs and 1315hrs. Brian looked as if he was going to be blown away in the very strong wind. Wild Boar Fell at 2336ft asl. is at map ref. SD758988. We had covered 3.09 miles by then; most of it uphill and at times in mist.
