The Yorkshire Three Peaks Itinerary - Outline for Bespoke Trips
THE YORKSHIRE THREE PEAKS ITINERARY - OUTLINE FOR BESPOKE TRIPS Located roughly in the centre of Northern England is a beautiful area of valleys and hills. These hills are fairly rugged, with steep sides, exposed cliff edges and several peaks over 600m. Added to the natural beauty of this national park are age-old human influences, with remains of ancient settlements, scenic farms and villages, field-barns and classic limestone walls. We take the challenge of climbing 3 of these peaks, covering 24 miles in one day. DAY 1 ARRIVE YORKSHIRE We all meet at our accommodation, have a welcome meal in a local pub and a briefing about the day ahead. DAY 2 THE CHALLENGE! 8-10 HRS TREKKING We start with an early breakfast before making our way to the trailhead. From Horton-in- Ribblesdale we head towards our first peak of Pen-y-ghent (691m), trekking through valley’s, crossing streams and farmland, and finally taking the path that winds it’s way up to the summit. Back in the valley of fields and farmland we stop for a break, before the approach of the second peak, Whernside. Following the great Settle to Carlisle railway line and viaduct, we progress to the dizzy height of 728m and our second summit. From here it is a steep descent to our final target through boggy sections, across steps of board and stone to help our crossing. Our climb up to the pathless Ingleborough summit plateau (723m) brings us to the final summit. We can now descend back down into the valley and heading home to Horton, where we eat heartily, drink a little and sleep extremely well. -

Time Please! 'Lost' Inns, Pubs and Alehouses of the Yorkshire Dales
Time Please! ‘Lost’ Inns, Pubs and Alehouses of the Yorkshire Dales 1. Recognisances and Records of Victuallers and Alehouse Keepers From 1551 the law required registers to be kept by Quarter Sessions across the country, organised according to wapentake (a now obsolete administrative unit). The records included the name of the innholder or alehouse keeper, the township in which he or she operated, the amount of penalty he or she would be liable to for any infringement of the law, and the name and place of residence of whoever was standing surety for the licensee’s ‘good behaviour’. In most cases the name of the inn or alehouse was not included. An Act of 1822 (3 George II cap. 31) amended earlier legislation and for most, but not all, townships, the name of the licensed premises was included in the registers. The Alehouse Act 1828 abolished sureties and recognisances. An example of how 1828 legislation was applied is provided for the Kings Arms in Bentham with William Turner the licensee liable for £30 and James Burton who stood surety of £20 for Turner (West Riding QE32/75, 15 September 1828). It reads: West Riding of Yorkshire; at a general meeting of His Majesty’s Justices of the Peace acting in and for the Division of Ewcross, in the said West Riding of Yorkshire held at Ingleton in the Division and Riding aforesaid on Friday 5th September 1828. William Turner being the tenant and occupier of a house known by the sign of the Kings Arms in the township of Bentham in the said Division and Riding, victualler, acknowledges himself to -
