The Settle Loop

USING THE ROUTE

The best time to complete the Trail is April to October when the weather is more favourable. However be prepared for anything from torrential rain to hot sunshine! The Trail is well signposted with easy to use gates. ● Take waterproof clothing for the worst weather but in hot weather protect yourself from the sun and carry plenty of water ● Carry a map, phone and some form of identification in case of emergencies ● Ride at a safe and controlled pace and pass other users with care ● Fasten any gates that you open ● Stay on the route, don’t contaminate water and take your litter home ● Horse riders should consider carrying a collapsible bucket for water and a protective Equiboot in case of lost shoes. ● Check website for under construction/news updates In an emergency, dial 999.
