Overview

Route; Highfield Lane, Biggin Dale, Dove Dale, Alstonefield, Greenhills Cottage, Narrowdale, Beresford Dale, Morson Wood. 

There is one steep ascent out of Dove Dale. The bottom of Biggin Dale was flooded on the recce three weeks ago but I did manage to find an alternative if necessary.

Please bring food and drink for break and lunch stops. Please bring ICE cards.
