Overview

From the small car park, we walk down to the canal, along the tow path, crossing over to pick up lanes leading us into fields. We cross fields to a farm access road, which we follow past the farm through more fields and lanes to a plantation. Walking through here, we eventually come out onto the moors, where we'll stop for lunch at the Doubler Stones. We now make our way across the moor to Windgate Nick and Addingham Crag. After following the line of the crag past 3 walls, we turn to head up to West Buck Stones, where we cross a style and follow a path alongside another plantation. We eventually reach a road, which we cross and follow fields back down to Riddlesden
