Overview

A classic Dales walk, during which we will have the option of bagging the summit of the iconic (if not titanic) Thorpe Cloud; winding our way through the busier section of Dovedale, before passing on to the quieter climes of Hall Dale, and returning via Castern and the Manifold to Ilam Hall
