Overview

We leave Thixendale on the Wold’s Way heading towards Cow Wold. Two climbs and a descent later (all that turkey….) we turn right remaining on the Wold’s Way. We leave this to take a back route down and then up to Paradise Cottages. A short road walk to Brubber Dale and thence to Thixen Dale taking us back to Thixendale. 11.2 miles and 1250 ft of ascent by the OS map app. Some Turkey and wine worked off your constitution!
