Tony and I left home in September 2007 to walk A Dales High Way for the very first time. We'd walked it all before of course - every single step had been gone over a hundred times. Paths had been selected, rejected, altered and rejigged but we'd finally got there. We took a week to walk the 90 miles from Saltaire to Appleby in lovely autumn sunshine and we returned in the wink of an eye on the Settle - Carlisle railway. That was 4 years ago. This year we decided to do it again but this time in reverse - from Appleby to Saltaire. We did it in three sections and we finished it last week - again in glorious sunshine. You can read my account of the trip at http://daleshighway.blogspot.com/2011/10/settle-to-saltaire.html

Just listened to you on "Ramblings" on BBC R4.
Excellent!
Thank you Alan - we recorded it a couple of weeks ago when the tail end of hurricane Karina was whipping around us. Pity it wasn't last week eh?
Chris, must look to purchase your guide. Looks a good route.
BTW - did your friend find on of those trail blaze signs ?
