The White Rose Challenge Walk is a 35 mile, 56km trail located in North Yorkshire which was devised in 1968 by the Yorkshire Wayfarers. It starts at the Kilburn White Horse and is completed by touching the trig point on top of Roseberry Topping.

The Walk whilst being recognised by the Long Distance Walkers Association (LDWA), as a long distance walk in itself, merges and crosses with several other long distance paths including The Cleveland Way, The Coast to Coast and the Lyke Wake Walk.

The route takes in the highest peaks in the area such as Live Moor, Carlton Moor, Sutton Bank, Cold Moor, the Wainstones and Urra Moor.

The walk takes in not only stunning scenery but also takes the walker through part of Yorkshire's history passing Bronze Age burial mounds and Hambleton Drove Road where cattle were taken to market in Yorkshire by Scottish and Northumbrian drovers.

We meet at 0450 at Roseberry Topping carpark, transfer via minibus to the White Horse carpark Kilburn and walk back to our cars.

We will have a check point at Square Corner, 11miles and Clay Bank, 22 miles. 

Who are we?

• Kathy and Den live in Stokesley, North Yorkshire within sight of the Cleveland Hills which form part of the White Rose Walk, Kathy has led 49 (as at Dec 25) crossings of The Lyke Wake Walk and is passionate about the North Yorks Moors and long distance walking in general. Lots of people who've done the LWW with Kathy and Den requested a different challenge walk in the area which is why this is being offered.
