Our Halloween night crossing sold out in weeks, so we've added one for New Year's Eve
The Lyke Wake Walk was created by Bill Cowley in 1955 and designed to cross the North Yorks Moors at its widest and highest points. The route runs between Scarth Wood Moor, Osmotherley and Ravenscar on the North Sea Coast. The 40 miles of beautiful moorland in the NYM National Park is one of the countries original ‘challenge’ walks. There's no set route the challenge is to walk from one marker to the opposite one in a maximum of 24 hours. Our route is just under 39 miles and groups generally take 15-18 hours to complete.
The crossing is going to be W-E, we will meet at Ravenscar mast at 19:30 and transfer to Cod Beck Osmotherley or meet at Cod Beck and transfer after the walk depending on what's easiest for walkers.
Who are we?
- Kathy and Den live in Stokesley, North Yorkshire within sight of the Cleveland Hills which form part of the Lyke Wake Walk. Kathy has led almost 70 crossings and is passionate about the North Yorks Moors and long distance walking in general. Den does the back up, following groups across the moors and is always a welcome sight at a checkpoint. We’re here to answer all your questions and make sure you are fully prepared for an unforgettable experience and that you complete your crossing safely.
- We will have one guide on this walk, the legend that is Len, and walkers will be capped at 9. Kathy will do the back up while looking after the bubbly and Christmas cake.
