Sample Itineraries
Although the route divides naturally into 6 sections, you should not feel
that you have to fit your walk into 6 days. There are plenty of possible stop-overs
so plan your walk to suit your own pace.
You can take anything from 5 to 9 days and still complete A Dales High Way
in a single week - including 2 weekends.
Below is a sample of possible itineraries. Use the Accommodation
Guide to construct your own. The walk can also be done over a series of
weekends using public transport.
