An imposing and pathless peak situated in the eastern Howgill Fells, the challenge of the reaching the summit of Yarlside is far surpassed by the sense of achievement at reaching the top.

No relation to the more famous summit which heads up the Yorkshire Three Peaks, Great Whernside is still one of the Yorkshire Dales’ highest summits.

Meugher’s charm lies in its remoteness. On days where the honey pots of the Dales can turn a hike into a procession, you’re likely to see very few - if any - pilgrims to this oddity, which lies close to England’s furtherst location from a public road.

Wild Boar Fell is the 4th highest trig point in the Yorkhire Dales. Despite this, it’s also one of the lesser-known ones, so relatively quiet, but is a dramatic sight and a real treat to anyone who ventures out this far.

A GPS tracker made for walkers, built on Ordanance Survey’s legendary Explorer and Landranger maps. A sure thing for any walker’s rucksack?

The highest peak in the Yorkshire Dales, and one of the three summits that make up the Yorkshire Three Peaks. Although the least recognisable, the unique weather conditions at Ribblehead make for some dramatic scenery.

A fantastic walk starting in my favourite Lake District valley, taking in the highest mountain in England, plus two of its cousins along the way.

One of my favourite places in the Dales - at the head of the famously accessible Wharfedale, this walk is far from the usual hustle and bustle, at the top of the beautiful dale.

A lighter alternative to microspikes, but is there a case for them and do they hold up?
