This walk is about 8 miles, passing through the village of Gayle, then uphill to Wether Fell, then a couple of miles on the Cam High Road, then down to the village of Burtersett, and back to Hawes
Update as of 1/10/24, will now meet at 10.00, still outside the Board Inn as it is central and opposite the public toilets.
I was also wondering if any one would be interested in a meal after the walk, the Fountain Inn looks the best.

Hi Paul
gogoing4gold on 19/09/24 @ 6:49Perhaps we can share transport and I’ll bring the dog
I will be staying/camping at YHA Hawes on Saturday night, if anybody else is around.
BiBigfoot on 19/09/24 @ 17:40I'm considering this walk, I've had advice from the local pharmacist about painkillers for the osteoarthritis in my left and if this allows me to walk fairly pain free then I'll come on the walk
on 20/09/24 @ 7:47I've tried out the new painkillers and I should be able to do the walk OK.
on 20/09/24 @ 17:51I've booked into the CAMC site on the edge of Hawes for the Saturday and Sunday nights, so I'll be around for both nights.
Bigfoot: As you can see above I'll be around for the Saturday and Sunday nights, we can arrange to meet up nearer the time, cheers, John.
JohnH on 20/09/24 @ 17:52going4gold: Yes that's fine, i'v not driven up into the Dales all summer, just been using the train now i have a senior rail card, and of course the bus which is only £2.00.
on 20/09/24 @ 18:48It will be good to have a catch up, and will arrange time for leaving Bingley nearer the date.
JohnH: Glad you can make the walk, if you find yourself struggling you can always shorten the walk.
HHelvellyn40 on 20/09/24 @ 18:51Just hope the weather is better than when i did this walk last Sunday, low cloud and driving rain.
Helvellyn40: If I'm struggling I can always turn back and take my time on the way down. However, yesterday I tried out my new painkillers regime and had a very brisk hours walk round the town making sure I went up and down as many hills as possible and I didn't have any pain so 🤞and as you've said, let's hope that we get decent weather.
JohnH on 21/09/24 @ 6:58Helvellyn40: that’s good and perhaps we could bring the start time of the walk forward a bit if your not reliant on public transport as the nights are drawing in and a slightly early start with others staying on site could be good
gogoing4gold on 22/09/24 @ 13:05going4gold: Yes, an earlier start would suit me especially now that the nights are drawing in. I would prefer 10am rather than 11am.
on 22/09/24 @ 16:05Also, we could change the starting place to where you'll be parking your car. Let me look into visitor parking on the CAMC site as it may be free for the day.
on 22/09/24 @ 17:43Helvellyn40: I've just checked with CAMC at Hawes and you can park on my pitch for the day at no charge. And if you come a wee bit early I'll get the kettle on for tea or coffee and my prices are very reasonable 😂😂
JohnH on 24/09/24 @ 15:53Looks like a great walk but unfortunately I've other commitments that day. Hopefully next time. Have fun
Kurly Karl on 24/09/24 @ 19:51Another possible for me. I would come up in my camper Thurs/Fri and add some walks. I'd thought of the Station Inn as an overnight but could look and CMC too
SMSaltyMcSaltface on 25/09/24 @ 9:33going4gold: Just got back from Scotland today so a bit late in replying, yes a 10.00 start is fine by me, maybe we could have a meal after the walk.
HHelvellyn40 on 30/09/24 @ 17:51I will update the invite to 10.00, sometime tomorrow.
I could be up for a meal after the walk
JohnH on 01/10/24 @ 16:53Sorry I now have friends meeting up that day so unfortunately I can't come.
Wild Adventuress on 01/10/24 @ 18:06That all sounds good to me Paul. I’ll pick you up at 8.10 if that is ok
gogoing4gold on 01/10/24 @ 22:06The journey time is 1.5 hours but we will need time to park up etc . Any thoughts where we might eat ? It’s Sunday so lots of pubs finish serving after Sunday lunch
going4gold: I've checked with the site and you can park up on my pitch for the day with no charge and if there's time I'll put the kettle on. Let me know if you intend to do this as I'll need to let you in at the barrier
JohnH on 02/10/24 @ 8:23Yes please John
gogoing4gold on 03/10/24 @ 8:25I’ll pick up Paul at 8.00 from bingley so we should be there by 9.30-.9.40
8.00 Ok with you Paul ?
going4gold: That's good for me, just need some dry weather.
HHelvellyn40 on 03/10/24 @ 12:27I'll have the kettle on for 09:30 and I'll come out to the gate with my pass to let you in
JohnH on 03/10/24 @ 18:04👍
on 04/10/24 @ 8:14Any thoughts on a meal after Paul ie timings and whether we need to book a table for a group ?🤔
gogoing4gold on 04/10/24 @ 8:14I'm easy where we go for a meal, late afternoon or ealy evening in October, perhaps we may not need to book, but I'll leave that to Paul or whoever
JohnH on 04/10/24 @ 12:19JohnH: There are only 3 of us that have expressed an interest in a meal, so there should be no need to book, unless that changes.
HHelvellyn40 on 04/10/24 @ 12:42The Fountain would my first choice, there is also the chippie which has a restaurant, and do's more than fish.
Helvellyn40: great, as I've said, I'm easy as long as it's not tripe 😂😂
JohnH on 04/10/24 @ 19:49Look forward to this and seeing a few familiar faces again !
on 05/10/24 @ 20:32Look forward to this and seeing a few familiar faces again.
clclarely on 05/10/24 @ 20:33Is it ok with everyone if I bring my dog 🐕?
gogoing4gold on 06/10/24 @ 7:29I'm OK with well behaved dogs
on 07/10/24 @ 18:47Hi Clarely, it will be great to see you again, hope that you can make it OK
JohnH on 07/10/24 @ 18:48going4gold: Iam fine with dogs.
HHelvellyn40 on 08/10/24 @ 9:44JohnH: and you John ! Last seen on Aran..which was a fab week
on 08/10/24 @ 22:46See you Sunday

clclarely on 08/10/24 @ 22:47clarely: That's ok by me, i remember you bringing your sister on another walk a few years back, and was well behaved back then.
HHelvellyn40 on 09/10/24 @ 9:21Helvellyn40: 😁yes I remember that one
clclarely on 09/10/24 @ 13:57Thanks
