NAV4 LAW75 Recce: Buckden to Mallerstang
| Entry Fee | £25.00 |
To enter you must first Log In or Register your Details with SiEntries.
Your chance to recce the middle third of the LAW75 route, from Buckdento Mallerstang, some 20 plus miles. Meet at Kirkby Stephen, minibus to Buckden and #wabjab back. What's not to like! Open to everyone, whether you are entered or not. It should also be possible to extend the recce to either drop you off at Kettlewell, or start at Buckden and aim for Kirkby Stephen and Winton, maybe?
This part of the route will be done by many people in the dark, but hopefully under a full moon. Overall, it's also the section which isn't served by public transport*, hence our desire to assist and facilitate your adventure. You'll have regular minibus support points, (meeting the needs of the majority) for food and drink supplies, or drop outs.
The route climbs steadily out of Wharfedale and over towards Nappa Hall and then onto Askrigg. Turning West up Wensleydale and on to Hardraw and Cotterdale. The most magnificent section of Lady Anne's High Road past the Andy Goldsworthy sculptures at the head of the Eden Valley, leads to the run down to Pendragon Castle is a delight.
Jump back in the bus here, if you've done enough or carry on to Kirkby Stephen, or even Winton. It all depends on how fast you move.
Minibus support throughout - drinks, nibbles if the wonderful Askrigg coffee shop isn't open -and the opportunity to do as much as you need or want to. Limited to 12 people, and hopefully there will be couple of our wonderful LAW75 Team leaders to keep you company.
Plentiful parking in Kirkby Stephen, which is easily accessible off the M6 via Tebay junction 38. Railway Station also at Kirkby Stephen (or Garsdale Head station pick up is also a possibility.)
*The first third, from Skipton to Buckden is basically up The Dales Way, and served by the local Dales Buses, especially on a weekend. Kirkby Stephen to Appleby is a short hop on the iconic Settle-to-Carlisle line. This is why we are promoting LAW75 as a doable, green and sustainable event.
