This walk is one that I have led a few times now for the hardier souls in Southport Ramblers and one which my friends have found very enjoyable. It is a lengthy undertaking which can be done in either direction, although I favour the way I describe it, from west to east, since the wind tends to be at your back this way.

It is a complex route, hence the large number of waymarks, but it is very satisfying, with a number of not too strenuous climbs and some beautiful landscapes, with views of the Lakeland fells stretched out to the north and of some of the Yorkshire Dales favourites close at hand.
