Lyke Wake Walk - W-E (guided/supported)
This is a guided and supported crossing of the Lyke Wake Walk across the North York Moors National Park. The route runs between Scarth Wood Moor near Osmotherley and Ravenscar on the North Sea coast and is designed to cross the moors at its widest and highest points. The organisers’ planned route is just under 39 miles across moorland. There is no set line on the moor; the traditional challenge is to walk from one marker to the opposite marker within a maximum of 24 hours. Groups typically take 15 to 18 hours to complete this route.
Open group crossings are limited to a maximum of 14 walkers, with typical groups of 10 to 12. Crossings are guided by qualified personnel who hold first aid training and insurance. Support includes checkpoints, water, sugar based snacks, blister plasters and a small gift at the finish. Guides provide a kit list and a training schedule and run free training walks on local moorland and coast paths. Crossings operate in both directions between Osmotherley and Ravenscar with participants transferred to the opposite end by minibus before the walk.
This specific date is listed as full and new entries will be placed on a waiting list. Entry terms include a non refundable deposit and a remaining balance due prior to the walk. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
