Lyke Wake Walk : guided and supported crossing
The Lyke Wake Walk crosses the North York Moors at its widest and highest points. The route runs between Scarth Wood Moor, Osmotherley and Ravenscar on the North Sea coast and is just under 39 miles long. The original challenge is to walk from one marker to the opposite one within a maximum of 24 hours; groups on these guided crossings generally take around 15 to 18 hours to complete.
This event is a guided and supported group crossing. Organisers operate with two guides so the group can be split by pace and a support vehicle provides checkpoints and backup across the moorland. Participants are transferred by minibus to one end of the route before walking back to the other end.
Open group crossings have a maximum of 14 walkers and typically run with 10 to 12 participants. The organisers provide a kit list, a training schedule, a WhatsApp group for each date, and offer free guided training walks on local moor, coast and dales routes. On the walk they supply water, sugar based snacks and blister plasters, and there is a small finishers gift.
Entry details: entries open 19 June 2026 and close 29 April 2027. Fee is £140 per person with a £70 non refundable deposit; the remaining balance is due eight weeks before the walk. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
