Lyke Wake Walk - E-W (guided/supported)
The Lyke Wake Walk is a guided and supported crossing of the North York Moors that follows the traditional east-west route between Osmotherley and Ravenscar on the North Sea coast. The route covers just under 39 miles of moorland within the North York Moors National Park and is based on a challenge first created in 1955. Groups typically take 15 to 18 hours to complete the crossing.
This offering uses two guides so the group can be split by pace. Open group crossings have a maximum of 14 walkers and commonly contain 10 to 12 participants. Participants are transferred by minibus to the opposite end of the walk and then walk back along the route. Private group bookings are available.
The organiser provides logistical support during crossings, including water, sugar-based snacks, and blister plasters. Each crossing is accompanied by a WhatsApp group for pre-event communication, a full kit list, and a training schedule. Free guided training walks are offered on local moors, the coast, and the Dales. A small surprise gift is given at the end of the walk.
Entry for the listed date has an entry fee of £140 per person with a £70 non-refundable deposit; the remaining balance is due eight weeks before the event. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
