Lyke Wake Walk W to E guided and supported crossing
The Lyke Wake Walk was created in 1955 to cross the North York Moors at its widest and highest points. The route runs between Scarth Wood Moor near Osmotherley and Ravenscar on the North Sea coast, covering just under 39 miles of moorland inside the North York Moors National Park.
This offering is a guided and supported group crossing. Each crossing is led by two guides so the group can be split according to pace. Open group crossings have a maximum of 14 walkers and typically contain 10 to 12 participants. Groups usually complete the route in about 15 to 18 hours.
Support provided on crossings includes water, unlimited sugar based snacks and blister plasters, plus a small gift at the end of the walk. Organisers provide a full kit list, a training schedule and run free training walks on local terrain; a WhatsApp group is set up for each date to share training tips and group information. Private group bookings are available and bookings may be taken via more than one platform.
Entry costs are listed as £140 per person with a £70 non refundable deposit to secure a place and the balance due eight weeks before the crossing. The crossing is offered in both directions, W to E Osmotherley to Ravenscar and E to W Ravenscar to Osmotherley. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
