The Fellsman and The Fellsman Dart
The events take place on Saturday 25 and Sunday 26 April 2026 in the Yorkshire Dales. Both are point-to-point traverses over remote, rugged fells and moorland, organised by Keighley Scout Service Network and staffed by volunteers, many from Scouting. The Fellsman runs from Ingleton to Threshfield and the Fellsman Dart covers a shorter section finishing at Threshfield.
Distances and climbs:
- The Fellsman: 60+ miles / 100+ km, climbing over 11,000 feet.
- The Fellsman Dart: 30+ miles / 48+ km, climbing over 4,200 feet.
Each route is serviced by roadside and hilltop checkpoints.
