Yorkshire & The Dales
God’s Own County
The Yorkshire Dales National Park and Yorkshire itself is a beautiful place, hence the name ‘God’s own country. The history and landscape allures people from all around the world and has a bit of everything for everyone. I have always lived on the edge of the Dales, and visited regularly ever since I was a young lad. However, I never truly appreciated the area until in my late 20’s where I began to cycle and hike/walk more regularly. I found my hunger and curiosity grew the more I visited, immersing myself in the landscape.
Below you will find the hikes/walks that have ratings of difficulty and contain mainly my own stories, routes, GPX files and, photographs. Some longer than others. I hope others can enjoy their own Yorkshire adventure like me.

Baugh Fell, Tarn Rigg
The highest summit of the very extensive Baugh Fell, known as Tarn Rigg Hill - and is quite featureless. Rarely visited, it’s a fell that I won’t be visiting in any hurry. I spent most of the day navigating my way over pathless moorlands, which seemed the take forever! However, the views over Sedbergh and the Howgills are fantastic and very rewarding - especially from Knoutberry Haw.
