Like Munro bagging, orienteering and fell running, long distance walking has become a distinct branch of the outdoor scene with an ever increasing following of enthusiasts. This 96 page guide brings under one cover the enormous variety of long distance walks which now traverse the area. Nearly sixty routes are included, divided into three main catagories:

Challenges - walks of over twenty miles for which badges and certificates are awarded. Fourteen alternatives to the Lyke Wake Walk are listed showing key information, a route summary and a map.
Events - a calender of fifteen annually organised walks listing entry details and checkpoints.
Paths - an information directory to the network of nearly thirty named long distance and recreational paths for which guides are produced. The book incorporates photographs, locations maps, badge illustration, sketches plus a section of general notes on organisations, equipment, food and points of interest.
