The Dales Way was our first attempt at walking a long distance route. Neither of us could afford to take a week off work to complete the route, so we decided to tackle it in manageable day walks.
Each section has its own description and was tailored to suit our combined walking abilities. Our greatest complication was getting back to the car at the beginning of each walk. We dealt with this by utilising 2 cars, one parked at the start and one at the end. Inevitably this involved more complex logistics.
As we both have our own views on each section we have constructed a ‘his’ and ‘hers’ walk description. In the vaguest sense we actually agree that we did, in fact, walk the same section together, though you may not think so after reading our disparate notes.
