Walk Information

The Lyke Wake Walk is a complete crossing of the North Yorkshire Moors along their main east-west watershed between the Stone at grid reference 470994 and the Trig point at 971012, a distance of approximately 40 miles.

For people considering completing the Lyke Wake Walk, essential reading is The Lyke Wake Walk Guide by Brian Smailes, and available direct from Challenge Publications www.chall-pub.co.uk or via the Lyke Wake Walk website, www.lykewake.org This contains helpful hints on the equipment needed and the best preparation for attempting the Walk. The route is described in detail, with full colour maps and photos. However, the moors are a living landscape, and any guide book, even this one, will go out of date almost as soon as it is published. Lyke Wake Walk website has an extra web page describing the latest route changes, designed to be printed out as a single-sheet supplement the Guide at this page.

Mobile Digital Mapping
Digital maps can be viewed on most modern smartphones using an appropriate app, downloaded from the app store associated with your device. Brigantes recommend that whichever app you use, it should support Ordnance Survey 1:25k or 1:50k scale maps. There are many apps to choose from, but the two main providers are Ordnance Survey and Memory Map.

Each provider’s app has its own benefits, but both provide all-important offline navigation, meaning your device does not need a mobile signal to work effectively on the trail.
