Lyke Wake Walk - E-W (guided/supported)

Immerse yourself in the rugged beauty of North Yorkshire's Moors with the Lyke Wake Walk, an enduring challenge that has captivated outdoor enthusiasts since its inception by Bill Cowley in 1955. Spanning nearly 39 miles from Osmotherley to Ravenscar on the North Sea coast or vice versa, this walk takes you through some of England's most breathtaking terrain.
The route winds across the widest and highest points of the North York Moors National Park, offering panoramic views and a true test of endurance. Participants start at 4:00 AM from either end and are shuttled to the opposite starting point by minibus before setting off on their journey back. The challenge lies in completing this grueling course within an impressive timeframe of just 15 to 18 hours, traversing through scenic moorland that changes dramatically with each season.
