Lots of people who have done the LWW with us a number of times requested that we list an alternative challenge walk in the area ….. so we have!
Though the White Rose Walk is shorter than the LWW it compensates for that with more elevation, lots more elevation!
The walk is a 35 mile, 56 km trail located in North Yorkshire which was devised in 1968 by the Yorkshire Wayfarers. It starts at the Kilburn White Horse and is completed by touching the trig point on Roseberry Topping.
The walk whilst being recognised by the Long Distance Walkers Association (LDWA), as a long distance walk in itself, merges and crosses with several other long distance paths including the Cleveland Way, The Coast to Coast and the Lyke Wake Walk.
The walk takes in the highest peaks in the area such as Live Moor, Carlton Moor, Sutton Bank, Cold Moor, the Wainstones and Clay Bank.
We meet at 0450 at Roseberry Topping carpark, transfer via minibus to the Whitehorse carpark and walk back to Roseberry Topping.
We will have a checkpoint at Square Corner 11 miles, and Clay Bank 22 miles.
The WRW is £75pp
