Fellsman Hike :: SD6972

The Fellsman is a 61-mile route across the moors of the Yorkshire limestone country from Ingleton to Threshfield in Wharfedale. Competitors (walking or running) must visit 21 checkpoints, some of which have cut-off times, and refreshment is provided at feeding stations. The first event was held in 1962 and has continued annually apart from cancellation in 2001 due to the foot-and-mouth outbreak.
