Outtakes

Outtakes are the walks that didn't make it into the final book.

For licensing reasons, the maps here are much less detailed than those shown in the book. They do not include field boundaries (walls and fences), stiles and gates, other tracks and rights of way, or contours. 

You will therefore also need the appropriate OS map.

The layout is also slightly different - there are no instructions on the maps themselves, just numbered references to the accompanying text, and the scale varies.

The format is A4, two pages, PDF files. You will need Adobe Reader software to view them (though most modern browsers come with a version installed). Just click on the links to view and download.

We will be adding these walks over the coming months.


Nine Standards Rigg

Kirkby Stephen, 11.2 miles, Strenuous. (OS map: OL19).

A classic walk, but the straight up-and-down route didn't really fit with the book format and the return route was well covered by walk 17. The route is also covered by one of the Discover Eden Walk Booklets.

The Settle Loop

Settle, 10.1 miles, Strenuous. (OS map: OL2).

A fine airy walk, but it's really an extended version of Walk 1, and the return leg lacks the sustained interest of the outward leg. The route is also covered by one of the National Trail's Pennine Bridleway leaflets.

Long Preston, Langber Lane & Scaleber Force

Settle, 9.1 miles, Moderate. (OS map: OL2 or OL41).

A moderately easy walk, easy route finding, using ancient trade routes across the moors above Long Preston, with an alternative linear route from Hellifield to Settle. It was decided in the end to only include walks between Settle and Kirkby Stephen, so this was excluded.

Long Meg & Lacy's Caves

Lazonby & Kirkoswald, 9.9 miles, Moderate. (OS map: OL5).

There are some excellent walks in the Eden Valley north of Kirkby Stephen, this being one of them. However, they are more spread out, and so when it was decided to exclude walks north of Kirkby Stephen, this was left out. A variant of the route is also covered by one of the Discover Eden Walk Booklets.
