Summary:
The Centurion Walk is an adventurous 100 mile route around the Yorkshire Dales and Howgill Fells. The original design of the walk was one of five stages, each with a starting point and while the choice of definite route was left to the individual walker of what to visit and what to avoid there is an indicitive route to follow (see GPX file). Route options include ascents of Whernside, Ingleborough and Pen-y-ghent - the 'Yorkshire Three Peaks' - along with many more high places of Yorkshire and Cumbria including the Coum, the Calf, Nine Standards Rigg, Tan Hill, Buckden Pike, Great Whernside and Plover Hill.
