Settle
'Follows the line of the railway from Settle to Kirkby Stephen. As the name suggests, it takes in six peaks: Pen-y-ghent, Ingleborough, Whernside, Great Knoutberry, Swarth Fell and Wild Boar Fell (in mountain-bagging parlance, all six are Nuttalls and Hewitts, and all but Swarth Fell are Marilyns).'

'This is a challenging route, with a total ascent of 3046 m involved, so good clear weather is essential. Settle and Kirkby Stephen both make great bases for such a long distance walk, with Settle giving easier access to the railway. You can use the train to get to and back from each stage, or stay over at pubs along the way.'
