The Fellsman
The Fellsman is a point-to-point traverse in the Yorkshire Dales organised by Keighley Scout Service Network on 25 and 26 April 2026. The route runs from Ingleton to Threshfield, covers around 60 miles and ascends more than 11,000 feet. The course is serviced by 25 hilltop and roadside checkpoints. The event has been held since 1962 and is staffed entirely by volunteers.
The event fee is £100 and includes hot food and refreshments around the route, transport for retirals from checkpoints back to the finish, accommodation facilities at the start and finish, car parking at the finish, a hot meal on return, hire of live tracking equipment, a PDF event handbook, a Fellsman tally and a commemorative item. A stringent kit list, live tracking and cut-offs are in place for safety.
The Fellsman Dart
The Fellsman Dart is a shorter, point-to-point event on the same fells on 25 and 26 April 2026. The route runs from Redshaw to Threshfield, is just over 30 miles (about 48+ km), and climbs over 4,200 feet. It is serviced by 13 hilltop and roadside checkpoints. There is a maximum field of 100 places, the entry fee is £65 and the minimum age is 18.
Both events test navigational skills as well as fitness. GPX files on GPS devices are acceptable, but entrants must carry a map and compass and know how to use them. Fully serviced checkpoints provide hot and cold food and facilities to cater for special dietary requirements. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
