The Fellsman Dart

The Fellsman

The Fellsman is a point-to-point traverse across the Yorkshire Dales from Ingleton to Threshfield, held on Saturday 25th to Sunday 26th April 2026. The route covers 60+ miles (100+ km) and climbs over 11,000 feet, and is serviced by 25 hilltop and roadside checkpoints. The event is organised by Keighley Scout Service Network and staffed entirely by volunteers. Minimum entry age is 18 and the entry fee is £100.

Entrants must navigate remote, rugged moorland using map and compass; GPX files on GPS devices are permitted only if a map and compass are also carried. The event uses live tracking, cut-offs and a stringent kit list. Checkpoints provide hot and cold food and beverages, and the entry fee includes transport for retirees back to the finish, accommodation facilities, car parking at the finish, a hot meal on return, hire of live tracking equipment, an event handbook pdf, a route tally and a commemorative item.
