The Fellsman Dart

The Fellsman

The Fellsman is a point-to-point high-level traverse in the Yorkshire Dales, running from Ingleton to Threshfield. The route covers over 60 miles and climbs more than 11,000 feet. The course crosses remote, rugged fells and moorland and is serviced by 25 hilltop and roadside checkpoints. The event is organised by Keighley Scout Service Network and is staffed entirely by volunteers. Entrants must carry a map and compass; GPX files on GPS devices are acceptable if a map and compass are also carried. A stringent kit list, live tracking and cut-offs are in place for safety.
