12th September 2010 - Buckden Pike

Walk Details

​Distance walked: 7.8 miles

Total ascent: 1675 ft

OS map used: OL30 - Yorkshire Dales, Northern & Central areas

Time taken: 5 hrs

Route description: Buckden-Buckden Rake-Buckden Pike-Walden Road-Starbotton-Dales Way- Buckden

I started this walk from the National Park car park in Buckden and took the path through Rakes Wood to Buckden Rake and then up to the summit of Buckden Pike. I then walked south along the summit ridge to pick up Walden Road which I followed down to Starbotton. It was then a case of following the Dales Way back to Buckden.
