30 EXCELLENT MOUNTAINS
The Dales 30
30 Excellent Mountains in the Yorkshire and Cumbrian Dales
Many people know about the Yorkshire 3 Peaks challenge, however there are so many more beautiful mountains in the Dales to enjoy. The Dales 30 offer a completely different sort of challenge. A more leisurely challenge, one that can be completed at one’s own pace, with it brings a full appreciation of the Dales. Similar to the Wainwrights in the Lake District, come and try the Dales 30.
