The walk was created by local author Paul Brown. Starting in Leeds the route follows many existing sections of long distance footpaths and linking them with lesser known paths. It is a walk where you need to be alert to the map reading challenges of lesser used paths and the exposure of the high moors.

Continue east through attractive villages to the brewery town of Tadcaster and join the Ebor Way towards York.
