Whernside walk from the Ribblehead Viaduct (Full Walk)
Vložit
- čas přidán 13. 08. 2024
- This Whernside circular walk from the Ribblehead viaduct in the Yorkshire Dales initially passes by the Ribblehead viaduct and then follows close to the Settle to Carlisle railway tracks, before climbing to reach the summit of Whernside, which affords wonderful panoramic views out to the sea, and along the Lakeland Fells.
Whernside together with Pen-y-ghent and Ingleborough, are collectively known as the Yorkshire Three Peaks and the 3 peaks route joining them is over 24 miles long and includes 1500 meters of climbing. The descent is down to Bruntscar before heading along pleasant tracks and fields along the base of Whernside to pass back out through the Ribblehead Viaduct.
We've set out where you can eat and drink nearby after the walk at the end of the video.

WALKING BOOTS Unless very wet or winter walking, my preference is boots/shoes without ankle support - that's not for everyone though. Having used fell running shoes for many years, I prefer the lightweight feel.
INOV-8 Trailfly Ultra G300 Max: New to me in 2022, now the choice for 70%+ of my walks. Training shoe cushioning, but fellshoe grip and stability - getting many best in test awards.

Brilliant video.
I find this walk the best of the three.
I just completed Ingleborough today and found this the easiest out of the three.
Glad you enjoyed the video. I do find Whernside the easiest as well to walk out of the 3 Peaks....following the way shown, there are no steep stepped climbs as there are with the other two - for some reason I always feel as though I've not done as much climbing when I reach the top, and I do find the views from the top better than the other two.
Excellent video thanks for taking the time to make it, much appreciated 👍
I’m glad you enjoyed it 👍 Hopefully you find it helpful if you do the walk…
Covering the sped up full route is an excellent idea!
Really useful, well covered and narrated too 👌🏼
I’m glad you enjoyed and found it useful 👍
Hopefully, once this rain eventually stops, there’ll be a lot more coming this year…
@@walks4all subscribed so will no doubt see them 😁
Superb 👍 Just found your videos and find the format really informative. I enjoy being able to see the walk, what I’ll be letting myself in for, the scenery and ideas of where to eat after the walk - keep it up!
You’re welcome!
Great content, myself and my family did this walk but in reverse of what you did up the steep side first about 2 years ago
It was our first time and I was proud of myself as it was the first peek I had done .
It was our first time
Glad you enjoyed it and that was certainly a very good first peak to choose. I've rarely done it that way round as I quite like the extended view across to Ingleborough as you walk along the top, but doing it the way you did does save coming off down the steeper steps to Bruntscar. Hopefully you'll get to do Ingleborough and Pen-y-ghent if you haven't already...
Good video . Would love to see Cross Fell done your way .
Thanks Stephen. It’s on my list for this year…when the weather improves! But, I’ve a few more in the Dales and Lakes planned in before that one…
Excellent description. Although this route is pretty straight forward, it can be easy to get lost on some walks and other vidoes just gloss over the directions. I will be checking out some of your other videos.
Thanks 🙂 Yes, trying to show the whole route so that people can make a decision as to whether the walks are for them or not. I should be adding quite a few more in the Lakes and Dales over the next few months...
Great vid 👍, did whernside in low cloud with four hours of rain, it was a slog, at least I can now see what I would’ve seen 🤣👍
Thanks 👍 I do try to take the walks when there’s good visibility…but that has meant not too many filmed this year with all this rain! Glad you’ve finally seen what you’ve walked 🙂
Fantastic filming
Super informative
Hope to do this weekend
Have liked and subdued and will definitely be following you
Thanks ever so much.
Sorry spelling error subscribed
Thanks for the comments, always good to get some positive feedback 🙂 The weather is looking sunny, warm and clear for this weekend, so hope you enjoy…
Nice video pal, makes the route very easy to follow! Thanks very much!
Glad you liked it!
Good to see that Blea Moor signal box is being renovated. When I went by in June this year it looked in a sorry state. Thanks for posting this.
Yes - the paint on the outside has been getting flakier and flakier for quite a while! I went past a couple of days ago with workmen there, so something is currently happening. Hopefully they’ll do the same as they did at Garsdale a couple of years ago…
Great video...looking forward to trying this again in the Spring...and a pint in the Station Inn beer garden!
Glad you enjoyed it. The beer garden there does provide great views and some decent ales on the bar.
Great video and terrific idea to show the full walk. I've done the walk up Whernside a few times. Always amazes me how gentle the climb is to get up to such a height. A great intro walk for people and very accessible, even if the descent down the other side can be a bit treacherous if a little wet
Thanks David. It does seem to feel a bit like that, that you get great height gain from relatively little effort. Uploading my Ingleborough from Clapham walk later tonight, and whilst lower than Whernside, the climb up onto Little Ingleborough always feel a lot harder than Whernside climbs...
Great video mate, I’ve watched a few of your videos now very helpful thank you 👍
Thanks - glad you are enjoying them 👍 Hoping to be able to get back out to do more soon - broken toe stopped play at the moment!
That’s not good, have you or are you ever going to do a video of the wharfedale 3 peaks I’d love to do that walk but I’m scared of getting lost I can’t read maps, your videos are very good for directions, I’m autistic it’s hard for me to join walking groups, though I’m new to the Y3P after doing it with a group then again alone, I’m going to Gaping Gill and Trow Gill Gorge soon with the help of your videos and I can do Whernside circular without having to go on the road for the last part now thanks very helpful 👍
The Wharfedale 3 Peaks are on my list to do, but realistically it will be next summer. I've a few more in the Dales and Lancashire planned that I want to add next and then most of the winter will be ones in the Lakes. When I've done it though, I'll let you know...
We did this hike in May this year and the weather wasn't the great that day. Started out with a drizzle at Ribblehead but the further up we got rain and it become quite windy. Not an issue as we had the correct gear to cope with it all. At the top the mist had rolled in. Coming back down the path the sun eventually came out. Despite the weather it was a enjoyable walk.
That sounds like a typical Yorkshire day! It is a walk that offers great views when the visibility is there…
It's an idea to mention that there are Porta Loos at the back of the station inn, that are always open to the public.
Thanks - I’ll mention in a pinned comment. I did ask when I was there but they said they were only for people in the accommodation and those using the beer garden. I’m there again in a couple of weeks so will ask again…
@@walks4all yea I walked into the pub and they weren't best please with me using their toilets, so they sent me to the porta loos for next time.
I’ve not used them but are there not toilets at philpin farm ?
I'm not sure - I assume there is as it is a campsite, but just not sure whether they are open to the passing public. They may have one associated with their cafe when its open, but last few times I been past, the cafe was shut, so I just used their vending machine in the barn for a drink.
I just did this walk, directions were brilliant and easy to follow 👍🏼 look forward to attempting some of your others. Any plans to do a Wycoller/Trawden/Boulsworth loop? Similar length and a great walk
Glad you found them ok. Wycoller and Boulsworth are on my list to do, but the next few, when the sun comes back, will probably be up in the Lakes. I've never done all 3 as a loop so I'll have a look at that. Most of my Boulsworth walks have been from parking at Caldwell and my Wycoller ones have just been short loops up to the Atom...
Great video. Will you be posting the routes for the other 2 peaks?
Thanks - glad you enjoyed. Yes, Penyghent should hopefully be up by Monday night and one of the routes up Ingleborough in the next couple of weeks. Hopefully by the end of Spring, should have the whole 3 Peaks route up there as well...
@@walks4all that's great. Not done the 3 peaks for a couple of years. The descent for Whernside looks a lot better than how I remember it. Though it's my least favourite peak, the ascent seems to go on forever.
They've been continually improving quite a few of the 3 peaks paths in the last few years - far better now than it used to be...but they need to I guess to cope with the footfall...
