Overview Join us for a challenge hike along the Leeds–Liverpool canal — we'll meet just before sunrise and see how far we can get before the sun goes down. At a normal walking pace (no speed-hiking), I'm estimating around the 25 mile mark. A celebratory drink and food at the end to round off the day. Bail-out points along the way (for anyone needing to peel off early, or just to track progress): Bingley — 15 miles Riddlesden (Keighley) — 19 miles Steeton (Silsden) — 22 miles Cononley — 25 miles Skipton — 30 miles Gargrave — 35 miles Disclaimers The walk organisers do not have training or insurance.

Trainers are only recommended for leisurely and easy walks. Bring a coat just in case (this is Britain after all...) and extra layers if it is going to be cold.
