This gives you a brief overview of what the six dales is and who can take part About Us The Six Dales Walk is organised by North Leeds Scout District and is open to teams from across Scouting and Guiding, including adult teams. The event has been running for over 60 years and is supported by a full safety and support team, meaning special arrangements are in place and individual teams do not require their own hill walking permit holders. While the Six Dales Walk remains proudly rooted in tradition, we are also continuing to modernise the event to ensure it stays relevant, safe, and enjoyable for today’s participants. This includes the introduction of GPS tracking technology, allowing organisers to monitor team progress more effectively and improve overall event safety. It also means friends, family and supporters can follow teams live during the event, creating a more connected and engaging experience for everyone involved. A team walking challenge for those in Scouting and Guiding, crossing up to six of the Yorkshire Dales Junior Walk - for 10 to 14 year olds up to 23 miles Senior Walk - for 13 year olds and older, including adults, up to 42 miles The Six Dales Walk is an annual team walking and navigation challenge for those in Scouting or Guiding. It takes place on the last Sunday in September each year and has been run for over 60 years. There is a Junior Walk of up to 23 miles for those aged 10 to 14, who must be accompanied by an adult, and a Senior Walk of up to 42 miles for those aged 13 or older. The two walks follow the same route, but the Junior Walk finishes at roughly the halfway point of the Senior Walk. The walk helps to build teamwork and provides a real challenge with a true sense of achievement for those who manage to finish, or even reach further than they have in previous years (only 1 or 2 teams usually complete the Senior Walk each year). It is also a great opportunity to experience the Yorkshire Dales while developing navigation and outdoor skills. The event can also count towards the Scout Adventure, Teamwork & Team Leader Challenge Awards.

Both follow the same linear route, with the Junior Walk finishing at the 23 mile checkpoint, and the Senior Walk at the end of the 42 miles. Due to the safety cover put in place by the organisers Scout hillwalking permits are not required by teams entering the Six Dales. Please note these rules have been redrafted for this year, the most significant change is Tracking We use participant trackers supplied by Open Tracking to monitor progress and ensure accurate results during the Six Dales Walk. These devices help us manage the event safely and efficiently. By taking part in the event, you agree to wear and use the provided tracker as instructed and understand that the collected data will be used solely for event management, safety, and performance tracking. General Rules and Information For reasons of safety and fairness walkers must abide by the rules below. If these are not followed, the organisers can compulsorily retire walkers and/or teams from the walk and teams may, at the discretion of the organisers, be disqualified from any and all trophies. The organisers reserve the right to alter any arrangements on the day of the walk as deemed appropriate. 1. Teams must consist of between 4 and 7 walkers. Age requirements are shown in the Junior and Senior Rules below. 13 and 14 year olds can enter either walk, but not both. All ages are as on the day of the walk. 2. Times and distances for trophies are calculated to the furthest point where the team still meets the original team requirements i.e. at least 4 walkers remain in the team and any age requirements continue to be met. 3. There is no set route, however each checkpoint (see Route ) must be visited in order and teams should plan to stay on public footpaths and areas of open access land. 4. The equipment listed on Equipment , is compulsory for reasons of safety and fairness. There will be a kit check at the start checkpoint and walkers and/or teams that do not have the correct kit will not be allowed to start the walk. Further kit checks can and will be carried out at the discretion of the organisers to ensure this rule is complied with by all walkers and teams. 5. All members of the team aged 18 or over have completed a DBS disclosure in accordance with Scouting/Guiding requirements as appropriate. Where a team is made up of all 18s and over, then DBS disclosures are not required (e.g. a team of Scout Network members). 6. Teams will be allocated a start time by the organisers. Teams must report to the designated meeting point, NB NOT the first checkpoint, at least 15 minutes before their start time and wait to be called up to the first checkpoint by the organisers. Teams must not report directly to the first checkpoint without reporting to the organisers at the designated meeting point. 7. The winning team in each trophy category is the team of four or more that walks together the furthest in the shortest elapsed time, measured from when their team are recorded as leaving the start NOT the team to reach a checkpoint first. A team may only win one trophy other than the individual trophies in both Junior and Senior Walks 8. When not at checkpoints, walkers must stay within easy talking distance of the rest of their team, except in case of emergency. 9. Walkers can only retire from the walk at checkpoints, except in case of emergency. 10. In case of emergency or injury, walkers must follow the procedure set out on the Emergency Safety Card, see Section H below 11. Teams are given a Control Card for each walker at the start checkpoint, which must be handed at each Checkpoint to the Timekeeper on arrival and then collected when leaving. 12. Teams will not normally be allowed to continue from a checkpoint after the cut off times (see Section F below). In the interest of safety, the organisers can compulsorily retire walkers, including entire teams, between checkpoints, such walkers will be picked up by the organisers and transported or walked to a checkpoint. This can be done regardless of whether they are past the cut off time for the next checkpoint or not. 13. If a team has less than 4 walkers that have not retired from the walk, then they can not continue in the competition as a team. However at a checkpoint, with the agreement of the checkpoint marshal, walkers from such teams who want to carry on walking can combine with walkers from another team to form a walking group of between 4 and 7 walkers. In order to track that walking group during the rest of the event it will be given a new temporary team number but it is not a team in the competition. If at least 4 walkers from an original team continue together in the walking group then that original team continues to be eligible for the trophies. The organisers may ask teams or walkers to join together to form a new team as above. Teams can choose to refuse this, unless they will be the last team leaving the checkpoint. No credit time will be given to walkers who have to wait to join a reformed team. 14. Spare kit – At the designated meeting point, near the first checkpoint, walkers can hand in to the organisers spare kit (e.g. change of clothes and footwear) contained in a separate holdall or rucksack per walker (not a plastic bag or bin liner), which MUST have attached to it the provided luggage tag with their individual walker number. Any such spare kit will be transported by the organisers so that it is available to walkers, after retirement, at Kilnsey, Lofthouse, Grewelthorpe or West Tanfield checkpoints.

Risk Assessment that has been approved by the Six Dales Walk Committee and is reviewed yearly. Six Dales Walk Risk Assessment

This is where you can learn about the history of the six dales walk History The Six Dales Walking Competition, launched in 1957 to mark the Golden Jubilee of Scouting, coincided with the movement's centenary in 2008. Covering 42 miles across six North Yorkshire Dales, the walk begins in Settle, Ribblesdale, and ends in Pickhill, Swaledale, offering challenging terrain and scenic landscapes. Conceived by Ronnie Marshall, the Assistant District Commissioner for Senior Scouts in North West Leeds District, the walk emerged from a desire to provide Senior Scouts with a new challenge beyond the conventional Yorkshire Three Peaks route. The inaugural competition, titled 'The Jubilee Trail,' commenced on July 26th, 1957, with Barrie Walker from the 14th North-West Leeds Group emerging as the victor, completing 31 ½ miles within the 12-hour time limit. Over the years, participation surged. In 1958, despite sweltering conditions, three Senior Scouts completed the full 45 miles to Skipton-on-Swale in 11 hours and 50 minutes. Alan Boden set a record time of 9 hours and 23 minutes in 1964. However, following Ronnie Marshall's death in 1966, David Boulton assumed the role of organizer, implementing crucial changes to enhance safety and organization. Revised regulations mandated participants to adhere to stricter dress codes, particularly during moorland segments. Competitors formed teams, ensuring mutual support and safety. Additional checkpoints were established to streamline search operations in emergencies, with radio communication between checkpoints introduced for effective monitoring. Parental support enhanced logistical operations at checkpoints. Participants were required to wear appropriate fellwalking attire and carry essential equipment, including walking boots, long-sleeved shirts, trousers, spare clothing, waterproofs, headgear, gloves, and emergency provisions. Each team possessed collective equipment such as maps, compasses, survival gear, torches, and first aid kits. Teams consisted of a minimum of four members, walking together until the end of the moorland section, after which individual walking was permitted. However, from 1977 onwards, a minimum of two individuals had to remain together. Additional checkpoints at Henstone Band and West Tanfield mitigated risks and ensured participant safety. The checkpoint at West Tanfield facilitated safer river crossings, replacing precarious fording at North Stainley with the use of a bridge. In conclusion, the Six Dales Walking Competition, launched in 1957, epitomizes the spirit of adventure and camaraderie within the Scouting community. Evolving over the years, the competition has incorporated stringent safety measures and enhanced participant experiences while celebrating the ethos of exploration and perseverance cherished by Scouts worldwide.
