Out of Bainbridge in a southerly direction following A Pennine Journey to the northern tip of Semer Water. West uphill to Common Allotments then a horseshoe walk on Wether Fell. Downhill and north-east to the village of Burtersett, then continuing to the River Ure and following its banks back to Bainbridge. A 12-mile walk in the Yorkshire Dales.


The best map to use on this walk is the Ordnance Survey map of the Yorkshire Dales Northern & Central Area, reference OS Explorer OL30, scale 1:25,000. It clearly displays footpaths, rights of way, open access land and vegetation on the ground, making it ideal for walking, running and hiking. The map can be purchased from Amazon in either a standard, paper version or a weatherproof, laminated version, as shown below.
