Overview

Area short walk. 

The walk centres on Cragg Vale to the south of Mytholmroyd.  There is a short but steep ascent of Daisy Bank before traversing to Hoo Hole.  Another short steep ascent takes us to Erringden Moor which leads to the boardwalk on the lower slopes of Bell House Moor. The route then descends into Cragg Vale. The return is along a valley path above Cragg Brook.
Distance 6 miles. Ascent 1200 ft.

The walks will invariably involve ascent and descent, some of which may be steep. They will usually, depending on the weather, be soft and/or muddy, sometimes with ill defined tracks across fields or moorland - ensure you have appropriate footwear. Please consider your personal fitness and ability before attending the walk - if you're not sure, feel free to contact us for advice on the potential conditions, whilst the leader will base the walk on their own ability and may issue instructions where appropriate, you are ultimately responsible for your own safety. Please wear appropriate clothing for the prevailing weather, plan for the worst and hope for the best, bring any essentials and lunch.
