Overview

We set off from the car park in Silsden and walk through a residential area until we find a path taking us into woodland. We follow a stream, which we cross on some stepping stones and climb over  style into a field. From here we make our way over a number of fields/moorland occassionally crossing and briefly using quiet roads. When we reach a newly converted farm, approximately 1 mile from Draughton we follow the farm entrance drive up to the road. Here we'll walk along the road for half a mile before picking up the track taking us down into Addingham. Before going into the village, we turn right for a short walk down to the roundabout where we walk a little way along Silsden road, which we cross onto a lane. A style off the lane takes us into a field. Once again, we will cross a number of fields before we eventually drop back down into Silsden.
