Stepping out
Take suppers in your stride
A good trek deserves a decent feed, so pitstops are an important consideration when planning a route.
This new four-night break through the Cumbrian section of the Yorkshire Dales National Park makes the most of stays in two foodie haunts – the Black Swan in Ravenstonedale and The Black Bull in Sedbergh – both serving comforting pub fare in cosy surroundings.
Pump down enough calories to tackle a challenging ramble involving a climb up Wild Boar Fell (the fifth highest peak in the Yorkshire Dales), a visit to the ruins of Pendragon Castle at Mallerstang, and a riverside walk to cool down on the return stretch from Dent to Sedbergh.
