David & Heather Pitt, who re-created Alfred Wainwright`s famous 1938 ` Pennine Journey`, with maps by Ron Scholes & illustrations by Colin Bywater, here describe a new 76-mile long-distance walk from Kirkby Stephen to Settle. This pictorial guide follows a route through this picturesque &, in parts, demanding area of Cumbria & North Yorkshire
- with a short diversion into Lancashire. It can be used in conjunction with Wainwright`s Walks in Limestone Country & Walks in the Howgill Fells. The route has strong associations with railways. It passes over the spectacular Smardale Gill viaduct, & close to the Stainmore Railway, the disused Ingleton & Tebay Railway, & the Settle-Carlisle railway.
