There are few campsites along the Dales Way, but many farmers will consent to small parties pitching tents for a night. In the interests of maintaining good relations with farmers, please obtain permission first. Where there are known campsites, these are detailed in Appendix B.

Facilities en route

The ssss1 details the facilities along the route, but despite a long string of villages that are passed through, you will spend much time away from civilisation, where facilities are non-existent. Do not assume that remote villages are well endowed with shops and cafés that are necessarily open when you arrive, if they exist at all.

There are very few sections of the walk where it is possible to get lunch during the day, so it is vital that you start each day well prepared and stocked. Have a good breakfast, carry plenty of liquid and daytime food, and make the most of an evening meal.

Pack carrying services (baggage transfer)

A small number of companies offer pack carrying services that will collect your bags each morning and drop them at your next stop the same day. These companies are also more than happy to arrange accommodation for you along the entire route. Details are included in Appendix A.
