Cash management

With few opportunities along the Way to get hold of cash, it becomes vitally important to estimate your money requirements in advance; you cannot rely on all accommodation providers accepting credit and debit card payments. Along the Way there are banks and/or ATM machines in Ilkley, Grassington, Dent, Sedbergh, Kendal and Bowness-on-Windermere

A cheque book and banker’s card can usually be used to get cash from post offices, and there are post offices in Ilkley, Bolton Abbey, Grassington, Kettlewell, Buckden, Dent, Sedbergh, Kendal and Bowness-on-Windermere.

Equipment

All walkers have their own preferences in terms of equipment and clothing. When extending day-walking into multiple-day walking, much the same general items are needed, with the emphasis on being able to stay warm, dry (as much as possible) and comfortable in all weather conditions.

The following list may be found a useful reminder:

 rucksack (comfortable, well padded, appropriate to backpacking rather than day-walking, and preferably already used by you, if only on trial walks)
