Rivers

Beside the Wharfe, near Cavendish Pavilion (Stage 1)

Occasionally reference is made to the true right or true left bank of a stream or river; ‘right’ or ‘left’ refers to the direction of flow. So, if you are walking up the left-hand side of a river, with the river flowing towards you, then you are walking on the true right bank. Turn to face the way the river is flowing, and you’ll get the drift.

Maps

This guide comes complete with its own 1:25,000 map booklet, and contains a separate 1:100,000 overview map, which is ideal for tracing the route.

Should you want to explore more widely, perhaps while taking a day off, OS covers the route with three Landranger maps: numbers 97 (Kendal and Morecambe); 98 (Wensleydale and Upper Wharfedale); and 104 (Leeds, Bradford and Harrogate). These are to a scale of 1:50,000.

To complete the Dales Way with OS Explorer maps, you will need numbers 297 (Lower Wharfedale and Washburn Valley); OL2 (Yorkshire Dales: Southern and Western areas); OL30 (Yorkshire Dales: Northern and Central areas); OL19 (Howgill Fells and Upper Eden Valley); and OL7 (The English Lakes (South-Eastern area)).
