The police, fire service, ambulance or mountain rescue can be reached in an emergency by dialling 999 or 112. There are few mountain rescue teams operating in the regions covered by the Dales Way; the appropriate one can be contacted on the above emergency numbers.

Phones and Wi-Fi

Wi-Fi internet access is increasingly available in cafés, pubs and hotels throughout Britain, but it is by no means universally available, and may not always be available in B&Bs.

Mobile phone signals are restricted in coverage and often erratic – especially away from main urban centres, where you may not be able to get a signal at all. You can check your own service provider’s coverage on their website, but the reality is that you will not have a signal or connection along many of the open and remote stretches of the Way. Remarkably, signals from some distant transmitter can be picked up in the most unexpected locations.
