Re: [Talk-GB] Yorkshire Dales or Forest of Bowland - unmapped areas?
Thanks everyone for the suggestions here. After some consideration I've decided to stay in Kettlewell, in Upper Wharfedale. This is accessible by bus from Skipton. It looks semi-complete but that might just be Mike's aerial/OOC work. I plan to be in the area from late Jan 1st to early afternoon Jan 4th... so would anyone be interested in doing some mapping on those days? Can't make the weekend unfortunately due to other commitments.

Re: [Talk-GB] Yorkshire Dales or Forest of Bowland - unmapped areas?
+0.5. I'm back at work by then, but might head over from Durham for the Saturday. Possibly even the Sunday. So I'm in favour of it being close to Durham by public transport. Or maybe I'll go and visit a friend on the West coast. My experience of West and South of Durham is quite bare mapping or armchair mapping(e.g. round Middlesborough). Occasionally you get a long line of paths where Mike has been years ago, or you get a pocket of intense data where I've been on a weekend retreat. Greg.

Re: [Talk-GB] Yorkshire Dales or Forest of Bowland - unmapped areas?
I'd recommend a bit further North - Weardale is one of my favourites at the moment (around Stanhope or Froserley). I'm pretty sure you can get a bus from Darlington or Bishop Auckland. There is still plenty to do - the Weardale Way is complete, but there are loads of footpaths branching off it that are just stubs, and a marked Mineral Valleys Walk which needs following. A nice mixture of scenery and industrial archaeology if you like that sort of thing!

[Talk-GB] Yorkshire Dales or Forest of Bowland - unmapped areas?
Hi, Am thinking of getting away for 2 or 3 days early in the new year (1st-4th Jan) to somewhere hilly in the north of England within easy reach (by train/bus) of the Manchester area I haven't been to very often before, which would mean the Dales or the Forest of Bowland. Anyone from that area familiar with any areas which have good scenery and haven't had much in the way of footpath mapping?
