One of our all-time favourites, this walk starts from Ripley, heads north following the Nidderdale Way up to High Cayton then loops round towards Newton Hall before returning to Ripley. The walk is just under 5 miles, and takes about 2 hours. Conducted mostly in gear 2, the walk also offers some long stretches on an even surface to notch the pace up a gear!

Gear 1 - A nice, easy and natural pace that you can do for extended periods with recovery periods where appropriate. Short hills might be introduced.
