This volume of the Complete Dales Walker covers Upper Wharfedale, Malhamdale and the Three Peaks area centred round Pen-y-Ghent, Ingleborough and Whernside. The routes in this book have been taken from the author’s previous best-selling works on walking in this area. Their aim is to introduce the northern dales to the newcomer and to extend the knowledge of the region to the dales lover. Well-known paths are included, but one of the main objects is to disperse the pressures away from the crowded places to quieter ways. All the walks are circular and most of them are short, so this is also a book for those who are not quite as young as was once the case!

Colin Speakman has written numerous books on the Dales. He played a leading role in the creation of the Dales Way long-distance footpath and is joint secretary of the Yorkshire Dales Society.
