FRIENDS of the Settle-Carlisle Line have planned three walks for the coming week.

There will be a 12-mile strenuous walk from Settle to Horton-in-Ribblesdale on Saturday, leaving Settle Station at 9.50am.

Also on Saturday, there will be a moderate 11.5-mile circular walk from Appleby, taking in Great Ormside and Sandford. It will leave Appleby Station at 10.06am.

There will a 9.5-mile very strenuous walk around the Howgills and Cautley Spout area on Sunday. This leaves Dent at 10.16am and relies on a connection with the service bus to and from Sedbergh.

No reservation is needed for these walks but participants should ensure they are appropriately clothed, carry a packed lunch, where required, and have suitable footwear.
