A FAMOUS hike through the Yorkshire Dales organised by Keighley Scout Service Network will be held on Saturday, April 29.
The Fellsman, now in its 55th year, is a 61-mile trek attracting up to 500 people for a high-level traverse journey ascending 11,000 feet.
Scouts spokesman Chris Driver said the flagship event took a year of planning by a hard-working committee, covering issues such as checkpoints, catering, transport, accommodation and staff.
Chris said: “The fastest time currently stands at just over 10 hours whilst some will be taking up to 28 hours right through the night without sleep.”
