Ski Club of Manchester, May Walks 2026


Walk 2 alternative, Sunday 10th May.

Leader: Elizabeth Moore

Starting at the Boot Inn, the route goes west along the valley by the River Esk to Eskdale Green, and then heads north into the 'secret valley' of Miterdale. It turns uphill onto Miterdale Moss, passing Siney Tarn and Blea Tarn, returning from the north down to Boot.

7.6 miles / 12.2 km with 948 ft / 289 m of ascent; about four to five hours' walking plus breaks.

Meeting time is 10:00 to start walking at 10:15

The route starts from the The Boot Inn, grid reference NY1762701039, what3words: unlocking.lays.lies. There is parking at the Boot Inn, or paid parking at Dalegarth station just down the road.

You'll need to bring a packed lunch, snacks and drinks sufficient for the day. The ground is likely to be rough and probably wet, so be prepared. Both are solid walks but hopefully less strenuous than Dave's walks, and there are possibilities for shortening the routes if necessary.

If you intend to join the walk please advise Elizabeth Moore by Friday 1st May by email.
