The countryside changes, and as soon as a route has been
mapped and a guide produced, changes will occur. Here we will give details
of any changes along the way that have come to our attention. That may be
a new fence and stile, a changed sign, a path diversion or whatever. If
you come across any changes whilst walking A Dales High Way please email
us at the address at the foot of this page, giving as much detail as
possible and attach a photo if possible. Many thanks.
Most recent changes are shown at the top.

The main Bridleway that crosses Flasby Fell has been cleared and marked
with a line of blue-topped posts, to make it easier to follow in summer,
when it is liable to become overgrown with bracken. The alternative routes
above and below remain.

Route Guide: Page 28, Section 3, Map 13 "Crummack to Simon
Fell", Box 3. ( 9/3/10 )
The Access Column referred to, used to carry a sign forbidding vehicles
from venturing further. It is has now been removed
altogether! This is at the point where you climb up above Crummack to
reach the brow of the hill, when Ingleborough comes into full view. There
are no landmark features at this spot now, so care is needed with
navigation.
