Starting in Mytholmroyd, 'The Hebden' is an annual challenge hike, with 15 or 22 miles options,. Organised by the Halifax Sea Scouts, it is described by them as being "a tough event with a substantial amount of climbing", "not suitable for beginners", and having "breath taking views". After a group of 14 tackled the route on our social I'm sure we all agreed with those sentiments. Sandy Gee led the full route with Paula Pickersgill taking charge of the 15 milers when the split was reached. The weather was clear and dry throughout. A cold and frosty start from Mytholmroyd reduced any potential muddy sections and by mid morning we were enjoying periods of mild sunshine - and those breath taking views.
