Wensleydale Wedge 2023
The Wensleydale Wedge will no longer be organised as a Challenge Event.
There will be a social walk taking in the route of the Wedge on Saturday 8th June 2024. Details of the Wensleydale Wedge route will also be added to the LDWA Anytime Walks webpages.
Nidderdale Group thank all those who supported the 30 challenge events including entrants, helpers, local landowners and the general community of Askrigg and Upper Wensleydale.
