Route
Start and free parking at the Demesne Mill c.p Wolsingham, DL13 3DG The purpose of this walk is to finalise the route, route description & gpx files for the 2024 Durham Dales Challenge Event. It is also an opportunity for those who will be helping out on the actual event to do the walk themselves. I would anticipate that the walk will take in the region of 12 hours to complete

Walk Report
As the Demesne Mill car park has recently changed to a pay and display car park, we changed the parking and start of this Marshall's walk to Wolsingham Station parking area. Gorgeous sunny day. Checked the new route description, written by Anja Huskens as we went around, only minor changes to which will be required for this years event. No significant problems were found on the route which will be essentially the same as last year. Pleasing to see that a step stile as has been put in place by Raby Estates at NY990315 next to the track between Little Eggles Hope Beck and the B6278 so that a climb over the locked gate is no longer necessary; henceforth to be known at Clifton's Step, as is was Dave Clifton that kept on at Raby Estates to install the stile.
