The A route, led by Jim, is anticlockwise from Ilkley and is an extensive tour of Rombalds Moor. The moor forms a natural barrier between Airedale and Wharfedale with Skipton and Keighley on the Airedale side and Ilkley on the Wharfedale side and is home to lots of smaller moors named after the towns and villages surrounding it. Therefore on Rombalds Moor you will find Addingham High Moor, Ilkley Moor, Burley Moor, Hawksworth Moor, Morton Moor and Bingley Moor. Quite a family Rombalds has! Rombalds Moor has been home to man for a very long time and while it is mainly used for recreational purposes now, the moor was once home to hunters of the Mesolithic age (11,000 - 9,000 BC) and then farmers of the Neolithic age (7,000 - 2,000 BC). Bronze age and early Celtic people then made their mark on the moor by making carvings into the stone, much of which remains today. The walk visits some of these ancient places.

The C route, led by Steve, is a circular from Ilkley on lanes and tracks. From Ilkley it goes west on the Dale's Way past Hadfield Farm and Low Mill Village to Addingham, then crosses the river on the suspension bridge continuing to Nesfield, Low Austby and Owler Park Wood. There is then a short riverside section back to Ilkley. There are a few stiles, all in good order but one of them is quite awkward.

The coach will probably be in Railway Road on the N side of the station.
