The SILVA Dales Traverse™ is a 55km ultra following Wainwright’s coast to coast route from Kirby Stephen to Richmond. The event has an adventurous ethos and culture of self-sufficiency.

Following the same route as SILVA Northern Traverse™, the Dales Traverse™ starts from Kirkby Stephen, passes through the North Pennines Area of Outstanding National Beauty, over the iconic Nine Standards, and into the heart of the Yorkshire Dales National Park weaving through Swaledale to a stunning finish below Richmond Castle. This is an achievable and beautiful ultra and a great stepping stone for those aspiring to enter the SILVA Moors™ or Lakes Traverse™.

We want to make this the best ultra you have ever done! We can’t take credit for the route, this is down to Alfred Wainwright – but he got it right, which is why the coast to coast route is Britain’s most popular long distance path.

2024 is the first edition of SILVA Dales Traverse™ and the event piggybacks the logistics of its big brother, the SILVA Northern Traverse™. As such there are large distances between Support Points and participants at this first edition should very much see themselves as test pilots!
