[1] Perhaps the easiest and shortest route up the mountain is a bridleway from Buckden, although this is steep and boggy in parts, and therefore somewhat unsuitable for cyclists and those on horseback.

Walkers can start and finish at either of the car parks in Buckden or Kettlewell - traditionally the leg along the River Wharfe (part of the Dales Way) is completed at the end of the day for an easier finish.

The memorial was created by, with help from various locals,[2] the sole survivor of the crash Jozef "Joe" Fusniak, and completed on 8 August 1973.

In 1987, Peter altered the course to make it tougher and more interesting and it has remained unchanged ever since and this was the course on which the records were set.

The women's record is held by Carol Greenwood who in 1993, finished with a time of 36:32.
