Five Valleys Camp Out
24th / 25th May 2026
The Five Valley Camp Out explores a corner of the South Pennines by linking together the ancient track ways and modern and greenways that radiate out from the Calder Valley like green spokes from a hub.
The Pennine Skyline event heads north from the Calder valley. The Five Valleys heads south.

“Water, that strong white stuff, can here be seen at its origins. It wells from the rock, and flows away. For unnumbered years it has welled from the rock and flowed away. It does nothing, absolutely nothing, but be itself.”
Nan Shepherd
The Living Mountain (1977)
