Superb - thanks for that Dave. I was trying to get to the Apostles from the Cow and Calf but to no avail! - i put it down to the bad weather rather than my very poor navigational skills!

Paulus has given me some good directions also, so between the two of you I should be in with a good chance of finding them - I hope! Wish me luck!

I'll keep you posted.

Thanks again

Sky, before you go, perhaps you'd like to take this, by Alexander Thom, with you http://www.themodernantiquarian.com/forum/?thread=23046

Happy searching :-)

Fwiw I'd agree with Paulus that I found the easiest route to follow is from White Wells.

From there, you're following the main path all the way - the dales Way. The only place you could possibly go wrong is once onto the moor 'proper' after a while you reach a major fork in the path. The left path goes a bit downhill and across a beck, and the right climbs distictly away. You want the left path, which then also starts to climb & always used to have some wooden raised tracking on it.

If you get that bit right, I think you'd have trouble missing it. :^)

love
