	The Lyke Wake Walk
		The Lyke Wake Dirge describes the journey made by the dead across the great unknown to their final resting place of peace or retribution, and here another facet of life and death may have occurred to Bill Cowley.
		Walking quickly northward, the flush of the real dawn came flooding down from the east, spreading and exaggerating the fl holes in the dry stone walls as they tumbled down over the edge of the moor, and increasing the contrast between the silhouetted pine trees and the ever-lightening pink-tinged sky.
		There are only three roads crossing the route of the Walk after the first few miles have been covered and it is not unusual for the support teams to have to drive long distances to be at the same place as their walkers, at the same time and with their food ready to eat.

		You will walk along the edge of a glider station; do not be tempted to take the short cut across the runway as the owners tend to become rather irate and a glad on the back of the neck can be slightly painful.
		Turn right and follow this track the walking is easy and at first it comes as a relief but after a while it becomes boring and after going round several bends at the head of various dales you begin to wonder if there is an end to this part of the walk.

	Guardian \| Corpse-watching ramblers revive exhausting challenge
		The walk takes its name from the local medieval wyke, or watch, kept on a lyke, or corpse, before it was carried for burial at Whitby or Robin Hood's Bay.
		The walk was founded in 1954 by Bill Cowley, an extrovert farmer from the village of Potto, who was an enthusiast before walks like the Pennine Way became popular.
		Lyke Wake walkers came from all over the world, with crossings from Osmotherly to Ravenscar Point made on bicycles, skis and barefoot.

		We were heading for the route of the Lyke Wake Walk that follows the parish boundary a couple of miles ahead.
		We were about half way along the track to the LWW when we were met by a young game keeper on a quad bike coming the other way.
		We sat in the heather beside the Lyke Wake Walk for a drink and a sandwich - it was very comfortable - before continuing along the Lyke Wake Walk to Shunner Howe and a few hundred yards further on to the ruins of Hamer House at the road.

	Ramblers walking forums - Save the Lyke Wake Walk!
		This would be a tremendous shame, since the walk, though very gruelling (40 miles within 24 hours, or, more realistically, within daylight hours for the novice), is also very rewarding, and seeped in tradition - both the tradition of prehistory and also the eccentric tradition of the Club itself.
		I would say right now though, that this walk is not for the inexperienced or fainthearted, and any that attempt it would be wise to allow about 16 hours of daylight and take due regard to the weather, since the moors can become fogbound, and in places boggy in wet weather.
		When you get to the end of this walk you will be rewarded by some magnificent coastline at Robin Hoods Bay and, should you wish, the luxury of a comfortable hotel, the bar of which was the finishing point for the first intrepid party in 1955.

		The Lyke Wake Walk is a forty-mile challenge walk, to be completed in under 24 hours and is situated on England's high North York Moors.
		Though that first crossing was done in 13 hours walking time, tramping through what was then the trackless heather was a tiring business and the party camped at 7:00pm on the first day, resuming their trek at 3:30am the next, arriving in Ravenscar at 11:00am, a total of 23 hours after the walk had started.
		The Lyke Wake Walk is often undertaken by parties and those parties are usually helped by support teams who provide food, somewhere to sit and rest and a possible refuge for those who find the going too hard.

	North York Moors - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The area is very well defined; on three sides rampart-like escarpments rise up from the flat Yorkshire countryside, whilst the fourth (eastern) side is a cliff-edged coast.
		Many visitors to the moors are engaged in outdoor pursuits, particularly walking; the parks has a network of rights of way almost 2300 km (1400 miles) in length, and most of the areas of open moorland will be open access under the Countryside and Rights of Way Act 2000.
		Popular named walks included the Cleveland Way, which circles the moors, and has a section along the coast; and the Lyke Wake Walk, which leads directly across the heart of the moors.

		The Walk was first suggested by Bill Cowley, who farmed at Potto Hill, near its start and within sight of the Cleveland Hills, which it traverses.
		'Wake' is the watching over of a corpse - done to this day and the term still used, though in some countries it has come to mean the party to celebrate the life of the deceased when the funeral is over.
		In mediaeval times churches, and the consecrated ground in which the dead could be buried, were few and far between and often the dead had to be borne many miles, their coffins on the shoulders of the mourners, to the nearest church.
