Since 1948 the volunteers of the UWFRA has been rescuing people and animals from the caves and fells around Wharfedale, Nidderdale, Littondale and Mid-Airedale.

We rely on the public for donations to provide the equipment and vehicles for this service.

Please come and join UWFRA for a walk or run round one of three routes all starting from Kettlewell in spectacular upper Wharfedale and rasie some much need funding for our team.

The Three (17 mile) and Two (13.5 mile) Peak routes are open to walkers and runners and offer far ranging views over Upper Wharfedale and surrounding Yorkshire Dales towards the well known Yorkshire Three Peaks in Ribblesdale and montains of the Lakes and Northern Pennines.

The 4.5 mile Valley walk is suitable for families and those wanting an easier day. The route follows the Dalesway path up the River Wharfe to the village of Starbotton and returns to Kettlewell at a slightly higher elevation (Paradise walk) offering views over the Upper Wharfedale valley.
