Dales or North York Moors? (Or alternatives?)

Hi all,

I recently completed my Hill and Moorland Leader training and one of the pieces of advice I was given to address before I do my assessment is to walk in some more varied areas. The vast majority of my walks so far have been in the Lakes or Peaks, so the instructor recommended the Yorkshire Dales or Moors.

I’ve not done much (if anything) in those areas so was looking for advice on walks to plan and places to stay and use as a base. Walks need to be at least 4 hours and require some navigation (so not following marked trails).

If anyone has any suggestions I’d appreciate it.

Thanks
