Profits from a new book, called Dales Rail Trails, will be used to help maintain the footpath network around Ingleborough, Whernside and Penyghent.

Authors Tony and Chris Grogan from the Saltaire-based publishers, Skyware Ltd, have agreed to donate a proportion of the proceeds from the sale of each copy to the Friends of the Three Peaks, a group which is run by the Yorkshire Dales National Park Authority.

The national park authority’s Three Peaks project manager, Steve Hastie, said: “This is yet another excellent offer of support from a local business – and the Settle Carlisle line is the ideal way to access the area.

“Sustainable tourism is at the heart of the publication, so I’m really happy with the link with the Friends of the Three Peaks.”

The book was financed by the national park authority’s Sustainable Development Fund – which is managed by the Yorkshire Dales Millennium Trust – and goes on sale tomorrow priced £8.99.
