Public Transport based walk with John Ireland.
Before you get started, this isn't a Hull to Halifax linear - instead it's nice walk out to the west of Halifax with lots of little hills, then beyond Lightcliffe and back via Shibden Park, with a missing trig point, a hollow way and half a viaduct just to add to the fun.
