B walk Malham about 8.5 miles and climbing around 700 feet

Our walk today takes us steadily uphill in Long Lane, a farm road, from where we get a good view of Malham Cove. We cross a minor road and continuing uphill across fields come in sight of Malham Tarn. Joining a minor road we walk Westward and then North to circle the Tarn before joining the Pennine Way and heading back towards Malham Cove. We leave it there to continue on fields, then join a minor road leading direct into town

There is regrettably some road walking on this route but there are no alternative footpaths around the Tarn. On the recce the underfoot conditions were dry and generally very good but there are about ten stiles to climb.
