Leader: Marion Young
Distance: 5.5 miles
Total Ascent: 869 ft
The walk is in famous limestone country around Malham, near Skipton in the South Dales. This 51/2 mile trail passes through meadow along a limestone gorge to the waterfall at Janet's Fosse, over rough fells with panoramic views and joins the Pennine Way footpath for the last half mile.
After Janet's Fosse there is a 3/4 mile steep climb( approx 200 metres ,600 Ft.) up to Weets Top but it is on a metalled road way, Hawthorne Lane, Then downhill over Hanlith Moor for spectacular views of the dale, Gordale Scar, Malham Cove and the surrounding craggy countryside, down to Hanlith where we pick up the Pennine Way back to Malham.
