- Leader: Jenny Matthias
- Distance: 11.4miles
- Total Ascent: 1827ft
Leaving the car park we walk through the village and past the youth hostel onto a path that takes us to Malham Cove. (Where we may be lucky to see the Peregrines).
We join the Pennine Way crossing the Limestone pavement and continue to Malham Tarn.
Climbing away from the Tarn we head for Middle House farm in the N E direction then we go S past an old Roman fort to join Mastiles Lane. Here we head E towards Grassington before taking a path to Borderley Hall before climbing to Park House and the Weets. A little road walking takes us past the entrance to Gordale Scar and we will drop down to Janet’s Foss following the river back into Malham.

There are some short climbs on route. We encounter typical limestone country, lakes, moors and trees. On a wet day the limestone can be slippery, on a good day it is a pleasant walk.
