| Walk: | Pennine Way, Janet's Foss, New Close Knotts, Tarn Road, Trougate, Malham Rakes, Malham, River Aire | ||
| Start Point: | Kirkby Malham opposite church | Grid Reference: | SD 893 609 |
| Distance: | 9 miles | Ascent: | 1,016 feet |
| Time: | 4.5 hours | ||
| Weather: | Mild for time of year with little breeze | ||
| Comments: | Another walk in a familiar area, this time to explore the area above Gordale Scar. Even though there was no footpath maked on the map it was good to see that there was a good path leading to the top of the cliffs above Gordale Scar. From there the route was clearly marked and easy to follow. | ||
Sunrise at home before I leave for Kirkby Malham
The waterfall at Janet's Foss . . .
and as we leave
Above Gordale Scar . . .
we can see down into the valley . . .
and zoom in on the waterfall
Two people who had climbed beside the waterfall . . .
can be seen higher up the valley
The valley is still impressive as it continues upstream
Walking beside the River Aire, nearly back
