Into the Dales for a change of scenery! A circular walk from Airton Bridge on the upper River Aire taking in Weets Top, Goredale Scar, Malham Tarn & Malham Cove - 14miles ....2150ft
Leaving the village at first light, I caught the sunrise
from Calton Moor.
Half an hour later looking back down the moor
First stop at the trig point on Weets Top 1358ft
Descending to Goredale Scar with typical Dales scenery and Fountains Fell on the horizon
Walking up the good path towards the scar
The scar gradually becomes narrower....
.... before the path ends abruptly at the water falls
I then followed a path up the east side of Malham Cove passing the top whilst heading for Malham tarn....
....Looking down into the cove as I went past
A couple of miles further took me to Malham Tarn for a second stop
Zooming in on the boat house across the water
Following the Pennine Way, I returned to Malham Cove arriving at the limestone pavement above the cove....
....before descending to take a closer look from below
My rather late stopping place for lunch in Malham village
I then followed the river Aire back to Airton Bridge passing through
Hanlith on the way
A grand day in the Dales on a somewhat breezy day but with much interest and
lovely sunshine.
I'll be back again soon!!
