Malham

Yesterday I did a gentle walk around Malham from the Tarn, down to the Cove and back around. Even though it was a red hot day in the valley, there was a nice breeze and a very nice sprinkling of rain along the way.
I'll post some picture later.
Would love to see some new faces on the walk next Saturday morning.

Malham Walk

Details for Malham walk

• Meeting at Malham by Buck Inn at 9am
• Route starts on path to Janets Foss
• Then up to Gordale Scar ( Bacon Butties from van by campsite if required)
• Climb Gordale Scar, everyone is capable of getting up her with help and support
• Across to Malham Tarn if clear day it has awesome views
• Back towards Malham Cove
• Those lovely steps down (take care these get your calf's)
• Back to Buck Inn for a nice drink.

The route should take between 3 to 4 hours depending on the group and fitness levels, plenty of great photo opportunities along the way.  We always walk as a group and keep together, the main thing is that everyone enjoys the walk and fitness levels improve. I will pass the map around and ask were people think we are along the way also.

The group

Hi guys, this is a continuation from the British Gas Digital1 blog, as unfortunately through injuries, myself (Mark), Steve and James didn't complete the 2011 challenge. Although the machine we call Matthew Criss did!!
Going to volunteer on next years walk, unless a Doctor puts his money and feet were his mouth his and joins me in doing it in 2012!!!
Must also start with a big thank you to the mountain rescue guys and Dr Chris who came to me aid and got me down from just below Cam Farm.
I have started a facebook group for training walks, just search trailtrekker training 2013 in facebook and join. I will also so will be linking both together. Anyone is welcome, even if you don't fancy trailtrekker come on a walk get fit and if you want to learn basic map reading I'll go through that with you too.
The first training walk will be the Malham, Gordale Scar, Malahm Tarn, Malham loop on Saturday 2nd July 2011. Hope to see some new face on the walks.
