Midlife Hikers weekend away at Malham YHA From Friday 17 to Sunday 19 October we will be heading to Malham explore the stunning scenery, waterfalls and caves in this part of the Yorkshire Dales. This promises to be a really fun weekend with lots of laughter, great walks and fantastic company.
(Please see below for booking details. NB - marking yourself as "going" on Facebook does not book you a place)
🚶 Walks
There will be two walks: one on Saturday and one on Sunday.
Malham – 11 miles: A classic circular walk straight from our accommodation, we visit Janets Foss waterfall, Gordale Scar, Malham Tarn and the Cove. This is a fantastic walk that covers all the essential highlights for a visit to Malham.
Settle – 11 miles: A circular walk with lots of features, starting from the village of Langcliffe on the outskirts of Settle. There are three waterfalls - Stainforth Force (and the chance to spot leaping salmon), Catrigg Force and Scalaber force. There are also lots of caves to explore – including Jubilee and Victoria Cave.
Walks may change depending on the weather.
