While looking for somewhere different to plan a small excursion I stumbled upon a small village Malham in the Yorkshire Dales. No… I’d never herd of it either, the village is a little off the beaten track and has 3 or 4 small county pubs with accommodation, plus a Bunk House (just out of the village). There are a few fairly easy walks, cycling trails and trout fishing right on the door step.

The general idea of this excursion is to travel down Friday 9th, have a few beers, then have a do what you want Saturday, walking, fishing, cycling or even a ride on the Settle / Carlisle railway. A few well earned beers on the Saturday night and then back home.

Nothing has been planned for definite… this is just an idea at this stage but here is the plan of the suggested walk (6 miles) and some useful links. All we need to do is pack our cycling jerseys
