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 id s plan of the suggested walk (6 miles) and some useful links
