TR: Malham & Littondale Fells 3-day backpack
« on: 16:06:50, 06/06/10 »
A circuit of the fells around Malham Tarn and Littondale, formed from a group of six new Dewey 500m hills and completed by traversing several of the familiar mountains of the area.

A backpack of contrasts in both scenery and numbers of walkers, the well used paths and tracks in the areas of limestone-encrusted greenery near Malham Tarn were positively heaving with day trippers and walkers, but the Access Land areas away from public paths were completely deserted. During the first afternoon on the limestone High Marks, and the whole of the second day on the long moorland traverse of Birks Fell, I didn't see a single person, even from a far distance.

Thoroughly enjoyed reading that - and the photos. You picked some excellent weather for that trip too.
 
I love the Monks Road path from Malham to Arncliffe (usually do a circular via Cote Gill and Street Gate) and the excellent views on the way down into Arncliffe.

Thanks very much - great weather for a scenic trip.
The Monk's Road takes some beating, a quintessential limestone scenery walk.
