Overview

From Goathland Village Hall (free parking for hall users), we'll walk down the Rail Trail to Beck Hole and along West Beck passing Mallyan Spout. We continue towards Wheeldale Roman Road, then cross stepping stones on the moorland path to Simon Howe. The moorland descent takes us down Two Howes Rigg to Moorgates and a good track back to Goathland. Tea & cakes (no charge) available afterwards at the VH (please inform leader by 29 August if you're coming for tea).

This walk follows good paths and tracks over varied terrain. It's an easy walk to begin with, but the section around Mallyan Spout requires some easy scrambling over rocks to view the waterfall. The afternoon moorland section is quite exposed, so be prepared for changeable conditions. Boots are essential, it could be wet and slippery around the beck and waterfall. Poles will also be useful. Please advise leader by 29 August, if you're joining us for refreshments afterwards in the village hall.
