We are the Midlife Hikers. We open the way for everyone in our local community to enjoy the pleasures of walking.
We leave the car park picking up the Nidderdale Way, as it climbs up and over In Moor to the pretty village of Middlesmoor.
We then make way along the valley bottom crossing the River Nidd, before a steep climb up on to Lofthouse Moor. We follow the undulating path over Dale Edge, taking in the sweeping views over Nidderdale and Scar House Reservoir, before descending back down to the car park.
🅿️ Free car park at Scar House Reservoir, HG3 5SW – as you leave Lofthouse, turn right through stone gateposts at the Yorkshire Water sign
🚻 There are toilets at the start of the walk
🐶 Dogs are welcome but must be kept on a lead at all times
🥪 You will need to bring a packed lunch
Midlife Hikers is a Ramblers group for people in their 40s and 50s, and our walks are led by volunteers. Non-members are welcome to try us out for free for up to 3 walks but then we ask you to join the Ramblers
