The clockwise A route, led by Jim from Malham starts with an ascent of the 320ft of steps up to the top of Malham Cove, continuing along Watlowes to Water Sinks, then around Malham Tarn to Mastiles Lane. From near the Roman Camp we head S along the E edge above Goredale to Great Knott, descending to cross the minor road and climb Weets Top. Heading SSW there is a shortcut along Windy Pike Lane to Hanlith (2.5m / 375ft ascent less) or the mapped route via Calton & Airton. Both return to Malham on the Pennine Way.
