Unfortunately we didn’t get round to walking up to the cove even though it was only a short walk from the camp site. At the time we decided to leave that one until Sunday morning, but as it was our poor legs were so stiff we opted to leave it until next time we visit, so sorry I can not help you there.
I remember last year I walk up to the cove and there were a group of people all stood around a telescope and at the time I didn’t have a clue what they were up too but now I know. Cheers.
On Saturday we set of about 12.30pm and walked to Janet’s Foss and up to Gordale Scar. We didn’t bother climbing the water fall as it looked a bit wet and slippery so we back tracked and moved on to Malham Tarn via the top side of Malham Cove. When we reached the Tarn we decided to walk around it.
We got back into Malham about 5.20pm, just in time to catch the beck Hall café still open because at this point we where very hungry. Hehe
I would recommend Malham as the place to go to anyone.
