A fast run, with little ascent and descent, around Langcliffe Scar. The run takes in the paths and bridleways between Settle and Malham, following the Settle Loop of the Pennine Bridleway for much of the route. From the start, the route climbs gently and traverses under the limestone outcrop of Attermire Scar. Many small outcrops and caves lie just off the route, and it is worth taking a torch to explore some of them if you have time.
