Yorkshire Dales - Gordale Scar Scramble & Malham Cove
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 5 ก.ย. 2024
- Today's walk was in the picturesque Yorkshire Dales National Park and we began the day at Malham. After Passing Janet's Foss we had an awesome scramble up Gordale Scar, we then headed to Malham Tarn and then back down to Malham Cove. It was a fantastic walk and we topped it off by having food and drinks at the Bucks Inn in Malham.

Hi Dean we did that this year the climb up that waterfall is not for the faint hearted as you came out of the scarr you can climb over the ridge on the right walk along and drop down to the back of the waterfall it is good to see all that water flowing through such a small opening great for a few pics, this is one of my favourite walks great video.
Thanks for watching Steve, it's an amazing walk isn't it.
Yes this is great country - I am 76 years old and I did many of the walks in thees moors when I was younger. I did some caving and The Lyke Wake Walk 3 times. The last time when I was 42 years old. This is wonderful reminder of those times.
Thank you
+Brian Lowes thank you Brian, the reason I upload the videos is for the memories and to be able to have something to look back on in years to come. Really glad they served to remind you of the great times too, thank you for watching and commenting
A pleasant video of the best place in yorkshire , just my opinion , been here about 20 times and camped a few times , well done guys.
Thanks for watching Dylan, it's a stunning place
Probably my favourite half day walk anywhere, magnificent stuff!
It's a spectacular place, breathtaking when you see Goredale Scar for the first time. Thanks again for watching
ive spent many many hour roaming these paths from being 6rys old to now im taking my own kids there on days out, im so lucky living so close
Always amazed at the variety of dramatic landscapes packed into Britain, let alone that they can often be encountered on day trips. Thanks for the walk.
+Random Button Pusher thankfully I live in a part of the U.K. that is handy for getting to and from some really great places :-) hope to return there again soon, thanks for watching
The terrain at 5:52 is very reminiscent of the Burren here in Ireland. I'll be spending a week up there on a solo jaunt soon. Would recommend it for anybody to take a hike there. Well worth the visit!!
Thanks for watching Enda, I'm going to do a search for the Burren and save it for future trips to Ireland.
Great video Dean. Me and my wife did the exact same walk a couple of years ago except we had a refusal at Gordale Scar! We had to back track and walk up the adjacent hill and rejoin the path at the top. I went up the same way as you in Feb. 1980 and the waterfall was completely frozen which made for an interesting ascent.
+Chris Otterwell thanks for watching Chris, it's a really great route. I can imagine it's very tricky to get up Goredale Scar if the water is frozen, would a be a great sight to see though.
no how you feel dean love the place often go cant get enogh of it great vid mate
Well you certainly chose the right moment to go off elsewhere other than the peak district for a walk, saw the news this morning, blanketed in thick snow!
+James Stewart Dunn it was timed just right thankfully this week, the best day was Thursday by far so I'm glad it fell right with our days off :-) thanks for watching James
Ginger that was lovely. I have been to Malham Cove and did a similar walk. Thanks for the memories. Cheers
Thanks for watching :-)
Hello again Dean. First of all, great video you've made for us. Just like to say.. what a beautiful country we live in.. fantastic scenery in and around the Yorkshire dales. Cheers Gary
+gary kirkham I'm so grateful that I live within easy reach of so much amazing scenery, this was a little further away than the Peak District but the early start was definitely worth it. Thanks for watching mate
great to see you again i was wondering where you went was missing your vlogs. fantastic views Dean i wouldn't mind living there and i u enjoyed the snow well take care and c u on your next adventure over and out.
+ASIF VIRK me too, it's a really nice part of the country. I'd had a short break from TH-cam and have been adventuring without the camera, every time though I kept wishing I'd taken it with me :-) thanks for watching
Oh it's you again! You sure get around. :)
Dean
Malham is a great place to visit.Janet's Foss to me seems a magical place.I only live 1hr away from that area so visit there regularly.
Great stuff once again Dean
+andy s thanks for watching Andy, I really enjoyed it up there. Can't wait to return and bring the tent with me next time :-)
This is a great video! thanks for sharing, did this walk six years ago..really worth the effort!
Thanks for watching Keith
What an amazing place.
+Squatts Wild Camping thanks for watching mate, we really enjoyed the walk
Defunatley adding you on my list
Thanks for watching :-)
That looks a great little expedition!
Thanks for watching, it’s a really great route. Feels like an adventure when climbing the waterfall when it’s in full flow :-)
Nice video, beautiful nature.
Thanks for watching Alijda
Our next place to walk, thanks for the video.
Hi Dean. Spectacular! What else can i say about this place. Must be one of the wonders of England without a doubt. I can understand the sweet shop anecdote. Nice still peaceful spot for you and Ray there. Yorkshire is awesome...official! I must say Dean you have a photographic memory or something. Always top rate commentary. Loved it. Mark.
+Wye Explorer hi Mark, it really is quite a spectacular spot. I agree that it has to be up there with England's greatest natural wonders, I just wish life would allow me to get to more places like this more often. I'm currently working the night shift so I've been getting rather jealous of people's pictures that I've seen from this weekend :-) The spot we chose for lunch was so peaceful and silent, I was amazed at how silent it was. Not a breath of wind and hardly any people around, that's why I love midweek walking. Thanks for watching my friend and I hope you've had a great weekend too. All the best. Dean
Dean Read hey there Dean....I could tell that was silent and still. Like you love these places...no effort letting it in. Yeah probably top 10 natural wonders...possibly top 3. I feel you working night. Always knocks you about. A good local mooch yesterday. If you visit the channel look out for Got Him! The Fly Tipper. We found the perpetrator. Any way, all the best. Mark.
Great video Dean, what a awesome place for a walk, scenery was stunningly beautiful, another place on my list of walks to do, cheers craig
+Craig Twiner I loved it at Gordale Scar, I was like a kid in a sweet shop :-) hope you manage to get up there soon, thanks for watching
wow what a place! Definitely putting this route on my to do list!
+Adam Worboys thanks for watching Adam, Goredale Scar is a really stunning place and is definitely worth a go. Hope you have fun when you visit. ATB
Hi Dean, was lovely following your hike, I love this area. Monica and I did a shortened version of this years ago. Was summertime, so less water coming down the scar (no, we did not scramble up!) but as many people as there are rocks. The solitude you had was pretty nice. "Stellar" :)
Thanks for watching Julie. Really enjoyed this walk and definitely the best time of year to go I think. Hope you're both well. All the best, Dean.
Malham is my favourite walk,I climb up the waterfall at Gordale Scar but never when it is so wet.😂
Thanks for watching Tony, it’s a great walk isn’t it
fantastic place
+Yorkshire lad I love that area, much return soon. Thanks for watching
Another good film Dean. Atb RS
+Renegade Scot thanks for watching mate
Thanks for another great video, Dean. A real treat to watch on a gloomy day (at work). The shot of Malham Tarn was beautiful and a bit surprising!
+Laura Watkins thanks for watching Laura, I'm back at work now and it's a gloomy day here too :-) Malham Tarn was very tranquil yesterday, we had our lunch there while enjoying the silence
Ohhh Yes Dean just superb loved... a def visit here soon. Just brilliant well done Julie :)
+Julie Liddle Thanks for watching Julie, I can't wait to go back there soon with the tent and get a wild camp done :-)
what a place great walk alb
+Hip Hop England I really enjoyed it, thanks for watching :-)
Great video Dean, only just found your video`s in past few days while looking for walks around the Peak District. I`m an aviation historian so for over 25 years visited the aircraft wrecks all over the place for book research. Recently I have taken to walking the hills, canals and reservoirs just to enjoy the scenery and get some exercise. I don`t know what your full time occupation is but you have a great speaking voice, good manner and a knack for being on camera. You could easily fill the shoes of TV `Coast` presenter. Thanks again for the uploads. Keep up the good work! Dave
+David Earl Hi David thank you for your kind words. I'm just guy who works shifts in a factory in the medical supplies industry that loves getting outdoors, although I'd happily swap this career for a job on Coast :-) that would be a dream come true as I love making the videos and presenting them. Thanks for watching the videos and I hope they serves as inspiration for routes. All the best, Dean
Great video mate... think im going to have to walk this... looks awesome
+Jim Law it's a really great route, I'd definitely do it again :-) thanks for watching
looked a great walk this never been up there defo now try get up there this summer .
+Andrew Seadon thanks for watching Andrew, it's a really great area and definitely worth exploring
Hi, congratulations on your subs, well deserved. Always a pleasure to watch your videos and it's clear you put a lot of effort into making them. Thanks for taking the time to produce them and share.
+Gavin Riggall hi Gavin, thank you for your kind comments. I love making the videos and music etc, I enjoy the whole process :-) thanks for watching
Great place we're off there this Sunday
Nice one enjoyed that I am off that way over the next two weekends
A great film Dean with some fantastic countryside.Dont forget to get your muff dried out for your next expedition :-)
Your Reaction was the same as mine Buddy. The Scar is breath taking.
+Aerial imagery haha :-) it's dry now thankfully, it dried out by the fire in the pub afterwards, I had to be careful not to singe it though haha
+Nick bond it really is breaking, the pictures I'd seen didn't prepare me for it :-) thanks for watching Nick
Another fantastic video dean read the scrambling up the waterfall looks a little bit too extreme for me I don't think I would try it thanks for sharing
+John Clarke thanks for watching John, it was a little tricky with all that water coming over the top but should be more manageable in the summer months.
Seems an age since i been up there...Lot of memories came back great video Dean A T B Daz...
+moorwalker Daz thanks for watching Daz, loved walking there and I'm hoping to get back for a wild camp soon
+Dean Read Always great to watch Dean and a pleasure.I am from Sheffield but now live in Devon my back yard as they say is Dartmoor now.I try and get back up north as often as i can as the peaks is were i cut my teeth a long long time ago. Off up to north wales end of march looking forward to that. Keep um comeing mate a t b Daz..
+moorwalker Daz I keep meaning to head back to Dartmoor, I've only visited once but really enjoyed it. It's very similar to the Peak District but it has ponies :-)
Yes it as!! They ate the bumper on my new car lol funny now but not at the time. Dartmoor as got what- i always say a very haunting and strange mystical beauty.Next time your down this way give me a shout and i will give you the full tour a t b Dean. Daz..
Great vid Dean, Never been to Malham even though its only an hour away, hope to get up there this year. It's amazing what the water has done to the limestone over the years, great walk, thanks for sharing. ATB Ben
+Yorkshirewanderer Gordale Scar and Malham Cove are breathtaking, erosion has forged some awesome shapes and features. Really enjoyed walking there, hope to return again soon and do some wild camping. Thanks for watching Ben
brilliant video dean, got to try that place out, video quality is second to none fantastic 👍
+craig bakewell thanks mate 👍😎 that route is a good one, defo worth a go but
Great video once again Dean. Awesome landscape over there in't Yorkshire 👍 The National Coal Mining Museum for England near Wakefield is a great day out.
To my shame I've never spent any leisure time exploring the wonderful countryside on offer in Yorkshire which is something I must put right real soon. Atb
+Jeff Alfresco hi Jeff, I've been meaning to go to the Coal Mining Museum. Would like to go down the mine itself as I believe they do trips down there. North Yorkshire has lots of great places, must get back there myself too and explore a little more. Thanks for watching mate
+Dean Read It was a few years ago when the family and I visited the museum and yes you can go down the mine shaft. There's loads to see and do at the site but make sure to book your places for the trip down the mine on arrival, if its busy gets booked up early doors. Atb
+Jeff Alfresco ah ok, I'll add it to my todo list and make sure I get there early
going in a couple of weeks here! can't wait now! great vid :)
+Le Crayon. Enjoy :-) I can't wait to return. Thanks for watching
love that walk. you did well to get up the scar with that much water coming over...I'd have bottled it! :-)
Congrats on the milestone mate!
+Black73Cat thanks mate, only seems like 5 mins ago I was thanking people for the 3,000. Not that I'm complaining one bit :-) really enjoyed the walk and the scramble, I fancy a lazy 3 Peaks wild camp when the weather improves
+Dean Read aye, that would make a nice two dayer...without busting a gut!
escaping the crowds might be tricky though! ;-)
+Black73Cat true, I'd do it midweek and have my fingers crossed :-)
Another great vid Deano. One of my favourite local haunts, Gordale and the Cove. Must have been cool to reminisce over your Pennine way hike through here with Chris 2 years ago. I hope you finish that adventure off one day :)
+Chris B thanks for watching Chris, the Pennine Way is up there on my todo list but not sure when I'll get around to it. There are lots of other things I'd like to do first :-)
The inspiration for Helms Deep.. For Tolkien
I didn't know that, thanks for watching
Beautiful
It is lovely there but I made the mistake of going on a summers afternoon on a bank holiday, it was literally like Disneyland there with the crowds.
Thanks for watching, I can imagine it was horrendously busy on a bank holiday
I have done that route myself its stunning great to watch the video and remind me of just how stunning.
Added to my list for a revisit :-)
Grate Video & well done on getting 4000 Dean
+David's Vlogs thanks for watching David, I've passed 7,000 in the last week or so too which is great. ATB Dean
Personally I quite like a damp muff - bah dum dum tsk
Thanyouverymuch, I'm here all week ;)
+timb171 PS. you forgot the traditional 'say hi Ray'
+timb171 oh yeah, I usually make him say hello in every video :-) haha I'd forget about that. Thanks for reminding me and also thanks for watching
+timb171 me too ;-)
ótimo,estou inscrito,de guaranésia,brasil
+vagner sansao Obrigado por assistir :-)
I have only been to Gordale Scar once like you amazing but we did not climb up maybe in 2021 can I ask what boats you recommend for grip and waterproof
Thanks for watching Paul. I use 'Mammut Mount Trail' leather boots but I've also heard good things about the 'Meindl Bhurma Pro'. All the best
Dean have you ever been to lydford gorge in Devon...? It's brill,,i went many years ago when my son was a child.it was a great adventure. i was able to walk far then...it would be great if you went there and did a vid on it...two carparks ,,you choose which car park to set off from then it's a 5 mile all round i think..there's a 100' waterfall called the white lady...lovely place....atb👍
Great walk Dean did Ray forget his camera ...
+shaun bades ray took has camera and he recorded some footage, hopefully it'll be online soon fingers crossed :-)
Great video as always mate. The scramble looked a bit hairy
+James Bulloch it was really fun, a little bit slippery at times but that added to the thrill :-) haha thanks for watching
hi dean stunning place mate have not been there since the eighties must get back there someday any news on rays channel dean best wishes chris
+Christopher Smith Hi Chris, I've only ever been once before and I've been looking for an excuse to return, in the end I just made an excuse :-) Ray did record some footage during the walk so hopefully he is happy with it and will upload it... i'll message him now and see how he is going with it
You should do more away days Dean 😉. How about the Yorkshire 3 peaks someday (...if you haven't already)? Love the videos, as always!
+edsloan the Yorkshire 3 Peaks is already in the calendar for April this year :-) I've done Pen-y-ghent while on the Pennine Way but haven't done Whernside etc. My Mrs and her friends want to do the Y3P so I thought I'd tag along. Thanks for watching Ed
Dean Read Awesome, I hope the trip goes well and I shall look forward to seeing the upload! :)
edslo
What a fantastic place - And congratulations on your subs
ATB Mike
#StayCornish😬
+Cornish Knives & Camping Thanks Mike, it's a stunning place isn't it
As always a thoroughly enjoyable video Dean! A question, when do you decide that conditions are too wet for filming with the DSLR, I mean how much damp can they cope with before you put it away?...Rgds Nige
+Nige Ayers hi Nige, thanks for watching. Since I got the 7D I don't worry as much if its only a bit of drizzle. The camera is weatherproof (not fully waterproof) providing it has a compatible lens fitted with a filter that screws on the end. Thankfully my 17-40mm F/4.0 L is one of the lenses that is water resistant, I had that fitted for this video and the one I use 95% of the time. The microphone is the main thing I worry about, if it's just drizzle then I don't worry but if it starts raining properly I put it in my bag or hide it under my coat for a while :-)
Malham Cove looks magical Dean! Beautiful! How difficult was the climb of the waterfalls?? It looks quite difficult on your video.
+Jon Davies Hi Jon, the climb was a little tricky heading up Gordale Scar as it was pretty wet and I didn't want to break my camera. I think in summer months it would be easier when there is less water flowing down. It's only a short little scramble though and then it is pretty easy after that. Thanks for watching
Cheers Dean!
Great vid Dean. Did a similar route a few years back so a nice reminder. Never got to do the Gordale scramble though as the kids were a bit young then, very tempted now though. Thanks for sharing. By the way, Was that a Barn owl or Short -eared owl that you saw (opening sequence)
Steve
+Stephen Butler hi Stephen, Ray and I thought it was a Barn Owl. we watched him flying around for a while and I was hoping he would fly back over us but that is the closest he came. Hope you manage to fit the scramble in when you return, I want to go back again myself and check out the top waterfall and what it looks like from the other side of the plug hole.... i'm not sure if it's called the plug hole :-)
Another great one Dean. Already said it but well done on the subs mate. Are we liklely to see you in Edale at the end of may?
Atb Andy
+Undercover Outdoors Thanks for watching Andy and thanks for the subs congrats. when is the meet up mate? is it last weekend in May?
+Dean Read Yes mate 26th to 30th ollerbrook farm. Great Northern Bushcraft Conference there are a couple of vids on TH-cam just cant do a link.
I watched Foxys video from last year and some by Barking Badger If I remember rightly. I'm on holiday the week before but should be able to make it even if it's just to visit and head out for a walk, I'll drag Jay aka GoonieBushcraft along with me too :-)
Thanks for your video, it is such a beautiful scene! You mentioned that the Gordale scar is a technical climb - do you think an average hiker would be able to climb it or is it only for those who are properly skilled? Many thanks. Natasha
Hi Natasha Cranston, thanks for watching. Gordale Scar is a nice scramble and it's not too technical. It is only a short little climb up the centre of the waterfall so should be manageable for most people.
+Dean Read Ok, great, thank you! I look forward to taking my boyfriend there as a surprise trip for his birthday.
+Natasha Cranston hope you have a great time :-)
This way up is actually considered to be part the classic circular route. Janet's Foss Gordale Scar, Malham Tarn , Malham Cove.
stunning area Dean. myself and my family are looking for a glamping site around that area, we are going to forbidden corner and a visit into leeds over 2 days do you have any suggestions??
+acedecs Hi mate, the only camp site I can recommend from personal experience in the southern area is at Gargrave called the "Eshton Road Caravan Park", i'm unable to post a link via the comments section but it should come straight up if you search via google. We stayed there during our Pennine Way walk and it was a nice little site with good, clean facilities.
We also stayed at Holme Farm at Horton-in-Ribblesdale which is a great location, lovely owner (Chris) but pretty basic. Thirdly we stayed at Bainbridge Ings camp site at Hawes which is excellent and the facilities were great.
Thanks Dean I will take a look. Chris.
I fancy doing this walk but it`ll take longer to drive there than do the walk :(
You could drive there and stay overnight in the YHA at Malham :-) Thanks for watching
and there a little cave behind janets foss water fall me and a few mates hide in one summer
Do I need a full day for this walk?
Around 4-5 hours I'd say. Thanks for watching
Dean Read oh amazing. Do you have the trail? I’m doing it in March it looks epic ❤️ taking my Vietnamese friends
HI Dean! Great video...We feature many of Yorkshire location on our channel you might enjoy seeing them from a drone. Please let us know when you in Yorkshire, maybe we can do something together!
and I thought Kinder Downfall was amazing...!
+MountainstoModelRailways Goredale Scar is pretty impressive :-)
Ha, we were there for the first time last weekend , you had it a bit quieter by the looks of it , i scrambled up the Right Hand Side, in hindsight i think up the middle was probably the easier route, will give that a whiz next time, a few had come at it from the top but don't know as i'd fancy down climbing it, Took the Phantom and flew it up the gully and above the falls if you want a look You have to get one of these to hump with you on your jaunts, burns a few more calories i can tell you but worth it , Great vid as always, catch ya on the next one , Phantom Video link th-cam.com/video/3LVj49rVQuw/w-d-xo.html
+Andrew Linney yeah we did try the right hand side first but the middle was definitely easier and also drier :-) haha. I would like a DJI drone but it's just a matter of saving the pocket money. Thanks for watching Andrew
i'm selling one if you interested Dean , just upgraded so i kinda got two at the moment, trying to sell it locally so can demo it etc, don't want to ebay it and send something like that through post, amazing bit of kit
+Andrew Linney Just watched your video Andrew, excellent flying skills and some great angles. which model is it that you have up for sale?
It's the Phantom 2 Vision Plus, More than happy with it to be fair and wasn't planning to upgrade any time soon but a Phantom 3 Advanced came along from some one i know and couldn't resist lol, Going to Iceland again in April so wanted to get to grip with the new one before i get into 400 foot waterfalls around every corner, I humped the vision up Helvelyn and Blencathra last year as well as various places in Peak, take it and fly the various plane wrecks and remote waterfalls etc, They're the mutts nuts and so easy to fly
