The high limestone pasture of Hawkswick Clowder is a delight and is one of the more exposed sections of the ride. A testing but steady open moorland climb follows the north side of the infant Gordale beck and is a climb of approximately 100 metres over 2km.
If the weather's good, plan to take a break on the top as the long climb flattens out.

Malham PURE XC emtb trail. 25 Miles Amazing.
A real XC ride this, if there ever was a ride that encompasses that term, 'Cross Country' then this ride ticks all the boxes. 25 miles, of climbs, fast grassy ups and downs, rocks, and single track down hills, open Valleys and Moors with beautiful awe inspiring views.
