Little Alms Cliff

The day looked like it was going to stay fair so I rummaged through my books for a new walk and came up with this one.  The car park took some finding – eventually found it and got my boots on.  From the look of it it was a popular place for off road mountain biking.  I crossed the main road and went on the track into the woods. 

The first part was fine but then the directions were to take a path by a wall corner, I must have spent 20 minutes going up and down crossing paths in the forest to finally come across a really narrow little trod into the woods –

once I’d found the path I just stayed on it to eventually come out at the other side of the forest – over a stile to a rough sheep pasture and ahead I could see Little Alms Cliff.  

From the cliff Menwith Hill could be seen on the skyline.

  Having looked around at the views I set off back heading towards the right of the forest.  Here I followed a path outside the forest to a stile which took me back into the wood – but the path was a much better one than the one on the other side of the trees.  The path ran straight onto the road and then back into the woods to eventually join the original path I’d taken into the woods.  Good walk of about 4 ½ miles with all the up and down I did looking for the right paths at the beginning, and it had stayed fine today.
