MaprunPlus, Kirkby Malzeard, Sat Jan 30th

Andrew Kelly

MR+ joins up with NYMBO* again to explore the beautiful countryside surrounding the Domesday village of Kirkby Malzeard. Tucked away in the eastern foothills of the Dales, the village stands at the centre of a spider’s web of footpaths, back lanes and drystone walls, set in a rolling landscape of intricate fields and quiet woods. (*N Yorks Mountain Bike Orienteering)
