6.8 mile linear route (one way). This route has been designed by Experience Community for disabled people who want to experience the Pennine Way using mobility equipment such as handcycles. The route is on bridleways, minor roads, and a cycle route along a canal, so is also suitable for cyclists. This Black Route starts at Wessenden Head just outside Meltham in West Yorkshire. The route is linear and is best undertaken as an uplift route. By this we mean that two vehicles are required, one should be left at the end of the route in Slaithwaite and then the group should drive to the start point at Wessenden Head. After enjoying the ride down the Wessenden Valley and back to Slaithwaite, the second vehicle can then be used to pick up the other vehicle from the start of the route. The route follows the Bridleway from the top of the Wessenden Valley along part of the Pennine Way, alongside four Yorkshire Water Reservoirs before dropping into the village of Marsden where you can stop for a drink in one of the village's many cafés or pubs. The route then follows the Huddersfield Narrow Canal down the Colne Valley back to Slaithwaite. Free Disabled Parking is available on New Street, Slaithwaite, HD7 5AB.

4.5 mile circular walk, cycle or horse ride The Malham Ramble has been devised by Experience Community as a route suitable for a wide range of people.  It has been graded as a black route due to the challenging nature of the surfaces over which it passes.  It is all on bridleways or minor roads, so can be followed on foot, using mobility equipment, by bike or by horse. This Experience Community Black Route starts at Watersinks Car Park at the iconic Malham Tarn in the heart of the Yorkshire Dales National Park. Travelling through Malham Moor the terrain is challenging traversing grassy paths where traction can be an issue, but with views aplenty, it’s a worthwhile taste of the open moorland. Once off the moor the route follows quiet country lanes towards Tarn Moss and joins the world famous Pennine Way long distance walking route skimming the northern edge of Malham Tarn in the shadow of Great Close Hill. This part of the route is an ideal place to stop, have a picnic and absorb your breath-taking surroundings. The National Trust have a Tramper that can be hired with advanced booking from their Malham Tarn Estate by calling 01729 830416 or emailing malhamtarn@nationaltrust.org.uk The nearest disabled toilets are located at the Yorkshire Dales National Park Visitor’s Centre in Malham Village.

A 4 mile circular route around Malham Tarn with magnificent views.  The route is suitable for users of off-road wheelchairs and trampers although it is quite challenging.   The following short film by Experience Community gives more information about the route, the terrain and facilities available. Starting at the National Trust Malham Tarn office, the walk takes you in a clockwise direction around Malham Tarn.  Approximately half of the route is on the Pennine Way.

6.5 mile (10.5km) circular walk, cycle or horse ride. This route follows the 'Malham Ramble' circular route with the addition of a section of the Settle Loop of the Pennine Bridleway. Car parking is at Watersinks car park, close to Malham Tarn. This is a moderately challenging ride which follows sections of both the Pennine Way and Pennine Bridleway National Trails in the Yorkshire Dales National Park.  From the car park, cyclists and horse riders should follow the bridleway across the grassland slightly away from the tarn edge and not follow the Pennine Way.   Cyclists and horse riders will join the Pennine Way at the gateway to Malham Tarn Estate where the route follows the track alongside the Tarn.  After a short section on minor roads, the route heads uphill across moorland to join the Pennine Bridleway National Trail and on a good day offers stunning views towards both Ribblesdale and Malhamdale.  Dropping back down to Langscar Gate the route crosses rough pasture on clear tracks to return to Watersinks car park.
