Moorland below Mallerstang Edge From where Old Road, a Byway open to all traffic, crosses Elm Gill, an ascent of 180m of a pathless section of the moor leads upwards to the southern end of Mallerstang Edge. This is looking towards the edge from near the start of the climb.

Old Road crosses Elm Gill Old Road runs from the Thrang right round to the junction of Cotterdale with Wensleydale, a distance of over 11.5 kilometres, with often fine views, but doesn't seem to be anywhere near as popular with off-road drivers and trail bikes as some of the BOATs in the dales. The point where it crosses Elm Gill was the spot where we had chosen (well, the dog didn't actually get a vote) to leave the track to ascend to the southern end of Mallerstang Edge. There don't seem to be any actual paths up the CROW Access Land, so the choice is a little arbitrary, but our route reached the beginnings of a faint path on the ridge in three quarters of a kilometre with 180m of ascent.
