Bridleway east of Forest Since J Thomas was here, a pair of metal gates has blocked the gap ahead, but the bridleway, number 20.26/4 makes a slight deviation to go to the left of the gates and hedge.

Bridleway east of Forest
Since J Thomas was here, a pair of metal gates has blocked the gap ahead, but the bridleway, number 20.26/4 makes a slight deviation to go to the left of the gates and hedge.
Farmland east of Forest An unremarkable pasture south of the bridleway. There's a suggestion of a path across this field, but as there's no way through a hedge and fence in front of the camera, I assume that it is a track made by an animal. The smudge on the horizon is the line of the Hambleton Hills to the east of Northallerton.

The end of a bridleway Go through the gate and one is heading roughly north west along path number 10.134/1. Heading east along the adjoining path, one has just crossed the boundary from Richmondshire [area 20] into Hambleton [10].

Barns at Grange Farm The bridleway is shown crossing a field at a diagonal to reach this point, but the field has no sign of a path, just a root crop and some mud. A waymark post shows the onward route through the farmyard.

Straw bales by a farm track The barn doesn't appear on another photo which I took looking in the opposite direction in January 2009, so obviously of recent construction.

Where's the path? Trying to follow the line marked on the map across this field of old ridge and furrow as well as remains of a medieval village site. The path is shown crossing the farm track midway between a corner and the farm buildings, but the track is lined by barbed wire fencing with no visible means of crossing. Way down to the left is a flimsy stile [left of photo] from where there is a usable route along a hedge line.

A stile on a terrible path 'Stile' is hardly an appropriate description for this fence crossing as there are no footboards and the upright posts have barbed wire attached. However this is probably the easiest crossing on a dreadful footpath that involves rotted timber stiles, fighting with vegetation, avoiding electric fencing, and crossing two water filled ditches, one of which has a footbridge, according to the NYCC official map, but which in fact doesn't exist. Other walkers should avoid path 20.52/4 and walk along the roadside instead.

Farm work at East Cowton In the further field a combine is busy harvesting a cereal crop, whilst in the nearer field the harvest is done and a tractor appears to be spreading fresh seed. Manor House farm in the distance.

Stack of bales at the track side Most likely straw from this summer's harvest. The track runs through to Pepper Arden and is a public bridleway, number 10.134/7. Hambleton district is 10, South Cowton is parish 134 and this is path 7.
