The Yorkshire Gliding Club The sign states "No admittance authorised personnel only".  The OS marks a runway beyond the club-house from which a tow-plane was operating, but no doubt this area of flat grassland may also become a landing strip when wind conditions require.

Dialstone Farm Situated high on the Hambleton Hills close to the 1000ft contour. This might be high, but it is decent arable land. The farmhouse [hidden here] was once the Dialstone Inn, one of several alongside the old droving road which ran along the hilltop.

Bridleway towards Hambleton House I would be tempted to call this the Hambleton drove road, but the line of the ancient routeway becomes unclear between Dialstone Farm [once an inn] and the top of the bank that heads downhill past Scotch Corner to Oldstead. By the time of first edition OS maps [1853] a straight line heading past the Hambleton Inn and onwards to a bend in the track at Shaws Gate has been lost, probably due to enclosures, but this does look like the logical line rather than along what is now a tarmacked road further west.
