Wheeldale Moor & Cropton Forest, North York Moors - 11 December 2011

Approx 11-12 mile walk over Wheeldale Moor. The route starts at Wheeldale Bridge and heads north along the old roman road. The route eventually meets the route of the Lyke Wake walk where we headed west. Here we crossed Wheeldale Moor passing Raven Stones and the boundary stone called Blue Man-i'-th'-Moss. After crossing the moor the route briefly heads south on the single road from Egton Bridge to Rosedale. After about 50m the route leaves the road heading south east towards Hamer Moor and Cropton Forest. The route then walks through the woodland before joining Keys Beck Road and heading north back to the starting location.
