Kildale Loop

Leaving Kildale towards Battersby take a left turn heading up towards Park Nab rocky outcrop. Follow the road uphill and along the ridge road. Where the road drops to the left down to Baysdale continue straight ahead onto the moor along the Cleveland Way for around 1km before turning left slightly uphill across the moor and dipping down to Armouth Wath and a disused building. Follow the moorland track steepy up at first and then steady across the moor. At a junction bear right rather than following the official bridleway to the woods - this is just an unnecessary get off and walk for a couple of hundred yards. Follow the track until you see a small wood on the right hand side - look out for a small track at the start of the wood and scramble down to a perfect little packhorse bridge. Cross the bridge and head straight ahead looking out for the cairns on the horizon. DO NOT be tempted to follow the main track bearing left as this is incorrect. The track across the moor can be boggy and is rocky but this eases after abit and is a great run down the the road. On hitting the road turn left and drop steeply down to Hob Hole. Splash through the ford and mid way up the bank o the other side take a left along a bridleway. Follow this until you reach a disused barn and then bear right, north up a steep but short hill, across the moor dropping down with Warren Chimney ahead in the distance. Drop down a grassy field and then follow the track up beside the chimney to the farm and join the road to head down to the start point
