Route: leaving the car parked by the road near Binsey Cottage and - discovering that the planned outward track was marked ‘PRIVATE - KEEP OUT’ - running along the road north to the outskirts of Ruthwaite and then west to High Ireby where joining a bridleway first along a track and then over fields to High Houses. Turning left on a clearer track onto the shoulder, north of Binsey, and then, not strictly legally, veering left to find a track across two fields and a subsidiary summit before climbing a gate into right-to-roam land. Walking up the final ascent to Binsey and then careering down a clear soft wide grassy track to the start.
Conditions: cloudy
Pub: Emily’s Black Lion, Ireby, for Great North Eastern Brewing Company Rivet Catcher.
