Feels very remote here, but you're not really far away from civilisation. Pick your route. North up a stiff climb to Greets Moss. West on Apedale Road on exquisite gravel. South towards Castle Bolton with a great gravel option leading to the Sweet William Hut & Carperby.

Stayed the night here on a rather cold night in early March. Despite the cold the weather was sunny and I had a wonderful sleep. Although don't expect to get a mobile reception. I must say a big thank you to the Bolton Estate for allowing walkers/cyclists/bikepackers to use this wonderful facility. If you use it please make sure you leave it as you would expect to find it.
