Walk to Sutton Bank not just for the stunning scenery, but to watch gliders take off, towed by small planes, and glide back down. Sometimes they feel just an arm’s length away! A unique and thrilling sight.

Great route despite the heavy rain in previous days. Will plot a route staying more on the high moor tracks.

Meaning "filthy swamp", there are many local legends and myths surrounding this lake, such as it is bottomless (it is 6.5m deep) and was created by an earthquake that swallowed a village resulting in the lake today (it is a glacial lake).

Impossible to miss if you are following the Cleveland Way and well worth pausing to admire the view. You can see Whernside on the horizon, 31 miles away.
