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.

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.

A rough, tough concrete road out of Carperby transforms into a beautiful gravel road. Up through trees, through an old quarry & up, up to the shooting hut. Stunning.
