Overview

We will start from the green at Reeth and walk to Reeth and Grinton bridges taking an uphill path just after the Grinton church  passing blue ball to low and High Harker hill passing the shooters lodge (possible lunch stop) continuing on we take a path towards old moor gate and make our way down to Stubbin farm and follow river path to cross the swing bridge over the River Swale and we're back in Reeth.

The up hill path at Grinton has a couple of stiles. There is a dry beck to cross where we meet the track which leads up Harker hills but footing on these tracks is good. Excellent views in all directions but it is open ex mining up here. our return is mainly on paths that  diagonally cross the  main tractor access road
