Overview

We will use field paths and tracks with a stretch of walking on a quiet road. There are several stiles, mostly in the morning. We'll have coffee at Markington village hall where there are benches and lunch in woods not far from Ingerthorpe before proceeding to Ripon where we will follow the River Skell through Hall Wath Nature  Reserve into the town.
