Beautiful walk! Was confusing at the beginning and came off route (not realising you need to go through the caravan site), once back on there is fields, woodland and stunning views on Blakey Ridge. It was muddy when I did this so watch your footing coming down from the old railway to Rosedale
Good route, well signed. Few boggy fields in Rosedale, the decent down to Rosedale was very slippy / boggy so would advise using the road. (or just go in summer)
