I began by having a quick look round Byland Abbey. THis erned me the right to use one of the linited spaces in the Eaglish Heritage car park while I took this short walk. It started with a pleasant path over a couple of fields to Wass. From here a path leads through the woods to the derelict Mount Snever Observatory. I bet this is nice at any time. But on a beuatiful May day like today with the woods awash with bluebells, forget-me-not, stichwort, herb robert, red campion, wild garlic, it was utterly heavenly. From the observatory I climed steeply down toward Oldstead where I cut a corner by taking the track towards the Oldstead Hall and leaving it for a path on the right which climbs up through woods and then skirts alongside them to the road. Right bere than left down the drive of Oldstead Grange. The path here goes right through the farm policies and is not very clearly marked but a farm worker put me right and about a mile of footpath over fields lay between me and the abbey, The last few fields were cow populated with those slightly alarming signs on the stiles showing a bll's head. But the beast wewre all a reassuring distance away and took no interest in me.
