8. Beck Dale and Ash Dale, 14th September, 2014

Lots of pay and display parking around but I found a free spot in Church Street. Helmsley is full of bikers and delis. I rather like the chilli-ed up sausage rolls you get at Hunters. So I got one and ate it sitting at the foot of the Gilbert Scott's Faversham memorial while a biker collecting money for a hospital charity got into an argument with an old lady who thought he was being aggressive. Then back down Church Street to pick up the path down Beck Dale heading off to the right just before the edge of the town. Up Beck Dale. Over the fields between High Baxton's Farm and Middle Baxton's Farm. Back to Hemsley by Ash Dale. There's very detailed directions to be had for this in chapter 9 of Paddy Dillon's Cicerone North York Moors guide. But it's a very straightforward walk on well-signposted paths. Various possibilities for getting sidetracked are helpfully labelled "Private. Keep out." This was not a particularly exciting or memorable walk. But there are worse things to do if you find yourself in Helmsley and have finsihed looking at the castle.
