Explorer Map OL26, - North York Moors (Western Area)
A delightful walk for almost any time of year, though highly recommended
in Spring and Autumn when trees can be seen at their best.
The walk is generally straightforward, but does involve crossing several
stiles on farmland. We found one of these stiles to be particularly
difficult.
Otherwise, good use is made of the railway walkway leading to Pinchinthorpe,
followed by clear tracks to Hutton Lowcross Woods.
There is a fairly steep path, narrow in places, from Roseberry Common
down to Roseberry Lane.

Some new mapping software is now available which you may want to try, - QUO mapping. You can download the software for free from the link below, complete with demonstration maps. Having installed QUO, you can import and export Memory Map overlays. Thus YOU DON'T NEED Memory Map to use any of the overlays provided on the Grey Panthers web site, - just use QUO!!
