The Grey Panthers

This is a very "straightforward" walk, which doesn't really need any maps.
The walk starts from the car park at Egton Bridge (beside the Catholic Church). then takes the track (Barnard's Road) towards Grosmont.
A farm road is then taken to climb up to Lease Rigg before descending into Grosmont itself.
The return from Grosmont is from the railway station, through the car park, and then beside the road to return to Barnard's Road track.
