Overview

Leaving West Tanfield we pick up the Ripon Rowel to Mickley. From Mickley we head off on field paths and lanes before a stretch on quite lanes to take us past the quarry and into North Stainley. From North Stainley we pick the Ripon Rowel up again to follow the river back to the cars in West Tanfield.
