Arden Great Moor White Stones and Thorodale

About trip

I was in the company of Dave, Jez, John and Joanne. After meeting up in Hawnby we followed the road from the village which heads west and north-west to Arden Hall. At the end of the tarmac road, just beyond the turn off to the hall we parked up by the roadside and walked up Arden Bank in a westbound direction, soon climbing beyond the tree line and making our way through a gate towards the open moor. Soon afterwards we past the site of a disused quarry and once past the quarry our ascent was completed. We could now enjoy a gentle outdoors excursion as we circled the moor. The best views to be had in the first place were behind our direction of travel, in the east to Hawnby Hill and Easterside Hill, subjects of an earlier walk in the area some years ago.
