And further up Kingsdale - not sure on the parking that far up, as the road is single track with passing places once you get past the bottom of Whernside (again from memory). It used to be a gated road for much of the length, but can't remember where the gates are (one is just coming out of Dentdale I think)

'Twas a bit boggy along the edge of the plantation. Also anyone know how long the duckboards that have been put down on the path below West Buckstones? They seem to be there to allow Mountain Bikers to cross the boggy stretch to the flagged path over the red bog. Which is a shame. I don't know who's put them down, but they're plastic and don't fit in with the moor at all.

Those plastic duckboards have been down for a while now, I don't know how/why they came to be there but in the years I've been running thereabouts it's always been very boggy - perhaps it was just to control erosion? I'd be surprised if facilitating mountain bikers was the rationale behind it. Did you notice that one of them was broken? So much for indestructible.
