Start: 10 am prompt
The walk starts from Lockton which is a village just to the East of the A169 Pickering - Whitby road approx 5 miles North of Pickering.
We are meeting on the road into Lockton. There is off-road parking on the Right opposite the cemetery. This is almost immediately (100m) after you turn off the A169. If you are not sure about parking on the grassy area, there is plenty of roadside parking further into the village. We will start the walk by walking through Lockton.

This is a lovely walk initially heading down into Lockton Wood before tackling the climb out of Cross Dale, crossing the A169 at the Fox & Rabbit and walking across to Dalby Forest. It's a fairly strenuous walk on mostly good paths & farm tracks. A lot of the walking is through woodland areas currently showing their full array of autumnal colours.
I hope the walk will come in under 9 miles, though today's recce has forced a route change which extends my original walk but is easier walking.
