A big 11.4-mile day, 270 metres of ascent and around five hours, crossing Commondale Moor on the flagged Quakers' Causeway before dropping into the conifers of Guisborough Forest and climbing to the crag of Highcliff Nab. Start in Commondale village, which has limited roadside parking and its own request stop on the Esk Valley line, so the train is the tidier option. The forest tracks are ideal for running a dog loose and there are becks to drink from, but the moorland half is grouse ground with loose sheep, leads are required there from 1 March to 31 July, and Highcliff Nab has an unfenced drop.
