Wild camping around Great Broughton



C

Guest
Hi1

Looking at walking the Cleveland Way during the easter break from Uni (been
too long without a decent walk!) - as oposed to my earlier reply to another
post about the Hadrians Wall (places to stay are easier to find on the CW!).
Anyways, using a combination of campsites, camping barns and YHA places I
have managed to find somewhere to stay (on the cheap - remember student!) on
al but one of the days. There is a campsite that I could use at Great
Broughton, but I don't really want to be leaving the CW that much to have to
return as far the next day just to find a site to camp. So the question is -
can anyone recommend a decent place to camp wild on the cleveland way around
halfway between Osmotherley and Kildale? I'm sure at som point, when I have
been browsing the google archives I have seen someone mention wildcamping
around the wain stones (which seems about an ideal mid point) - just for the
life in me can't remember who it was neother can I find it again in google!

Any suggestions greatly welcomed, if none then I suppose I will just have to
set off and find somewhere arounf halfway on an adhoc basis!

Cheers

It wouldn't surprise me if camping's not allowed there, but who's to
know? I haven't camped there but there's what looks like an ideal
flat spot on the eastern side, near here:

On our CW trip we pitched on Cold Moor, which is a short way West of Wain Stones and out of view of
civilisation. Any high ground around there is fine as far as we remember.

Cheers for that info - certainly looks a decent spot from the map - will
have to check it out on the arial photo from memory map when I get back
home.

FACT: Over 98 percent of rivers have NO ACCESS for the public. Access
along rivers is a canoeist's lifeblood. Canoes leave no trace of
passing, no noise or pollution and have little or no lasting impact on
wildlife and the water environment. All rivers and waterways should be
open to the public in the same way in which we are free to use
footpaths and highways as public rights of way. -

The problem at the Wainstones is the lack of water. If you go about 1mile
further east (around 568 036) there's a really good spring that I used to
use regularly when I lived down there. That's where I'd be aiming to pitch.
Can't remember now what the ground was like for pitching though.

Wrong ones? Does the song mean some other place?

Wain Stones on Bleaklow. The present discussion appears to be about the
Wainstones on the North York Moors which aren't marked on the 1". Bill
Cowley did however mention them in his guide to the Lyke Wake Walk.

You're right - I didn't read closely enough.

Looks like another good one to consider - cheers - hadn't noticed that
spring when I was looking at the maps earlier!

Gives me another spot to look at when i am on the ground - cheers.

It could be me you're thinking of. I camped in a nice soft grassy field just
below the west end of the Wainstones about 2+1/2 years ago. NZ 555 034 is
roughly the spot but it is a crossroads for paths.

As others have said, there is no water point there so you need to carry it
in. As I ran out the next morning when cooking breakfast I had to 'struggle'
to the Lord Stones Cafe on Carlton Bank for a water top-up. And a nice hot
chocolate drink. And a bacon roll...

My key walking plan for this year is to finish the other half of the CW from
Roseberry Topping to Scarborough.

Quite possibly was you that I was thinking of! Thanks for the spot - gives
me another one to look at when there!

On the water front, there seems to be an abundance of springs around the
previous few miles of the path that I was thinking of using. Also one of the
Geocahes that I plan to visit is within a few hundred yards of about 3 or 4
springs marked on the map - and thats only just over a mile from the wain
stones themselves.

Chers for the info
