The bridleway follows a good Landrover track just below Windegg Scar, and as the Valley of Shaw Beck drops away into Arkengarthdale, excellent views up the dale open up. The expanse of bare stones on the right of the photo is a mine waste tip from nineteenth century lead working on the Freemans Vein above. The woodland beyond Stang Lane is Eskeleth Wood, which shows promise of being bigger in the future as there is quite a lot of new planting in tree shelters in the valley upstream. On the far horizon are Rogans Seat and Water Crag, within a few metres of the same height on Gunnerside and Arkengarthdale Moors.
