Although it starts out as a substantial track, beyond Thorpe under Stone, this footpath leads only to the main road in Swaledale where there are no other paths leading on, and is thus little used by walkers, rapidly becoming fainter beyond the next gate. Sheep and other livestock wander freely, and whilst it is a military training area, I don't think it sees much live shooting. Interestingly, although this is the only right of way marked on the map, and the Army seem keen that you don't stray from it, once within the area, signposts suggest a number of other paths branching off to left and right.
