A simple email telling the range office when you want to go and which route you intend to follow, ie northern or southen route. They will send you the paperwork to fill in. On the day you call the guardroom to confirm your departure and again to confirm you are clear.


The easiest route is the southern from the cattle grid on the Brough/Middleton road as you do not need to cross Maize Beck.

Not sure about dogs but I would not advise it as they would have to be kept on a short lead throughout as you are crossing a shooting estate. Most estates round here will only tolerate dogs under close control on public rights of way. Ask the question in your email.
