access

The track up to Carlton Bank is marked as a Bridleway, (green hatched lines with diamonds). As part of the Coast-to-Coast, Lyke Wake Walk, Cleveland Way, it is a well marked footpath, with sign posts and millstones set into the ground. Either follow the dolomite track to the gliding club, 15 -20 mins or the harder more direct route (clearly marked) to the cairn, up and round past the quarry. Take-off is about 50m past the cairn (408m) in the natural shallow hollow just off the path. The area used by hang gliders to rig and set up is quite noticeable as a rectangle of grass, where the heather has been worn away.
