Stay with the track as it descends to Bellhill farm. Cross another cattle-grid, and then turn left through an area where the farm buildings have been converted to residential use. Locate a gate to the right of the original Bellhill farmhouse. Descend briefly to a field gate and then go down a track beside a fence. At the bottom, turn right at a waymark and then bear left to a ford and footbridge, where you meet Udale Beck again.

Over the bridge, walk up a stony track, but keep an eye open for a waymarked step-stile beside a metal gate on the right. Cross this to gain a rising track around the edge of a small woodland, above which it continues beside a fence. The track leads to wooded Sweet Beck, centred in a narrow ravine. Cross this and then walk up to Skellow Barn.

Swing right past the barn on a raised grassy track and shortly walk alongside a wall. Cross a stile beside a gate, soon going left at another gate onto a track rising to Cragg farm, where the outward route is joined. Now simply turn left to return to the start.
