This was rather overgrown at first, so I doubt many use it.
I came down the ridge after a JNLC leg 1 recce earlier in the year, I'd continued on to leg 2 as far as Hart Crag. I hit the road by a bus stop just southeast of Deepdale Bridge. I think there was a large wooden gate and a small stone stile next to it. Don't remember any of it being over grown although I don't think the bit through the last field was well trodden so probably not obvious in the opposite direction.
I enjoyed the descent down that ridge.
