yes, the area from Tower to Cadshaws would form part of the return section of my route but the other way to which you went in the RR50.
The moor has a lot of clear, established tracks and the races up there take place mostly on them. I'm not sure if they all apply for a UU permit but the process certainly got more onerous in the few years I was hosting up there.

Advice on Government Website
THE 20 YEAR RULE WOULD PROBABLY GIVE SOME REASSURANCE
You have the right to access some land for walking or certain other leisure activities.
You can:
use public roads and pavements or public rights of way, for example footpaths or bridleways
use your right to roam on open access land including mountains, moors, heaths, downs, common land and some land around the England Coast Path
If neither of these apply, you may still be able to access private land if:
the land was used as a public right of way in the past - check old maps and documents
the land was accessed by the public for at least 20 years and nobody has asked them to stop
the landowner has given permission (‘permissive access’)
I didn't - but I accidentally stumbled on this thread when searching for concession paths as I've just found a new local one I never knew existed! It goes along the ridge between Sponds Hill and Shining Tor - from Charles Head south. That path *is* on Open Street Map.
