"There were no further major flare ups in the forestry area yesterday. Work continues in some areas to drench the ground and target hotspots.
We’ve had reports of walkers and cyclists by-passing the closure signs over the weekend and being in areas where we're working.
We ask that people follow the guidance and closures for their safety and the safety of those working at the scene.
Details of the cycle/walking route diversions can be found on the North York Moors National Park website https://www.northyorkmoors.org.uk/
Some of the laybys remain closed and there’s still some speed limit restrictions in place. Information on these can be found at https://www.northyorks.gov.uk/north-yorkshire-local-resilience-forum/north-yorkshire-local-resilience-forum-news/langdale-and-fylingdales-area-wildfire#travel
