Does anyone know if whoever lives in Sleddale minds walkers using the path that connects the two public rights of way either side?
Assuming you mean the public footpaths that approach Sleddale Farm from Guisborough Forest / Sleddale Road.... There is no public right of way way between the two and the farmer (sometimes) frowns upon people who think there should be. Best not to upset him I'd have thought!
As someone who remembers the Joe and Petunia Country Code public information film from the 1960's 70's with the farmer "doing one of those county dances" I shall abide by that code.
