Solo from Clapham P & D car park. There’s room for 2/3 cars on Thwaite Lane at its junction with Crummack Lane, one of which was still available when I passed, so I could have saved some dosh and some leg work! Nevertheless it was an excellent walk. Crummack Dale is a lovely place and the summit affords cracking views through 360°. Very warm, very enjoyable. | ADT | 18/07/2021 |

From Smearsett Scar followed rights of way to the minor road to the north. Visited the viewpoint above Dry Rigg Quarry and took the right of way climbs Moughton Scar, by the side of the quarry. When this ends at a wall,a wall stile gives access to the open hill. Moughton has the most amazing limestone pavement, as well as great views. In descent. followed the Dales High Way to Feizor and walked along the road to the layby on the B6480. | Sprog | 05/10/2019 |
