From Coal Gate Road. 7.2 mile run up Manshead Hill and along to Crow Hill. Cracking views and great running terrain. | John Eley | 27/08/2022 |
From south by pylons but went wrong at building and went right . You should go left. Pathless ascent over tussocky grass on what I thought was the path. Much easier coming down on the real path. Extensive views from top. | Mark Sims | 31/05/2022 |

2nd of 5 hills today on a grand route starting at Mytholmroyd station and finishing at Hebden Bridge, climbing Crow Hill and then dropping down SW to join the Calderdale Way, using the Permissive path over Great Manshead Hill that climbs gradually to Manshead End.
