From Jubilee Tower with Lesley via Grit Fell, on to Ward's Stone both tops and scrambled up the stone. Then joined track on north side near toffs canteen hut, visited the Goldsworthy stone constructions. Across ridge to join initial path. Superb day and views. Boggy lower slopes but suprisingly rest of walk dry underfoot, even off path and over peat.Nick Canute18/10/2022

Parked Tower Lodge, SD604539. North up track and across fields to Tarnbrook. North up track to its end and on path past butts to pathless summit plateau. Outcrop at west end looks higher than cairn on a hag. Descended east to track at SD618582. Followed this to Tarnbrook and back over to Tower Lodge. Very hot day.Flatfield10/08/2022

From carpark at Jubilee Tower. A warm day and the bog was pretty dry making this an easy ascent to Grit Fell and both trigs on Ward’s Stones plateau. The actual hight point is a peat hag 60m west of the second trig. There’s a small cairn on top not visible till you jump up there. For those attempting this jaunt when the bog is wet beware its an 8 mile round trip, and with bog hopping and dodging will take a good while to complete. Despite this being a sunny summer day I only met one other walker. Lovely to be alone, but do go properly prepared.Pete West04/06/2021
