On Peep o'Day- Chinley Churn- Chinley- Hull End- South Head- Mt. Famine walk with Pete. Start at 1110 to allow rain to clear and cloud base to lift. It would be more satisfying to do the walk from Chinley but the high start gave us shorter options if needed. We missed a more direct route to Hull farm which would have been preferable. Summit very interesting, on top of a gritstone crag, long abandoned, interesting quarries below.pwheeler13/03/2018
Parked at Peep O'Day and climbed firstly Chinley Churn new and old then crossed the road and climbed Mount Famine and South Head. All pretty easy, pleasant and paths almost throughout.clivevilla08/11/2017
On gritstone edge- superb views in dramatic clear light, cold wind. Amongst former quarries, now sheep pasture. Accessed from Chinley station ( free carpark). Trig is c 1 km south along Edge.Denise 05/11/2017
Ascent from Chinley, stunning views with dramatic bands of grey cumulus contrasting with valley fields bright green in the sunshine. Cool in the moderate NW wind.RichardM05/11/2017
