| Parked at road/track juction just N of Brownrigg Farm. Started on the eastern perimeter woodland path, which had a stream flowing down it before heading up to the top. Descended directly on the path to the SE. Limited views from the top in late afternoon. Very wet underfoot throughout. With Gillian. | richard69 | 29/12/2023 |
