Dales Way through Hag End then open access ascent to Grandsire. Path over to School Knott then ROWs until ENE of Heathwaite Hill. Helpfully a gate gives access into the steep adjacent field so easy walk to the woodland wall above. I surmounted it at its highest point and found the summit mound pretty quickly. Back onto ROWs towards Unnamed School Knott, heading over open ground once N of the summit. Over the stone dyke to Cleabarrow Hill then southerly descent to my camper parked below. | summitter | 08/10/2023 |
