Parked just off the road at 15203520 beside the salt bins. Walked down the road and followed the path up through the wood to the gate then up over the field and down to the gate at 16223547. Crossed the boggy field to the fence, climb over and up to the top. Return to the gate then head over to Clint Crags WO at 245m. Return to the path and back to the start.smocks and denims23/10/2023

Limited parking on narrow grass verge in Blindcrake. Followed AW's circuit, but his BoOF is OoD - the BW barriers are gone, but there are no waymarkers on his Southern return leg, the start of which, near pt.187, is a cow churned mudfest. Also, the highest point now seems to be a man-made spoil heap, who's BWF can be negatiated where it is collapsed adjacent to the mapped water pool.Isbjorn03/01/2022

Parked in Blindcrake, and took the path up to Alisson House Farm to Wainwright top, then climbed over collapsed barb wire fence to true summit. Walked SE to Thakray cottage, Thakray wood and path to village. Beware of aggressive cows!Lazylizzie27/09/2020

A loop extension from the Wainwright summit. The barbed wire fence is easily negotiated. The tiny cairn at the summit is so overgrown that I only realised it was there when I felt the stones under my feet. Grandstand views into the quarry, with its still, flooded craters. Also visited high point of limestone pavement.Nick Down115/10/2017

With Wainwright summit. Parked on grass verge to north of Blindcrake at NY 15350 35410. Walked SW along road for c300m to public footpath. Wainwright summit now sports tiny cairn. Carried on along PROW to gate then turned left and followed fence up to limestone pavement. Crossed this to highest point which is an obvious grassy edge with short drop.David Gradwell16/01/2016

Did Wainwright walk from Blindcrake - slight detour to this top - moss covered limestone pavement proved tricky. Top is at northern end of small wood.citygent01/10/2015
From E. Nice bit of limestone pavement. Visited the other 2 tops years ago but not the P30.RHW17/05/2015

by FP from 151,351.WO and Tump. Tump summit is the tiny 250m ring contour which I made NY16396,35499. There is a higher point at 16170,35573 but this presumably is a mature quarry spoil heap which doesn't count?Crib Goch01/02/2015
