| Parked up on the B road, and walked downhill on the tarmac lane, through two gate then headed off to the right over access land, down to a bridge meeting the Nidderdale Way, and found a way up to the summit. On the way back we followed the Nidderdale Way again, but the longer track back round the valley to reach the car. The hardest bit was back up to the car! Nice enough summit, about 1 hour. | nickywood1 | 19/08/2021 |

| 16.00 one and a half miles up white road and half mile up dirt track. Convenient pull in for three cars, just below a mere 35m.-ish of accent. Just getting my boots and coat on and middle aged lady drives up, winds down window and in polite enquiring tone says, 'Are you lost' Sort of anticipating I might be about to be told off by a GOML, I answer brightly. Do I look lost then?'. `well when a car is this far up the track, they're usually lost' 'Ah, okay, well I'm just going for a quick walk up this hill and then I'm away. It's a minor hill on a list of N Yorkshire Hill summits' 'Hill..! She withered,' more like a slag heap. Be careful as there's a deep mine shaft up there and some of the fencing round it may be broken.'.' Okay, thanks for the advice. I'll beware ' The mineshaft wasn't far above me and the square of wooden fence and barbed wire plus warning sign was pretty intact and clear. I picked up a rock to lob into the hole. Over 3-4 seconds I heard it bounce 16 times as it bounce | vegibagger | 19/11/2019 |

| Parking just before or just after the gate marking the end of the tarmac road running north from opposite the quarry at Greenhow Hill (alt 1177ft). The public road does continue to the mines and is perfectly drivable.
