easy park sd 9136 3388 up oil track to circle drill site 5 am so dark so bearing to TP but no need as definite path but very wet return same 5.5 ks 1 hr 30 | underhill | 29/02/2024 |
Parked in the map marked car park to the WSW. Took the road and Bronte Way round to the NW and the permissive path, past the Abbott Stone, to the trig. Dusk approaching but still some distant views. Cold wind on the top. Glad to see some stone barriers built near the top helping to trap water to help preserve the peat bog. Solo. | richard69 | 14/12/2023 |
From Wycoller CP ... up the Pendle Way then ROWs to the heathery Combe Hill, eventually finding a minor path through it by the fence line to Little Wolf Stones. Back down to the road and along Bronte Way until north of Lad Law. An ATV route goes up to the broad ridge, petering into a narrow path to the summit Trig and boulder. Returned via various ROWs back to Wycoller CP. | summitter | 02/12/2023 |

Parked near spot height 341 above Widdop Resevoir. Walked up to oil road and back round by Grey Stone Edge. Quite a lot off track but all enjoyable and great views. | HardenC | 19/10/2023 |
Loop around from end of track. 6km in 1hr 30. Was quite wet under foot off the main track, so came back a less direct root and ended up knee deep in bog. Straight up and down is probably the best bet! | Nicky C | 15/08/2023 |
Solo. From the carpark to the west of Wycoller. Along to the delightful village of Wycoller, up the track to Raven Rock Farm and along field paths via Beaver Farm and then the moorland path to the Trig Point of Lad Law. Stood on the large rock that is the highest point. On the return used paths via Germany Farm and the Thorn Edge farms to reach the road west of the carpark. A beautiful summer afternoon. | pwbellarby | 08/08/2023 |

With Val. From 352m high point WSW of summit and followed track to its end then path to TP. Got back down to the track and realised that the TP is not the highest point so went back to enable The hill to be ticked with a clear conscience. Lots of fly tipping on the road at the parking area | mike.hoult | 10/05/2019 |
