| 2nd Marilyn of the day. Parked at Jeffery's hill Car Park.. Very Muddy, well more like walking on a peat water filled sponge. Looks like grass till you stand on it. My Gps Track looks like a drunk path :) | Deego | 13/04/2024 |

| Walked from Longridge. Direct path a bit squishy, there is a less obvious path from parking area which joins main path and avoids most of the wet areas | Buteobuteo | 21/05/2022 |

| One I had never got round to walking: a delightful late summer day after a long drive from the south coast presented the opportunity. A short walk from the parking area on the road to the west, and the views north to Parlick/Dunsop fells excellent. Oh for a decent camera! | JOHNS | 28/08/2021 |
