Memorable circular walk. Started well with great views. Thick fog rapidly descended and we arrived back just too late at the castle car park- they'd locked it!! £70 taxi ride back to Manchester followed by car collection the next day made it the most expensive walk in a long while.Lazylizzie03/02/2024
5 of 10 as part of 27 mile bike ride. From hills bank the road seemed to climb for a long way. Gasping by the time reached the top. Headed to the castle first then off reading round to the old man then the trigThe-Z-Man13/01/2024

Circular walk from Ackers CrossingDan Baddeley05/07/2020
1000th hill bagged with this one today. Parked near folly and headed up towards trig point with family in tow. Surprisingly difficult to find - looked near masts and finally worked out we had to go back down and come up from below, going past the Old Man of Mow. Very windy and cold so we took a quick picture and scarpered.Wheelsy20/02/2020

Here to bag the trig pillar and spy out the rock. Hadn't realized there was a bag on HB for the trig. Roadside parking to the W. Trig and rock easily accessible on a NT track.jonglew04/11/2017
