Parked in the layby in Rylstone on B6265. Took the roundabout path past the church to avoid heavy traffic on the road (no footpath), and up on to the moor. Permissive muddy path then follows the wall all the way to the war memorial and hp. Visited the cross on the return. Deceptively long distance along the wall. Views of higher tops towards the NW hidden by cloud but good view of Sharp Haw. Solo. | richard69 | 15/12/2023 |
