From good parking and track at NO 992619. From CP, over gate and ahead on gravel track. When this veers left, straight ahead (past elderberry bush) into green grassy swathe. The path gradually improves and becomes more distinct. Once on moor, it is very good. Evidence of old atv in parts. Lovely walk.carole engel23/07/2022

An easy walk from the parking area across the road from the phone mast; the mapped mast E of the road does not exist.
