Followed D Dave's route. Forest road to a gate where an overgrown track/path climbs between Winter Hill and Low Craignell. From its high point we took deer tracks up to this minor top then along the undulating ridge to Darnaw. After doubling back to Craignell it was a straightforward descent SE from the summit to the forest road. 2.5hrs. | summitter | 27/01/2023 |

There is a faint traversing path/line running round from Low Craignell to the col below Darnaw - quite hard to find but good if you do. | 49pp | 12/06/2021 |
