Down though a fire break from Ladshaw Fell. The only problem was this drops you into a firing range! Lots of guns shooting at deer targets. The noise and air being cut by a bullet travelling at the speed of sound was a little scray. Stayed in the trees to get around this range and then up to the top. I set off on this walk from Craik no warning signs or at Howpasley. Be careful if going to Stock hill because you at in direct line of a stray bullet. 
Since logging this hill I have given a statement to the police. They are investigating the safety of this shooting range. The police are checking to see if the shooting club have erected warning signs in the car park at Craik and at the road end at Howpassley. | Andrew Simmons | 28/08/2021 |
Parked trackside (NT 3271 0270). Break running WNW, then N for Stock Hill first. Followed fence round to Ladshaw Fell and Craik Cross Hill. Ladder Law a diversion on the return. Rough going all the way. | jonglew | 01/03/2021 |
Used track starting N of Howpasley. Ascended Ladshaw through clear fell until I found an old FB with a deer track which took me to the summit fence. Another 400m to the top. Back down through the trees and a FB. Onto Ladder. Through trees then horrible stuff to a flat top. Followed deer track a bit N of W to track. | chrisbien | 19/09/2020 |
From track to west, using obvious firebreak. Heather and spongy tussocks make progress slow on open hill. | Colin Crawford | 11/01/2019 |
As the track to the W starts to descend you will find a small clear area on your right climb up this and enter the trees and follow rows to open fell go left to pick up grassy ascent between the heathery tussocks. | Anton | 24/08/2018 |
