Parked just off the road at 15203520 beside the salt bins. Walked down the road and followed the path up through the wood to the gate then up over the field and down to the gate at 16223547. Crossed the boggy field to the fence, climb over and up to the top. Return to the gate then head over to Clint Crags WO at 245m. Return to the path and back to the start. | smocks and denims | 23/10/2023 |

As others, from Blindcrake, taking in the Wainwright top on the way | Colin Crawford | 27/07/2023 |
From west, parking to north of start of FP. Wainwright summit first then on to top by quarry through open gate and crossing fence where it is down. | PeterD | 21/04/2023 |
With Sue from Blindcrake, parked car just of village and followed BP to top and small cairn in the grass and Tump. Return to start same way. | Frank | 02/03/2023 |
Limited parking on narrow grass verge in Blindcrake. Followed AW's circuit, but his BoOF is OoD - the BW barriers are gone, but there are no waymarkers on his Southern return leg, the start of which, near pt.187, is a cow churned mudfest. Also, the highest point now seems to be a man-made spoil heap, who's BWF can be negatiated where it is collapsed adjacent to the mapped water pool. | Isbjorn | 03/01/2022 |
Parked in Blindcrake village then easy path to Wainwright top then onto highest point. | Alan Caine | 10/07/2021 |

After Wainwright top, with Colin. Make sure you have the correct co-ords for this top- I didn't. | Andrew Pearson | 15/04/2021 |
Parked in Blindcrake, and took the path up to Alisson House Farm to Wainwright top, then climbed over collapsed barb wire fence to true summit. Walked SE to Thakray cottage, Thakray wood and path to village. Beware of aggressive cows! | Lazylizzie | 27/09/2020 |
Clints Crags, Wainwright and Tump, using footpath from Blindcrake. Parked just up the hill by a grit bin. | PGCE | 10/06/2020 |

A loop extension from the Wainwright summit. The barbed wire fence is easily negotiated. The tiny cairn at the summit is so overgrown that I only realised it was there when I felt the stones under my feet. Grandstand views into the quarry, with its still, flooded craters. Also visited high point of limestone pavement. | Nick Down1 | 15/10/2017 |
With Jenx and Bryher from Blindcrake, up the track cum RoW and threaded through cattle to summit, onto the Tump top after for less glorious fun on the slags... | nordicstar | 25/07/2017 |

Visit to spoil heap summit | jimbloomer | 27/04/2017 |
Parked by the green in Blindcrake....with Nathaniel | Dave | 23/04/2017 |
Spoil heap on edge of quarry is clearly higher, and is becoming vegetated. Visited it just in case. | mae | 01/01/2017 |
From Blindcrake village on Row to Sunderland. Minor detour to this pleasant limestone pavement. Excellent views. Access no problem. Back same way and re-bagged the Wainwright top | Hillsidenick | 23/04/2016 |
With Wainwright summit. Parked on grass verge to north of Blindcrake at NY 15350 35410. Walked SW along road for c300m to public footpath. Wainwright summit now sports tiny cairn. Carried on along PROW to gate then turned left and followed fence up to limestone pavement. Crossed this to highest point which is an obvious grassy edge with short drop. | David Gradwell | 16/01/2016 |
Did Wainwright walk from Blindcrake - slight detour to this top - moss covered limestone pavement proved tricky. Top is at northern end of small wood. | citygent | 01/10/2015 |
From E. Nice bit of limestone pavement. Visited the other 2 tops years ago but not the P30. | RHW | 17/05/2015 |
This higher ground was covered after WO as I remarked in my photo diary. | Nick Caunt | 19/03/2015 |
A short walk from Blindcrake. | Neil Haslewood | 05/02/2015 |
by FP from 151,351.WO and Tump. Tump summit is the tiny 250m ring contour which I made NY16396,35499. There is a higher point at 16170,35573 but this presumably is a mature quarry spoil heap which doesn't count? | Crib Goch | 01/02/2015 |
With Eire, Evan, Sail, Danu, Coel & Alfie. We also went to Sunderland Heads (228m). | Dangerous Dave | 16/04/2014 |

From Blindcrake. | Lionel Bidwell | 21/03/2013 |
From lane at road above Blindcake. Followed track - became a wet squelch. Over gate, clint is hill (W) to right, Crags behind, higher?. Earthen mound is quarry spoil and higher by some amount! Access OK | nordicstar | 18/01/2012 |
