yet another domed sheep pasture with no views in rain and fog. From Road to W. With Tony J, Graham & Richard. Feeling wet. Onto High Haume and from High Moor.Denise 30/12/2021
From road to NW via field track in mist. Levelish sheep pasture with sheep. Rain and a light wind.RichardM30/12/2021
Easy walk from Gate to N. Field heavily covered in 90cm strands of gosamer. Boots turned white on descent. Great views.GordonAdshead13/11/2021
Easy off-road parking in the quarry entrance. The entrance gate is locked but, if you climb the fence alongside, there is a feint track leading up to the field boundary. Negotiate an awkward fence but then you are in the summit field. More hidden ascent than direct from the road.moorsman13/05/2021
