Easy drive-up. There's a small car park right on the summit, but both it and the slightly larger car park across the B5408 were full so I parked a little way along St Katherine's Drive.Tony J04/01/2024

2nd tump of 7 today plus 1 boundary. Alighting from 575 bus in Aspull I explored Haigh hill then took footpath towards Freezeland farm veering off on footpath past Copperas house continuing into Blackrod to stand on car park edge next to church wall. Continuing to Winter Hill boundary. Bolton completed.Dazingdale25/11/2017
