Walk up from Stockhill Woods. Showery and cold with a bit of sleety rain. Headed down to Fair LadyWell and back to the car. Time taken 40 minutes for 1.8 miles. Wildlife: Stonechats Mallard and a few Crows. | isabelle | 02/03/2024 |
From easy parking at ST 53468 52014, ignore both RoWs and follow a dog walkers path up the hillside and follow the fence. No need to climb over fences or wall as there is a locked gate with a GOML sign about 75m short of the summit tumuli. | Martin R | 13/02/2024 |
