With Carol. Park at Stainton Ground Quarries. Ascend through the quarry levels, gradually heading right (southeast) and ascending the fellside slope (eventually heading to a cairn). From this cairn, ascend a ‘nameless summit’ (1183’) before continuing to Raven’s Crag. Drop down steep slope to the col. Cross the east/west footpath and continue to The Knott (925’). Head back to the col and follow the path northwest back to the quarry car park. (Sunny but breezy on the ridge.)DABT09/07/2022
