From Tarnbrook. Track over Rugged Crag on OS 2018 map barely exists. | peter4lc | 25/06/2024 |
An evening walk in the sun. I parked at the Jubilee Tower and took the extremely boggy path up to Grit Fell. I then walked down the ridge to Clougha Pike where unfortunately a loved up couple pulled in front of me just as I arrived from another path and did their best to obstruct any photos. Then back to the Grit Fell summit and then up to Ward's Stone for the summit and two trigpoints, and a particularly good sunset. 18.3km. Conditions not bad underfoot today, very wet coming up but across the top it was ok. /D | meltdiceburg | 14/06/2024 |

Jubilee Tower - Grit Fell - Ward's Stone - Wolfhole Crag - White Hill - Cross of Greet. With JH, AB, PW. | Mark Jackson | 19/06/2021 |
From carpark at Jubilee Tower. A warm day and the bog was pretty dry making this an easy ascent to Grit Fell and both trigs on Wards Stones plateau. The actual hight point is a peat hag 60m west of the second trig. Theres a small cairn on top not visible till you jump up there. For those attempting this jaunt when the bog is wet beware its an 8 mile round trip, and with bog hopping and dodging will take a good while to complete. Despite this being a sunny summer day I only met one other walker. Lovely to be alone, but do go properly prepared. | Pete West | 04/06/2021 |

Dry paths from Jubilee Tower to Ward's Stone via Grit Fell.Warm day but hazy views. | catman | 02/06/2020 |
From Lee, there is parking beyond the no more parking sign. Up Tarnbrook syke path and then West to the breast. Here a stream goes under the track and a decent enough path snakes up to the weather station and Western trig. Somewgat muted views today but still clear enough to see Southern Lakes etc. Easy over to peat hag and Eastern trig. 8 Eng/Wal Marilyns left now..

3/3 - lengthy walk from Cross of Greet to take in all three Dewey Summits - fine and dry underfoot. Took a little longer than expected - it's quite a long one | wychwood | 25/05/2020 |
11.5 mile walk from road west of Tarnbrook, plenty of space to park 0.5 miles before the hamlet, walked into hamlet then took permissive track north up to contouring track followed this then another trail right up to the summit (first time bagged since 2005), afterwards followed surprisingly easy and dry ridge all the way to Wolfhole Crag, turned back then took permissive track back down to Tarnbrook. After this we drove to and bagged Nicky Nook and then Williamson Park. Warm and sunny with clear skies but slightly hazy, had good views of the Dales peaks but not of the Lakes. Saw 5 other people. | DanTrig | 20/05/2020 |

From Tarnbrook. Drove past Last Parking notice near Lee and one mile up the public road then parked safely and legally on grass verge half a mile west of Tarnbrook. Up access land on good track as far as 591574, then rough track past a line of shooting butts. I found little trace of any track or path anywhere near the summit. Down via the breast which I found to be longer and rougher. | Topographer57 | 06/08/2019 |
With Val. From Tarnbrook. Parked about half a mile west of Tarnbrook and followed track from Tarnbrook north up hill. At track junction headed west then found a faint path heading up towards the TP. Past the weather? station and onto the west TP. Followed a path across the surprisingly dry plateau to the east TP then onto the cairned peat hag which is the highest point. Back same route.

Ascended from Tarnbrook, climbed up Ward's Stone Breast to get to western trig point then yomped it east to get the other one, descended via path along valley back to Tarnbrook. | Magellan76 | 20/02/2018 |
HP is peat hag 80 p west of eastern trig on this double trig hill. There are also some impressive outcrops of gritstone easy to summit. The sun was setting with an amazing and changing array of oranges and blues, with lights twinkling along the coast of Morecambe Bay, with great views across to the Pennine on ascent. A superb day.. We descended initially over rough frozen moorland then on a good track to Tarnbrook hamlet. | Denise | 07/01/2018 |
From car park opp Jubilee Twr. Clougha Pike first; on to Wolfhole Crag. HP is a small isolated peat hag with a few stones on top. A day of sunshine (a little) and blizzards (a lot). | jonglew | 25/11/2017 |
From Tarnbrook. Good track and path to end of grouse butts, then easy enough walking in the cloud to both trigs and summit. Friendly farmers out on quads to round up sheep - but too much cloud! | Minto | 03/11/2017 |

Busy summit. About ten people which seemed a lot for a Wednesday in early Jamuary. Via Grit Fell. Mucky underfoot. Lots of grouse | trimarc2 | 04/01/2017 |
A great walk from Tarnbrook with all the heather in glorious full bloom. Up Tarnbrook Wyre track, then along the ridge (plateau?) to the trigs; back down on an argocat track from the solar/wind powered whatever it is, to join the Tarnsyke clough track. Discovered that my map is a little out of date (many new tracks) but map was not needed on such a stunningly clear day. | Gill | 26/08/2016 |
A quick dash up from Lancaster. There is some good bouldering up there and even a couple of short routes one of which I did. | Pete Pozman | 21/07/2016 |

On a sunny clear day with Brian and his friend Vernon. Good laugh, great views. | Mark T | 04/09/2015 |
Started at Jubilee Tower taking soggy path up to Grit Fell. From there over surprisingly dry ground to Ward's Stone and then on to Wolfhole Crag following concession path. Returned using land rover track to south of Tarnbrook Fell then down by infant River Grizedale and back up tarmac road. Excellent views of Morecombe Bay and Blackpool Tower. | SS | 31/08/2015 |

Second ascent from Jubilee Tower. The previous one was in mist in August 2008. | JohnW | 02/10/2014 |
Walked up from Abbeystead via Tarnbrook on a hot but windy day. Easy tracks all the way up as they've been built for grouse shooting. You're not supposed to take dogs in case they disturb the toffs day out. We did & didn't see a soul in 6 hours. Path runs out & it's very boggy on top. Avoid in very wet weather & in grouse shooting season, | Lazylizzie | 18/07/2014 |

Revisit with Ted, Paul, David and Dusty on a damp day trig bagging, bench marking, geocaching and sinking in a bog or two. | Dugswell2 | 05/04/2014 |
Up with a load of trig point baggers. After finding our third and final trig point of the walk we took the short walk over to this top trying its best to hide in the mist. | Father Ted | 05/04/2014 |
Trigging day with Ted, Paul, Douglas and Dusty. Damp and misty. | dal | 05/04/2014 |

Up from Tarnbrook. A most enjoyable walk - no bog at all. | Chris Peart | 29/11/2013 |
With Kev, Jenny and Jill from Jubilee Tower, Although Kev didn't stand on the peat hag so can't tick it. | mindlessflogger | 10/11/2013 |
Excellent parking in Tarnbrook village just beyond the first house. Went up Wolfhole Crag first but, there is direct access to Ward Stones along a shooting track from the western end of the village. Track stops after some shooting butts but the final section across the moor is quite easy. Actual summit is difficult to establish, but it is on top of one of the peat hags. | moorsman | 01/10/2013 |
Oo a miserable wet August day. Went up from Jubilee Tower (81 mins up - 71 mins down). A boggy walk but I've done worse. Operated for SOTA and made 32 contacts on VHF and short wave from the western trig point and rocks. Erected beach shelter to counter the rain and stayed for 3 hours! | G4OBK (Phil) | 21/08/2013 |
With Jo, circular walk from Jubilee Tower: Grit Fell, Wards Stone (West), Wards Stone (East), returning over Black Side of Wards Stone to Brownley Hill, then as outward route. Weather; generally sunny with occasional high cloud, warm, good visibility. | amblerbob | 18/07/2013 |
Second ascent both from Jubilee Tower | PeteF | 08/06/2013 |
From Jubilee tower to Grit fell then over Cabin flat, which I would describe as 'soft' rather than boggy (although there WERE some spots..) Visited both trigs and although the one at the western end is supposed to be the lowest (According to the OS map) it certainly doesn't look like it. Retraced my steps to the shooter's track and followed it down over Margery's hill to Rakehouse barn. | hillhiker | 05/05/2013 |
A wonderful, secluded spot. Difficult to get to. If you ascend over Grit fell then Cabin flat can be very boggy and hard to get over. I would recommend parking in Abbeystead (parking is limited) and heading up over Wolfhole Crag. Wards stone offers a nice pile of rocks and a trig point about half a mile away which marks the summit | BuryFCA1 | 04/02/2013 |
Straight there & back to the Queen's Chair trig from Jubilee Tower. Mostly sunny but very cold, most of the bog/sludge was frozen, which was a blessing... | ianandbarbara | 02/02/2013 |
Walk from Jubilee Tower. Snow underfoot and very cold wind. Surface water frozen so quite easy going. Return via Goldsworthy sculptures. | Argentum66 | 20/01/2013 |
From High Salter to NW, via track running to col below Whire Hill. Onward over Wolfhole Crag to Ward's Stone via interminable bog (some good path but not the track shown on map). both trigs and steeply back to start via Gallows Hill and Mallowdale farm to start. | nordicstar | 14/10/2012 |
