Story

Nothing much to say other than it's my favourite walk traversing the ridge . It can be extended to the Barrow Stones , Derwent valley , or the Eastern Edges , and varied depending on which routes are chosen in the various cloughs.This route down Grinah Grain follows a faint sheep track which contours round to join the shooters track into the Westend Valley . In uncertain weather I would take the track across Ridgewalk Moor and join the track directly.

A delight in weather like this , this route can be less fun in rain and mist . Grinah Grain has boggy bits , vicious thistle clumps ,  and can be tricky by the stream. Please tread with thought and care . And remember Joseph Tagg .
