I parked at the Shillito Wood car park. From here a path not marked on the map leads down onto Ramsley moor where it soon meets a track going north that is marked on the map at a point where it branches. I took the left branch. Only the right is marked as a public right of way but it is all access land so it makes no difference. I followed this north though woodlands and a brown ocean of dead ferns. After about a mile it turns left and climbs up to the road about a kilometre south of Owler Bar. I crossed and headed across Big Moor on a track the first few minutes on which involved running the gauntlet of a big gang of cows but they were very placid and grazed on, ignoring me. Probably the same cows I met 29th June last year. I followed the track, taking a left by the house by the reservoir and so back to the road. Almost opposite is a path back into the woods of Ramsley Moor which began with another herd of pleasingly relaxed cows for me to walk through. The path took me to Ramsley Reservoir , through the woods to Ramsley Reservoir and onto Fox Lane which I followed back to the car park.
