The 1:25,000 OS map - but not the 1:50,000 - shows a path approaching Hob Hurst's House from a minor road a couple of kilometres to the east. A little north of where this starts, just round a corner, is a place you can park. So I did. Down to start of path where a stile gives access to path. It's a pretty scruffy path but its a path. Pretty muddy today but this spring everywhere is. From Hob Hurst's House I walked along the top of the moor to the summit of Beeley Moor where there is a grouse butt. There was a vestigial path some of the time but it was rough going then more of the same to the trig point, From the trig point a few yards leads to the road which can be followed back got the start. But to reach itt there is a double barbed wire fence and wall to cross. There is no gate or stile or any other break until the stile I started at and at my age doing gymnastic things on barbed wire fences is no longer so easy as it was, The wall has points of weaknesses where it ids damaged. The fence does not. There is a path of sorts follows the fence o the moorland side. I followed it for a bit but got fed up and did a little gymnastics. Thence an easy walk on tarmac back to car.
