I parked my car off the B5292 at the start of bthe track leading to Darling How. A path leads down from here to the lower track to the north by Scawgill Bridge. I was looking to follow the fence atg the edge of the forest straight up Graystones. THere is a path up here but it starts some way off to the west and skirts the foot of the old quarry before joining the fence and following it up. It is a brutal, steep, unrelenting, but merfcifully short climb. I found many lumps that might have been the summit of Graystones so visited all of them to be oin the safe side. Then a good path leads effortlessly and very pleasantly along the ridge over Broom Fell to Lord's Seat. Here I ballsed things up rather badly. Without taking time to look carefully enough at the map I breezily headed off in the direction of Ullister Hill thking it was Barf. It isn't. By the time I realised waht I had done I had wasted eough tie I decided to leave BArf for another day and so returned to the top of Lord's Seat. The map shows a dotted green line going from here back down to Darling How. On the grond this was pretty faint. It also seemed at first rather closer to the fence than the map suggests. I don't think this way is much used. Descending tghrough the woods was rather rough going in places. But I was soon down and back at my little car.
