Summit, Cartridge Hill The top is somewhere around here in a mass of wet peat. Not easy to identify the highest point. The ground is disturbed, probably by digging fire breaks during a spell of severe moorland fires in 2018.

Path, Darwen Moor Crossing a dry bit, courtesy of a spoil heap from one of the trial workings. The upper reaches of the track shown by the Ordnance Survey near here does not exist. Just tussock grass. It is however a good track from the tip of Conyries Wood down past Higher Pasture Barn to Crooklands.
