Hailshowers Fell Parked after cattle grid at 427 metres at SD6823860865 then Great Harlow, Hailshowers Fell, Bowlands Knotts, return to Hailshowers Fell, Great Harlow, Thistle Hill, Burn Moor and then to road below Moor Cock Farm and then up road back to my car. Very hot sunny day with drier than average moorland underfoot. 486 metre point next to fence didn't seem to be the highest point walking either way over this hill today. A quad track seemed to stop at the highest point before a lower cairn, buried stake and grit point.
