Cowling - Wainman's Pinnacle This landmark folly on a gritstone crag was built ca. 1830 so R.B. Wainman could see it from his home at Carrhead. A second pinnacle ca. 1900 replaced the lightning-damaged original.

Cleared area at the head of a track Where a patch of heather has been cleared, it's usually just to encourage new growth that the birds can feed on. But this one is at the end of a vehicle track (beyond to the north-west is only a foot track to the grouse butts) so I presume it's been cleared as a parking area for SUVs.

Crystalline snow on Keighley Moor A macro photograph of snow covering a moorland track. The scale of the photo is probably about 5-10 centimetres across. I have rarely seen this form of snow, the formation of which must be related to the temperature when it fell and afterwards. See <a href="https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/1742465">NO1585 : Large snow crystals on Sron nan Gabhar</a> for another contributor's similar photo, while the description at <a href="https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/2188648">SY6989 : Frozen Leaf</a> explains the growth of ice crystals.

View towards the Hitching Stone (1) The natural boulder, the largest of many glacial erratics in this area, was used to denote a turning point in the boundary between parishes, and subsequently between West and North Yorkshire. This was the closest I got to it on this occasion: I had already stuck my foot in the bog twice, and couldn't be bothered with another excursion across the trackless moor to see the stone close up.

View towards the Hitching Stone (2) The natural boulder, the largest of many glacial erratics in this area, was used to denote a turning point in the boundary between parishes, and subsequently between West and North Yorkshire. From this viewpoint it seems to be sitting on top of a ridge (though actually just a change of gradient of the hill).

The Lunching Stone One of many glacial erratics in this area, and far from the largest. Unlike its bigger neighbours the Hitching Stone, Maw Stone, Kid Stone, Winter Hill Stone, etc., it has no name on the map, so I've given it one: the rock is the right height for a couple of adults to sit on, and the rock platform at its base keeps one's rucksack out of the bog. The symmetrical grid reference (SD98414198) is also pleasing. The view is eastwards across Airedale, but Pendle was clearly visible to the west, and Sharp Haw to the north.
