Gateway in a wall on Ilkley Moor

Rombalds Moor covers about 90 sq.km. between Wharfedale and Airedale. The highest point is 402m above sea level (grid ref for this shared description). Parts of it also have local names referring to the nearest town, e.g. Hawksworth, Burley, Ilkley, Bingley and Morton Moors. The moor is particularly rich in remains of prehistoric activity. The most numerous relics are the rock carvings which can be found on many of the boulders and outcrops scattered across the moor. Burial monuments stone circles and a range of enclosed settlements are also known. [source: Historic England, overall description covering several ancient monument sites] There are several small reservoirs, originally built by local authorities, that collect water from the moors. The Rombalds Water Board was taken over by the Yorkshire Water Authority in 1973.

Wet ground ahead!

I did wonder whether to strike out across this area to get to the trig point on Long Ridge SE0846 : Trig point S5302 at Long Ridge End 600 metres away, but the reeds suggested wet ground, and with snow cover too I didn't want to take any risks.
