Walk Overview
A walk that barely merits a full blog, but for completeness, here goes. Today we had
intended doing the Stickle Pike round of Fells, however due to a technology fail on
the Navigation side we had to abort. Given we had drove up from Merseyside we
decided to "officially" do Great Worm Crag, which we had done previously during
our 214 round when we did Green Crag
From Ulpha, take the Birker Fell Road which initially climbs steeply. Once
levelled out, travel past Crosby Farm shop and a cattle grid and at the
approximate highest point on the road, car parking is freely provided by a number
of impromptu grass verges where its possible to park randomly without blocking the road
An obvious wide track marks the start of the walk
Rough Crag is seen on the left and further on is Great Worm Crag from
the start of the track
The Quad Bike track starts off initially boggy, but improves as height is gained
The path rises steadily. This is good walking with no terrrain issues

Aim for the left hand shoulder of the high ground in front
At this point we have reached the high ground (previous photo). Its now time to
swing left and aim for the right hand shoulder of Great Worm Crag. There is a faint
grass trod of sorts to follow, however it is intermittent
