Walked up the trodden path through the heather from Kebs road. Very thick black peaty bogs in places ... almost lost my boot atone point. Worth it for the views!! Clear views if Stoodley Pike, Nab Hill at Oxenhope and the wind turbines. Wonderful views of Pendle Hill and Boulsworth Hill behind Widdop and Gorple.

Visited with Alma Aurea as part of a circular walk around Standing Stone Hill and Hoof Stones Height. Parked up on Slack Road and headed up past Lower Gorple Reservoir to Standing Stone trigpoint, and then round and across the bleak moors to here. Beautiful clear weather and nice views. I've been here before but decided it would be nice to revisit and bring Alma, and finally log it of course!

Parked on the car park opposite wind farm then a walk to the Prow, which was covered in snow and we had to fight our way up the hill. It was a very bleak ! Came a different way down to the county border which was much easier. Meant it was a longer walk back to car but by this point we didn't care ha ha.

Visited the aircraft wreckage of WW2 B-24 Liberator 42-50668 which crashed in bad weather on 19 th Feb 1945.Only two survivors out of 5 crew and six passengers, a memorial cairn has been built and a fresh wreath of red poppies had been recently laid beside. The site is only about a kilometre from the trig.The GR is SD 91181 30039 and is easy walking when dry.

Parked on the Kebs rd, small layby at the County boundary post. Starting at the road bridge over the stream which had a mere trickle of water in it. Walked up a reasonable footpath to the pillar. The moor really dry and the peat very dusty. Pillar has foundation exposed on south side. Looks like maybe an attempt in the past to remove spider? Plug removed and filled, otherwise all metal work intact. Nice coat of pretty recent white paint. Excellent visibility on a glorious summers day. Picked out a number of pillars inc Lad law trig to the North through the bins. - which looks like it too has been recently upgraded to white.

From a layby on minor road due S. Clear track to top through peaty heather. Pillar has a bright white coat of paint; composite top cap; all sight holes open. Some damage to 2 top edges and 1 top corner. Extensive views W & S, other directions in low rain clouds. Large cut arrow on nearby rock is possibly the old trig as a benchmark not shown on any old maps.

Parked at the main road road to the south (there are two signs - one saying Welcome to Calderdale, one saying Welcome to Lancashire - and I parked in the five metre gap between them). Then it was a straightforward, if somewhat boggy, plod up to the trig at Hoof Stones Height, just beyond the wire fencing. Not a terribly interesting ascent, with the path changing from clear to indistinct at various points. View from the trig itself is rather nice if the weather's clear (as it was this evening)- trig is in decent nick too.

Plug of indeterminate material [not asphalt]. Damage to top slight. Public. Access Land. The walk in from the east is long - the path is clear enough & well waymarked, but often boggy, which makes for slow going. Nevertheless, it does lead straight up to the trig on the moor top at Hoof Stones Height.

The ground around the base and foundations of the pillar has been worn away and will undermine the stability.

Also called Hoof Stone Height, HuMP. Second of three HUMPs on a cool sunny winters day. Parked in small lay bye on bridge at junction of Lancashire & West Yorkshire. Path to summit would be wet if not frozen as today.

This is on Hoof Stones Height on the Yorkshire / Lancashire boundary. Its soggy peat all around with views of Coal Clough Wind Farm at Stiperden. My first visit here was on the route of the Haworth Hobble (33 mile walk/run) on 15th March 1986.

Hoof Stones Height. Revisited in Aug 2006 and again 31 May 2010 and on al occasions we never saw another soul - wonderful. The views are OK but the surrounding area is very eroded/boggy. There's a chunk missing out of one of the top corners and the erosion is beginning to isolate it (see the 'from the west' photo. Another hill with more than just the OS Permitted Path to the trig although it's in a large area of access land now. Right on the Lanky/Yorky border NNW of Todmorden. Part of a lenghty hike from Toddy to Hebden. No cars, on foot.

A smallish chunk out out of one corner at the top of the trig, plastic plug; base exposed. Tracks from the trail bikes still evident but I don't think they are recent. A trudge over from Widdop (but the boundary fence offered a reliable guide in low cloud). The cloud finally lifted to give views of Emley Moor, Stoodley Pike, Pendle and across Burnley towards Accrington. On reaching the road further west, I met a warden who was on the look-out for the trail-bikers.

its feb 2004 now and the dirt bike tracks are still 6inch deep in the peat...I'm not going to blank out what I think- they're TWATS. I suspected the tracks were done by motorbikes when I was up here, but I guess that confirms it ye caterpillars

Here we are on the middle of a boggy moor in the nesting season at the end of a permissive footpath and there they are-idiots on trail bikes tearing across the open moor and turning the area around the Trig into one big swamp!No lads,do not bother about the rare birds nor the chance is that permission for the pp could be withdrawn just carry on there is another moor across the valley where we knocked that 70 year old gamekeeper down.You load of -------------!!!!

Easter Sunday. There has been a long dry spell (very common on the Lancashire/Yorkshire border). There are a number of fires on the moors. As I arrive at the trig, I realise the peat under my feet is gently smouldering. Excellent views. An easy stroll from the Long Causeway.
