June 17, 2023, NYM — Wainstones, Cold Moor & Urra Moor loop

Fantastic walk. Stiff climb up to Wainstones at the beginning along paved trail and great views to your right over the patchwork of farm fields below. Dry trails in June 2023 and they look like they should be quite dry even in winter. No trail visible after waypoint 3 across grass field, just keep to the left and exit the field bottom left. Varied walk which took me 3:50 hrs including lunch stop. Enjoy! 👍
