Route: leaving the car at Moor How to run along Dubbs Road to join the Garburn Pass and running along it slowly gaining altitude to the reach the top. Then taking a stile on the right to be on the south-east side of a wall and following it on slate debris sitting on very marshy ground running up to a saddle between Sallows and Sour Howes and then south under the summit of Sour Howes. (A very new-looking tall dry-stone wall topped by a wire fence making access to the summit impossible.) Then down a ridge into the comb to cross the wall at a new stile and then take a small but generally visible path to reach the familiar crossroads (the path however crossed at the last minute by a new but more climbable fence). Then along the path towards Ings but turning off to pass High Borrans and back to the road and thence the car.
Conditions: surprisingly sunny.
Pub: the Hawkshead Brewery, Staveley for lunch and WPA and Cumbrian Five Hop.
