I took the path to the west of the southern "blob" of Axe Edge, leading to the Dane Head area
I might've considered going up over the blob, but there's no PROW marked on the map, I couldn't see an obvious way onto the fell through the houses at Axe Edge End, and also it seemed like unnecessary extra ascent...

oh, and the northern blob is more tussocky rather than heather or bracken
