Stolly, old pudding, Whelpstone Crag is a regular run for the Bowland crew, both winter 'Bat runs' & summer evenings. On the main wagon road, Whelpstone Crag is square to your R.H.S. when you are in a dip. As you continue along the road, climbing out of the dip (just when you are thinking that you've left the crag on your right rear quarter) look for a muddy trod on your RHS that climbs through the plantation with a broken down wall on the left. Once out of the plantation, onto the rough open fell, this trod swings right along the top boundary of the planation to a gate in a wall. Once through the gate, swing left to climb directly up the steep grassy cone of the crag. The trig is one of 18 in Bowland that are over 1,000 feet.
