The safe way is through the Woolpacks. There is a more direct line immediately after Pym Chair. It is worth a recce. It took me a recce and an initial race before I had it right. If you play safe and err slightly right (as I did twice) you end up on the wrong side of the stream and have to double back, if you err to the left you end up on the dark side of the moon on Kinder Scout.

On the 25000 map draw a line from right shoulder of Pym Chair to the point of the < by the ford, aim to be on the north bank as you approach the ford (and therefore don't have to use it). If the clag is down and you're not sure, play safe.
