Using the off road parking on the left of Upper Burbage Bridge my walk was almost starting at the highest point.
Today I chose to walk across the top of Burbage Rocks.

The ground was fairly easy under foot and i only passed two couples on this higher level route.

Looking across to the latter part of my walk, Carl Wark on the left and Higger Tor on the right. .

At the end of Burbage Rocks after meeting the A6187 we turn back north and head for Carl Wark and Higger Tor.
