Turn R and follow the path for approximately 50 metres to a small, flat, grassy area and fingerpost. Turn L, taking a small path up through a short rocky section.

Erratic deposits

The Norber Erratics are boulders of Silurian sandstone deposited by the last ice age. They lie on the surface, overlying the beds of limestone below.

2 Cross the wall and go straight ahead for a few metres to reach a small, stony path. Turn R and follow this path as it contours around the valley. After 400 metres, fork L on a grassy path heading for a notch in the limestone outcrop. Run through the notch and take one of the small paths heading N for approximately 500 metres, to reach a large cairn at Long Scar, adjacent to a grassy bridleway 2.8km.
