Overview

We head up Wells Road, a bit of a climb, to the start of the moor where we bear left past the tarn.  It's steady upwards till we emerge at The Cow & Calf rocks.  We then head up onto the moor proper & walk south before turning west & joining the path that will take us to the Twelve Apostles and then back into Ilkley
