OK, so Crook Peak experts, what climbs and descents do you use?
We usually park at Kingwoods and climb straight up the rooty broad climb then either on to Wavering Down or contour around to the left, then up to Crook Peak.
I found what I presume is Slot Cars last year, running down from the Vets at Hill Farm down the lower west side of the broad ridge to Cross.
There’s the obvious bridleway off the summit NE then W then has the nice rock garden half way down. I’ve tried to NW off the summit to join this, but never found much.
SE off the summit is pretty dull, if grassy and flat. Small rocky area towards the end, but doesnt make up for the remainder of that trail for me. Never climbed up this way.
Done the climb up W of Compton Bishop, the one that gets loose and steep at the top. Seems a pretty good way to get back up on the hill. Never tried the trail that passes Combe Cottage on the OS map.
Found some decent singletrack south of Kingsword and near Webbington, but never tried anything north of the East to West axis of the hill. I know it would probably be cheeky, but is there anything running down to the Barton road?
Rainy days were made for virtually trail exploration, tea in hand….
