Three Ethel's on this route. We did it backwards. It was a windy day so the moorland wasn't as enjoyable at it could have been but we only saw one other couple. The sun came out more for the second half, the route was more sheltered in places, and still minimal traffic. Pick a nice clear day and enjoy some stunning views. Note that there are temporary closures to the Open Access Land so check here first http://www.openaccess.naturalengland.org.uk/
