Three minor Bowland Fells for hill baggers.
A circular route from Cross of Greet Bridge. The ascent of Hailshowers Fell was direct and took advantage of faint shepherds paths and quad bike tracks.
There are visible paths for much of the walk to Whelp Stone but it gets very boggy in places.
Good paths after finding the stile and faint path at the start of the descent of Gisburn Forest.
