The clough dividing the hills of Holcombe and Harcles being too boggy for this particular walker, I was directed by a kind local to an alternative route to the base of Harcles via this long-disused quarry, located where the path from the Peel Monument turns into Moor Road on its way down into the village. The stream still requires a little negotiation but I found it to be much less worrisome than the stretch further up and there is at least that wall to cling to!
