| The Forestry Commission car park at Hawk Bridge is the starting point for this walk. The Hawk is a small hill above the car park which is the site of an ancient British Settlement |
 |
| From the end of the car park a woodland track enters the Broughton Moor Plantation following the course of Appletree Worth Beck |
 |
| Half a mile from the car park we leave the forest track and follow an indistinct path through the trees which climbs over the low ridge between The Hawk and The Knott |

 |
| The summit of Caw comes into view as the path begins to descend into the Lickle Valley |
 |
| The path joins a forestry road which leads up towards the head of the Lickle Valley |
 |
| Three quarters of a mile along the road the rocky summit of Pikes comes into view. At this point a small cairn indicates the start of a path which drops down to cross the River Lickle by a small clapper bridge to join a bridleway on its west bank which comes up from Stephenson Ground |

 |
| From Yewry Syke the path rises to cross the River Lickle, at that point just a small stream, and joins the bridleway on its west bank |
