from Burnstones the Pennine Way picks up a much older walk the Maiden Way a Roman Road linking Kirkby Thore in Cumbria with Carvoran a Roman fort close to Hadrian's Wall. The way edges the eastern flank of Glendue Fell and Hartley Burn Common, the southern side! following a fence on the right.

Cross the A689 and the old mineral railway to arrive at the disused Lambley Colliery with its cottage and air shaft the only remnents of past production.

Barn at High House dropping down to cross the footbridge over Hartley Burn before a steady climb up through the farms at Ulpham, Baty's Shield and Greenriggs onto Round Hill and Hartley Burn Common, the northern side!
