Sorry Jon! Thanks for the correction.
A far quicker approach to Green How is to park at 237996, space for 2-3 vehicles at a triangular widening and forest access gate 200metres up the valley from the FC car park. Walk along the track till it fades out at a clearing / turning head, then head uphill for 50metres to a stile over the forest fence. A good path runs along the fellside above the stone wall. Follow this northwards until tracks lead up through the bracken below Looking How.
Take a map as Green How is not visible until you get above the steeper initial slope and onto the bracken free hillside.
This route also gives easy access to numerous newly developed buttresses on the hillside below Green How.
