After Tan Hill, an easy diversion from the ROW. Top currently a stubble field. No evidence of cairn but the field is more stones than soil and it's probably been ploughed anyway.milimana16/11/2022

Walk from carpark to pick up Milk Hill, Tan Hill and Golden Ball Hill. Great viewsRamblingpaul13/09/2019
Good walk from nearby car park on road to Alton Barnes. No trig point so no real fixed point to aim for (with no GPS). Good to get third of the day.acolling12/08/2019
Anri clockwise round from the car park. Square of fallow ground one side of both the current and the 294m summit to SW. New agers in car park no problem while I wild-camped on the hills.Eddie12/07/2019
