From the road to the east. Parked by the cattle grid and followed the fence. Fairly boggy and a few peat gullies to negotiate but not a huge distance. | clivevilla | 20/03/2024 |
Oxnop Common and Tarn Seat from Osha Gap campsite on a damp misty morning. 12 miles | Gary Heath | 23/09/2023 |

From the cattle grid along by the fence. Some peaty ravines. | NormanW | 06/09/2021 |
Unappealling as fence recedes to infinity across trackless moor from cattle grid and no sign of Trig Pt. Took a gamble that 4x4 track starting 400m S at pt 519 might lead easily to top, but no; returned back along fence line. Have faith, stick with it and follow the fence, there's a bit of a path at times and the Trig is just beyond the horizon. | Isbjorn | 22/07/2021 |
From Blea Barf. Slightly ridgy from Tarn Currack, which was nice. Very in it and feels unfrequented. | Wycombe Wanderer | 19/06/2021 |

Parked south of cattle grid.Bogs and groughs early on make for hard going but then a combination of a vehicle track and path next to fence make progress easier. | catman | 25/01/2020 |
In the dark - clear sky - loads of stars - the fence from the high point of the road to the East takes you across The Fleak - some large peat groughs, and directly to the summit | wychwood | 18/01/2020 |

KJF Stroll along S side of newish boundary fence from road summit to East to minimise disruption to ground nesting birds (saw one family of grouse). Plenty of damp groughs to cross but the dry conditions made it relatively easy and detours didn't need to be huge. Summit pretty bleak (apart from fence) with gulls on nearby tarn and a view of Semerwater S. | crazy | 01/06/2017 |
There and back from the Summer Lodge Moor road summit. | Nick Down1 | 31/05/2017 |

Parked at the cattle grid and followed the track which soon ran out. Followed the line of the eroded bank - easily. Then last 400 metres or so heather - but not too bad. | destaylor | 28/09/2014 |

Parked at the cattle grid on the road between Askrigg and Low Whita, then followed fence to summit before heading over to Blea Barf. Summer Lodge Tarn is a great lunch spot, loads of birds to watch. We headed down to the track close to Summer lodge before heading back up to the road. Clear day, walked with Graham and Ruben. | karencooke | 27/07/2013 |
From parking spot near cattle grid at 965 941. Continued from summit of Tarn Seat to beacon, Summer Lodge Tarn, and on to Blea Barf. Walked back across to Summer Lodge Moor, then along road back to start. Warm and sunny. Some rough going/heather bashing. | PaulH | 06/07/2013 |
