From forest tracks to west in rain and low cloud. When South of summit cut uphill over pathless mossy grassy tussocks to unmarked summit. | Denise | 07/10/2021 |
Parked at entrance to forest track, 761274. Track N, then track SSW. Shortly after right left wiggle, there's a path right marked with white tape. Followed this towards pond, then left, and path goes within 100m of summit. If you miss the path, keep on track and turn left up side of forest. Good viewpoint. | PGCE | 12/11/2020 |
Parked to side of wide forest track at SH 7431 2627 - As others, up road for about 50m & then forked right onto forest track - Along forest tracks to gate which lies about 170m E. of information boards - Through gate, up faint path to col & then a short climb to summit knoll.

park at wide space where forest roads meet at 743262. follow forest road north and around to double info board and steeply up over blaeberries to the unmarked top. | arranc | 31/08/2013 |

Route as CW - rough going once off track. | Chris Peart | 08/10/2012 |
Started near Cadgwan at SH760274 up to right and then left. The secret is a path that starts at SH7563626970 marked by a piece of quartz. However it's a plantation and this info will get dated. Not best view in world, but will do until another one comes a | Martin R | 01/09/2011 |
Parked at 743262 - loads of room - and followed wide forest track to summit area. There is a gate into the access land about 200m after the information boards at 752264 and a faint path to the col and summit. No feature. | chriswatson | 12/05/2011 |
