Nice quick one for Boo and I. Began to snow and the North Pennines as boggy as ever. Every third footstep you lose a foot in height	Alphaville199	26/03/2023
Parked at the cattle grid and then an easy walk to the summit with plenty of sheep following	matty1971b	12/02/2023

1/2 Black Scar from Cattle Grid then crossed over to climb up beside fence to curve over to Moudy Mea. Both easy walks. (Then on to High Greygrits and Brownber Head moving the car).	nickywood1	26/06/2021
Parked by cattle grid.	clivevilla	06/05/2021

Nice stroll with a touch of very welcome sunshine.	Wycombe Wanderer	08/01/2020
Parked near the cattle grid then a gentle amble to the single stone at the summit.	Dugswell2	11/05/2019
From SE, brief unexciting track walk, but the little rocky edge facing S is pleasant. (BM at start of path seems to have gone along with its garepost.)	RHW	24/03/2019
From the cattle grid. Short walk on grassy track. Viciously cold wind blowing.	jonglew	07/12/2018
Extremely windy. Watching Alan battling with his poncho was truly a sight to behold!	Peak Rambler	26/08/2018
With Jo, from cattle grid on Long Band. Weather; cloudy, cold wind, good visibility.	amblerbob	29/04/2018
From cattle grid on Moorsman's route.Not clear why it should be called Black Scar.With Oscar.	catman	07/06/2017

From cattle grid, easy stroll.	Bramley	28/08/2016
Overnight rain, wind and thick cloud clearing from our late night roadside camp at a good level spot in old quarry to SE -quick out and back with Darren before driving down to revisit the 'Last trig pillar in GB'on Thorney Gale before a Warcop 7 trump circuit.	Chris Pearson	29/07/2016
Another straight up & down parked at cattle grid	philhythe	01/07/2016

As others before from small lay-by near cattle grid at NY 86135 10742 (474m)	David Gradwell	29/07/2013
Short easy walk from cattle grid. Single flat stone marks the top.	Aye Jimmy	25/05/2013
It is worthwhile remembering that the legal line of the right of way enters the dip alongside the gate and follows the edge of the trees. Totally ignore this and follow the vehicular track which diverges to the right but is an easy walk to just north of the summit.	moorsman	05/11/2012
Second of three 5's up here. From cattle grid a 10 min max stroll to a good viewpoint of Eden valley. Small rock o n grassy top. Mist swirling. New track going in who knows where below, farmers!	nordicstar	16/07/2012
