Dark with sparking frost and hazy full moon. From mapped track to NE . Forest tracks most of the way. Last section on boggy firebreaks as mapped. Summit area is a clearing with aerial, wooden hut and concrete bases, presumably of old fire tower. . C 30 m away is a grassy mossy mound by edge of trees, apparently natural HP .Descended S then west on mapped firebreaks, possibly better route.Denise 25/11/2023

From parking area to S (NX 5582 8265). Rough break N for ~250m to pick up good logging road which led up to NX 5572 8445, then a steeper, rougher track to summit. Returned via breaks heading W to pick up the logging road and back.jonglew24/04/2021
