From the E, parking in layby at Framlington Gate. Headed N on RoW, then a track follows around top edge of felled plantation. | jonglew | 05/02/2024 |
Accessed around forest boundary- tussocky bog and heather. Trig outside forest boundary. Adjacent to large pile of stones and boundary marker, which may have old trig mark on top ( arrow and dimple) . Breezy and grey. Lower forest being felled. Returned through mature forest then on mapped track- more direct and easy. Lay by on road near start of track . | Denise | 02/02/2024 |
Good parking in layby at Framlington Gate. We take the track NNW, trees being harvested, air sweet with the smell of freshly cut pine. We follow along the forest edge crossing the S side of Wooden Hill. A bit of a path in places but also some rough going in wet grass. Turning S from the NW corner of the forest the going becomes easier to the grass/heather/bilberry summit with trig pillar on W side of the fence. On E side of fence is an ancient stone cairn/wind shelter. There’s also a B.S. with old trig arrow cut into top surface(?) Blustery W wind, overcast, dry, sun on distant coast to N. Cheviots in cloud. Return by descending E through the mature forest – easy going through tall trees – and gain track back to car.(much easier) | RichardM | 02/02/2024 |
From the layby near framlington gate. | robertphillips | 18/02/2023 |
Parked at Framlington Gate. Up the forest track and followed the forest edge to the top. The damage caused by storm Arwen 26/1/2021 is staggering. The conifers on the NE edge of the forest are either uprooted or snapped like a match sticks. | Andrew Simmons | 06/12/2021 |
Layby at Framlington Gate. Followed track N-ish for 400m, then along forest road to NU107041. A not very obvious firebreak (quite easy after the first 5m) through to the northern edge of the forest. Followed the edge of the forest W then S to the trig point. Thin path through the deep heather. | JohnR | 21/10/2020 |
drove to forest gat. then walked along track up fire break to open moor. Deep heather in places. | cjo | 11/08/2020 |
Parked at crossroads - bridleway then along fence - there's a thin path through deep heather from the second fence to the top - not easy to spot, but it's there. | maknipe | 09/06/2020 |
From near jct of A697 & B6341. | ger | 21/08/2017 |
A hill I certainly will not be returning to after a torrential downpour vented its wrath full on to me en-route. 
 
Parking available at a small pull-in on the road running north west a few metres north of Framlington Gate. Through a forest gate and a good path through the trees until it turns to run south. At the point there is a firebreak to the right, however, looking at it, it appears to be too badly overgrown by trees to be of use. Persevere and walk up to it. The first 30m is a scramble but it then becomes clearer and provides access to the final fence. Climb this and it becomes very rough walking west then south to the summit. By now it was torrenting down and, I really was losing the will to live by the time the trig came in sight .... only now to have rain now full on in my face as I made my way back. 3.5km return, 50 minutes, 216m ascent. Roll on death ...... theres too many hills left to do. | moorsman | 02/08/2017 |

From layby on A697 at Framlington Gate as Crib Goch, followed track for about 500m to start of gated forest track on left (found dog-walkers parked here when I came back). Forest track till about 100m past its crest where it swings S, then gap in trees to N (by 2nd little beck) to top of forest. W along fence line to corner, then fence S to trig, piles of stones and shelter. Summit stands well clear of forest. | Aye Jimmy | 30/04/2016 |
From layby at 118036 at Framlington Gate. RoW to 114044. Then followed forest edge W then S to summit. Tussocky grass and heather made worse by 6-12ins. of snow, but superb views from top. Cannot understand RHW's comment re lack of TP. It stands out a mile - big, concrete and ugly - lots of pics on Geograph | Crib Goch | 16/01/2016 |
tussocky approach from E, pleasant summit, TP seems to have gone. follow forest edge from tk end 114044 | RHW | 13/09/2002 |
