| 8/9 Marilyn. As others parked at gates/track SE of summit. Entered the field on right with horses and up to trig. Mast track would need to cross barbed wire fence. Cloud/mist and light rain. | N.Morters | 24/07/2020 |

| A tedious and inconsequential hill. Walked up the bramble and bog infested field to the trig then hopped over the barbed wire and walked down the mast track (much better/drier). Drove off. | Gill | 12/01/2018 |

| It was too hot to make a longer route out of this one, so bagged it from the road 100 yards from the trig point. We walked up the road to the masts, but realised the trig point was on the other side of the fence, so I climbed over the BWF and then descended via an overgrown field. With Keith and Ross (although they didn't bother with the trig). | islamidget | 18/06/2017 |
