| Parked on the grass triangle road junction to the SW and followed the usual route on the track to the W then N before turning S up to the trig and hp. Continued S on descent on a path before heading more SW free format to the road. Lovely bright clear Spring morning with good views all round. With Gillian. | richard69 | 19/03/2024 |

| With Peterb. Started at the usual place near The Hollies then farm track east of hill until we met a herd of cattle. Struck up the heather/long grass until we reached summit trig and cairn. Returned via more direct route back to car. | bowlesy | 29/06/2023 |

| Parked in grass/mud triangle 329938. Came in from south, road dreadful. Nice walk up grass, parallel to the track, then track up through heather. Road out to west was about a foot deep in mud and water to start with. | iangalbraith | 28/11/2022 |
| Day 3 of a 5 day winter backpack around the Shropshire hills. A truly wet day and the rain started in earnest when I climbed to the summit. Some views but too wet and windy to linger for too long. | morgs4mountains | 21/11/2022 |
| With Lesley. Parked south, small triangle 330935. Clockwise to col, over to Cefn Gunthley and return, good track to summit followed by flies and eating lots of bilberries. Great views. Continued clockwise around hill, gate through Upper Bent farmyard. | Nick Canute | 24/08/2022 |
| From Triangle on minor road | Longwojo | 19/08/2022 |
| Second ascent. Road very rough (no tarmac/deep ruts) between the Hollies and the information board shown on the OS map. Suggest approaching by car from the south. | PeteF | 11/06/2022 |
| Parked at SO 33029 93531 where there is a flat space off the road Walked up the northern side of the stream then across to SO 33582 93866 where there is a path through the heather to the top | benwloudon | 21/02/2022 |

| Parked at triangle in narrow lane 330935.Followed track north to col at 353m. Quick ascent of Cefn Guntly then ascended Heath Mynd over pathless NW flank. Easy going at first, but more heather higher up. A clear path from the summit heading south brought me back to my car. 2.4 miles 51 minutes. | CXB | 22/10/2021 |
| from 33028 93519 and then up the West track. NNE at the information sign and then directly up. I followed the atv track from the summit to return. | Peterb | 08/10/2021 |
| Parked on triangle at SO 33028 93519 as others. Followed track to W and approached summit from N along track. Great views across to Wales in a lovely area. With Felix. About 170m ascent. | RoguePulsar | 18/09/2021 |
| Straight grassy path near the top onto a rough track straight to the summit we saw two red kites at the top the top also has a cairn went with Dad. | speedyclimber | 18/09/2021 |
| Parked on the small grass area at SO 3303 9353, which I reached via Heath Mynd farm. I would NOT recommend this as the road gets pretty bad - much better to access the parking spot from the S. For the ascent I followed the advice of prwild below and approached the summit from the N, which worked well. | paulhilder | 22/08/2021 |
| Parked in small area on Linley hill , 350 934 -thanks google maps. Walked south on road, turned right and right again, then politely stopped by land owner and given alternate route! Walked further along road past huge mansions and their lawns before public footpath across field. 34391 92610. Followed nose through tracks, 33988, 92759. past woods to find wind turbine mentioned by others 33246, 93104 , thanks . Up path to circle of trees and then google maps satellite view directed us straight to sheep track. Negotiated gorse to summit and trig point. Unable to see sheep track from 10 meters away yet google can see it from space! 33558, 93858 Thanks again google . | Hippy77 | 16/08/2021 |
| Space for 1 car by the wind turbine (note the road to the farm to the west that permits use of the ATV trail from the north is closed). So either park at the triangle and walk up or by the wind turbine and follow the ATV track from the south. Weather very threatening so quick zip to the top and back. Truly magnificent views across to Wales and a good cairn too by the trig. Zero tree cover so one to ascend in good weather! | jamiequackers | 07/08/2021 |

| from south easy park just past gate 3303 9352 up west of stream return east good hill | underhill | 22/06/2021 |
| To be clear, approaching from the north on the lane that deteriorates to a muddy track, the triangle is after the 5-bar gate. Simple from there. I had turned and parked on the contoured approach to an obviously hardly used gate after the piggery but before The Hollies | henryfm | 30/05/2021 |

| 1 x parking above road gate on triangle at SO330935. NNE up track to 1st bwlch at SO333946, then vehicular track to 2nd bwlch at SO337944, then ATV track to top. Returned to find my car covered in saliva and snot from a surrounding herd of about a dozen cows with Who? Me? faces who had been licking the road salt off of it. | Isbjorn | 17/04/2021 |

| Easy ascent by walking round to the col to the North and following the track up. Less successful following the path down to the South and trying to cut back down the slope. | prwild | 23/08/2020 |
| Linked with Corndon Hill; harder than I expected as footpaths marked on the OS map are somewhat vague in July | Rockdoctor | 24/07/2020 |
