Easy parking underneath the arches of the adjacent railway line. From here an enjoyable riverside walk takes you as far as a stone bridge over a tributary river. Climb the steps to where they finish and continue along the track. You will pass several offshoot tracks to the right which climb the steep hillside, but, if you continue for about 200m there is a clear path that doubles back on your route. This is the easiest route upwards. Clear pasture top just over the fence. | moorsman | 06/02/2022 |
Gelt Woods circular including The Crews [and Tootop Wood]. | RobB | 18/05/2021 |
From Middle Gelt Bridge along the footpath beside river until you cross over the tributary on the right, then find your way up the steep wooded slope to emerge into the summit field. Lots of cattle with calves so we quickly bagged top and retreated. | nickywood1 | 13/08/2020 |
A scenic riverside walk from Low Gelt. With B and R. | jenx | 18/05/2020 |
Dusk ascent from north east. Slightly unusual little fell. | Wycombe Wanderer | 21/01/2020 |
Lovely walk a,long river bank. Right up bank immediately after bridge at NY 5299 5841. At fence, left to gate NY 5306 5849. Initial ascent steep but its even steeper from further along the path. Lumpy summit - could be one of several spots | carole engel | 22/04/2019 |
Small woodland parking area at Low Gelt Br. Pleasant forested track following the river to NY 5303 5849 then stepely up to break out into a sheep pasture. | jonglew | 29/11/2018 |
From Low Gelt to NW, pleasant woodland walk along river (in spate) passing quarried faces and 'Roman inscribed rock' (didn't find it) to just before footbridge. Fence line up wood to gate and summit field. Another possible summit 150m NE of official one, obvious grassy dome. Logging activities going on from Mid Gelt approach to S. | Aye Jimmy | 12/11/2015 |
New double barbed wire fence in place, sheep with lambs and farmer driving round. Typical Tump! | peebs | 13/04/2015 |
Followed Rob's route, easy / plaeasnt stroll | nordicstar | 28/11/2014 |
From S: easy parking, riverside stroll, cross tributary then up thru wood, to avoid deep bracken | RHW | 05/10/2014 |
