Started at Ilam, through the Country Park and across a footbridge then along steep ROWs to the derelict Upper Musden. Straight to the top of Musden Low, where a couple of farmers in a landrover enquired about the purpose of our visit. Happy for me to bag the summit and trig then back down to Upper Musden and along a track to the north of Hazelton Clump. A quick up and down before continuing along the track to the Blore Road then followed ROWs back to Ilam. | summitter | 16/05/2022 |

We took the footpath beside the River Manifold then over on the bridge to a footpath rising to just South of Musden Grange then the footpath through Musden Wood, gently ascending to the minor lane East of Calton. A footpath took us to Upper Green House then a footpath up beside the fence NNE then veering off to climb to the top via one fence. Grassy knoll a few metres with Trig pillar in sunken dip near wall.
