Parked in gateways to SE. Along good tracks right up to summit. Fresh deposits so suspect this hill is going height. No heather to be seen at the summit. 10pm floodlights came on which gave me a jo T, thought it was vehicle headlamps. No sign of security this evening.Adrian13/07/2022
sketchy scramble up the slope, cycled past from carrancarrow hillFelixClayhill29/12/2020
As the others. Parked in the quarry entrance to the SE then crossed the road. Follow a good track to where one leads off to the left. The hill is cleary visible and just requires a scramble to get to the top.moorsman17/06/2018
From SE up gated quarry track. Then traverse west along spoil heap side ( trees and undergrowth). Then up and across wide track, apparently recently used, and then up to summit plateau. HP is on edge. Raining and fading lightDenise 10/02/2018
From the SE initially up the narrow gated track and then traverse of embankment before ascent to the wide mine service road, across this with care to vegetated spoil of summit cone.Easily up through heather to summit.RichardM10/02/2018
Final of 21 St Austell bings over 3 days. From same parking as for Great Longstone. Accessed a muddy pasture at SW 97730 55290. Then roughly E to quarry boundary fencing. Over that, across wide quarry road and steeply up. Sandy top with sparse and stunted heather.jonglew23/02/2017
The four (+1 before) +2 after. Summit area has light covering of heather and is clearly disused. A little sparser than Gt Longstone Hill.RHW26/11/2016
