| From Goutsford Bridge, S across sheep pasture then around edge of forest before making our way through mixed woodland to levellish summit area. Best guess for high point is at base of large fir tree at end of track. | RichardM | 27/01/2018 |
| From gated track 100m SE of Goutsford Bridge. S over pasture, then SW through managed woodland. HP reasonably obvious in conifers. | jonglew | 27/01/2017 |
