Up north side but dropped down on west. Easiest way is using the big track on the west then turning left alon an old track upwards with a final gully to the top. | Adrian | 13/07/2022 |
Dugswell2's gully starts at SW 99470 56388. It is quite nice. | Matt | 17/04/2022 |
Good little hike to the top, took hauling road from west then took a left off the main path, followed that but then it ended. Then took a gulley with grippy footholds to an eccentric top. Atop was wood and you could see where they were hauling the waste up the side of the mound | FelixClayhill | 29/11/2020 |
Steep ascent S/SW through pathless undergrowth from road with tiny layby.Small flat gravel top. Extensive if murky views and no one in sight. | Denise | 17/11/2018 |
N. slope from SW 9967,5646. Up 1m high mossy bank/wall, 30m of open 'primeval' woodland, a few m of Rhododendron laced with bramble then easy open heather/moss gully beside derelict cableway direct to the summit. High point at top of cableway offers fine views NE to the blue grey lake of the Gun Heath Works and SE to the active Wheal Martyn Works, a distant jet of water pounding at a crumbling face, the china clay trickling away as a white stream. | RichardM | 17/11/2018 |
The key to this hill is locating Dugswell2's Gully. A brilliant discovery that leads you very easily to the summit. I walked down the Wheal Martyn quarry access road for 200m to where a track turns off to the left. Follow this up to the top of the col and look right. There is a distinct gap between the hill that you have just circumnavigated and the next hill. This is the gully. There is a path right up it. Find this and the ascent is a doddle. | moorsman | 17/06/2018 |
Parked at the road junction to the north west then through scrub before finding handy gully access to summit. | Dugswell2 | 10/03/2017 |
From road junc to NW. Rough ground, gorse, bramble etc initially until onto the slopes then easy going. Hill only partially vegetated, some steepish sandy sections. Sandy dome at HP with small heather clumps. On to Carroncarrow Hill. | jonglew | 21/02/2017 |
