With GFE and Alder. From the car park followed the cliff top footpath which then led back to cut across the land. Short detour down the other track which was easy to stomp down and a few paces in to the grass to achieve the high point. Lovely sunny day although very windyFionalevey09/08/2023

From parking near The Bu, up track to gate then along fence, through gateway to HP, had to make a hasty retreat from enjoying the view, to the other side of fence as the cattle had spotted me and decided they would run to see me.PeterD01/07/2019
