As others from NE parking near cattle grid. Various sheep tracks followed. Visited tops of a few peat hags, but one with stones on top seemed marginally higher.PeterD15/05/2023

From road to NE visited about 6 past hags the in each of the 170m contour rings. Only one of the easterly ones had some stones on it to imply summit status.vegibagger19/06/2019
From the quarry. I'm not convinced by the GR and visited all likely contenders for the top.Chris Peart16/06/2019
Much appreciation for the drop off at North Roe with richtea to enable this fine linear walk back over the hill tops south.Alex C12/06/2019

From SSW - parking by B9079.ger08/06/2019
Easy full traverse NNE to SSW on hard frosted ground in glorious sun, after Ollaberry.Tony S31/01/2019
With Jon Glew, from the quarry. Sheep tracks gave easy firm going all the way, often on good firm ground ground below the peat hags. There seem to be 3 summits, but the eastern summits are not as high as the western summit. Not an outstanding hill, but surprisingly good despite its appearance.Gill25/08/2018
Up through the quarry from the B9079 (HU 3400 7870). Took a direct line over dry(ish) peat hags. Checked out some other high ground ESE of the GR, but seemed probably lower by a small amount.jonglew25/08/2018
