Quick up and down from the radio mast. | PGCE | 29/12/2022 |
Started from the lane before the mask following the castleton circular walk have walked this many years ago. The summit field is used for crop production so best come in winter. Although the mount is well defined it seems to have lost a little bit of height had a good survey with the GPS. It appears that it must be ploughed on a regular basis no problem of access followed the castleton route back to castleton. | hodder | 18/11/2022 |
Slow run through farmland. | TedCymru | 23/03/2021 |

Short walk from road into muddy field. | Tony J | 15/04/2018 |
From Castleton via Coal Pit Lane and Pen-y-Lan Road, then across the turnip fields on the footpaths to the summit | Mariana Trench | 14/01/2018 |
There is room to park a car just off the road beside the mast enclosure. I walked along the RoW from there. I could just about see where the fort was and tramped about a bit to make sure we got the top. Wee Ross walked most of the way back to the car (although probably did double the distance since he zigzags). | islamidget | 09/09/2017 |

Visited for the destroyed trig pillar, Pen-y-Lan. Parked at field entrance, walked across muddy ploughed field to top of The Mount. There are no indications of the earthworks other than a gentle rising of the ground. | jonglew | 06/01/2013 |
Visited when looking for the ex-trig in the area. | Father Ted | 22/07/2008 |
3/3 After Mynydd twyn-glas and Graig Ddifaith (still on way home), quick grab into field following tractor tracks to top, not muddy thanks to this great dry weather | penbet | blank |
