As others from Roadhead. | Andrew Simmons | 16/05/2022 |
A short walk along the access track from the west. 5 minutes return. | moorsman | 05/02/2022 |
A roadtrip into the empty quarter of Cumbria - the little visited or lived in huge chunk of forgotten England that exists north of Hadrian's Wall before the slanting England - Scotland border is reached linking the Solway and The Tweed. This small roadside hill lies in the largest parish in Cumbria (Bewcastle and Roadhead) yet only has a population of 399 which I increased by 0.25% to a neat 400 during my brief half hour stay. The Talking Heads classic 'We're on road to nowhere' came to mind. On a sober note even remote rural places like this lost men in WW1 such as brothers Septimus Waugh - Yorkshire Regt (killed in battle, whose body like many was never found /identified) and Robert Waugh -Machine Gun Corps -Infantry - who died of his injuries in a UK hospital and is buried at nearby Bewcastle church. | Chris Pearson | 15/12/2021 |
Via new phone mast track | conanharrod | 02/05/2021 |
New road from SW goes to phone mast...easiest way to access the summit. | Adrian | 28/01/2020 |
RoW from N. Immediately after third stile by small wood, climbed fence and straight to top. 10 minutes return. | Crib Goch | 30/11/2019 |
From ROW to NNW. There was a bit of fence climbing. | clivevilla | 06/11/2018 |
Most northerly of two gates at NY 52455 76281 avoids any fence climbing | carole engel | 14/07/2018 |
Took the RoW from B6318 for approx 120m, then veered off SW over pastures - some stock fencing to negotiate. HP probably NE side of the covered reservoir. A trig surface block sits on the reservoir and the Roadhead ROC bunker is nearby. | jonglew | 12/06/2018 |
from N starting on RoW. Good parking | jimbloomer | 18/04/2017 |
Same approach as Minto and possibly even wetter! Looked for OS bolt, not found. | Aye Jimmy | 27/12/2015 |
From WSW. Resr has a trig (surface block) but buried under turf, not found. | RHW | 26/09/2015 |
Up from road to West, easy stroll after Sighty Crag. Verge parking. | nordicstar | 01/11/2014 |
From the S. Roadside parking by gate. Track (incredibly wet and slippery today) leads to ridge. Gates. Then to covered reservoirs at summit. | Minto | 18/01/2014 |
From W 2 gates and onto covered reservoir | chrisbien | 20/06/2013 |
