As others from Roadhead.Andrew Simmons16/05/2022
A short walk along the access track from the west. 5 minutes return.moorsman05/02/2022
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 Pearson15/12/2021

RoW from N. Immediately after third stile by small wood, climbed fence and straight to top. 10 minutes return.Crib Goch30/11/2019
From ROW to NNW. There was a bit of fence climbing.clivevilla06/11/2018
Most northerly of two gates at NY 52455 76281 avoids any fence climbingcarole engel14/07/2018
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.jonglew12/06/2018
from N starting on RoW. Good parkingjimbloomer18/04/2017

From WSW. Resr has a trig (surface block) but buried under turf, not found.RHW26/09/2015
Up from road to West, easy stroll after Sighty Crag. Verge parking.nordicstar01/11/2014
