3/7 Medley of small hills in a sunny afternoon. As other, parked in Dobbies. Walked through the dog exercising field, and up along track by spoil mound, over gate and to HP 20m away. | silveracorn_alan | 30/05/2023 |
With Jo, track from NW corner of Dobbies car park. Weather, sunny, warm, good visibility. | amblerbob | 23/05/2023 |
As others, parked in Dobbies car park, SW corner, the dirt overfill area. Handy track leads through Dobbies dumping ground, out to a field gate and the high point is just on the other side. | jonglew | 21/08/2022 |
From Garden Centre car park as per Moorsman | Bramley | 15/04/2022 |
Followed Moorsman's advice on a very windy day. | catman | 05/07/2020 |
Used path, cattle there but stayed away. On my way to Blyth to see Hereford. | fasgadh | 17/08/2019 |
Couldn't use the footpath due to frisky cattle so used the garden centre car park. Drive in and at the opposite end is a gravelled overflow parking area. Separated by three stones is a grassed dog walking area. Cross this and there is a track which leads to within 20m of the summit. A gate gives access. | moorsman | 30/07/2019 |
Used the vast Heighley Gate garden centre car park, skirted buildings to S across pasture passing large man-made mound. Just beyond in field is rounded grassy summit above shallow quarry with gorse. | Aye Jimmy | 24/04/2016 |
