From the cattle grid | Moorponder | 02/01/2024 |
Very easy climb from cattle grid to east, clag and little view | matty1971b | 18/11/2023 |
Easy parking by cattle grid and an easy stroll to the obvious summit. I then visited the alternative top to the east. Tractors and quad bikes around but no-one seemed bothered by my presence | Colin Crawford | 07/10/2022 |
Chased off by landowner so returned just over an hour later and did it in the dark | conanharrod | 12/05/2021 |
Short walk up from Cattle Grid just to the East made a quick easy bag at the end of the day. I did enjoy watching flares being set off up at Warcop from here - good view of Pennines including High Cup Nick in afternoon sunshine. | nickywood1 | 29/08/2020 |

Track from north shown on my old Landranger now 'yellow' and tarmac and public on Darren's digital mapping so drive-able for a quick evening bag, heading for a moorland roadside camp and supper. However lengthy jog ensued as duty called and we did all the possible tops including a km out and back to east of road, as well as the closer 'official' top to west of road. | Chris Pearson | 29/07/2016 |
Parking on (signposted) adjacent road with gate access to fell ......alt 950ft. Met the farmer who couldn't understand why, on a snowy day in the depth of winter, I wanted to photograph his field. Bemused permission given! Under 10 minutes return. | moorsman | 02/03/2016 |
All tops including alternative summit | jimbloomer | 17/08/2015 |
All tops including alternative summit | Dave Geere | 12/07/2015 |
From crest of road near lane leading to Fell Head farm. Visited official summit with the delvings and first bump towards Fell Head farm (cows and calves beyond). | Aye Jimmy | 16/05/2015 |
Parked just off road on unfenced field (dry) after cattle grid. Short stroll up hill, top shows evidence of workings. | nordicstar | 30/07/2014 |
Dead easy but somewhat pointless bag. My simple visual assessment agrees with the previous logger's detailed satnav survey. Pleased to have confirmation from an expert. | ijpowell | 11/07/2014 |
