Very easy climb from cattle grid to east, clag and little viewmatty1971b18/11/2023
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 presenceColin Crawford07/10/2022
Chased off by landowner so returned just over an hour later and did it in the darkconanharrod12/05/2021
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.nickywood129/08/2020

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 Pearson29/07/2016
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.moorsman02/03/2016

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 Jimmy16/05/2015
Parked just off road on unfenced field (dry) after cattle grid. Short stroll up hill, top shows evidence of workings.nordicstar30/07/2014
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.ijpowell11/07/2014
