| Parked on high point of road to the north of the hill. Gate into cow field. Simple walk up to the dual summit. Solo. | Dangerous Dave | 24/02/2022 |
| Parked at road junction to east and followed muddy paths over rough pasture to rock outcrop on a grey, cool, breezy day. | Denise | 02/01/2022 |
| From road to N, gate in DSW then track/path to summit. High point a loose pointed rock in grass. | RichardM | 02/01/2022 |
| Super little rocky hill. Gate from bend to NNE. Grass badly damaged by cattle or bulls. | GordonAdshead | 13/11/2021 |
| Parked opposite the gate to the north, then (like others) up the track past the still young cattle to the summit. (S) | silveracorn_alan | 29/10/2021 |
| Easy parking to the north where a gate gives access to the open-access land. A straightforward couple of minutes to the top. | moorsman | 12/05/2021 |
| Parked on the gated road to the North of the hill at the col. Walked 100 metres down to the West to get through easy to open gate, and up the farm track almost to the summit. Minded out for the young cattle. No problems. | nickywood1 | 14/09/2019 |
| With Ian | PeteF | 04/07/2019 |
| From road to north, through the cattle detritus, both rises visited | Colin Crawford | 03/03/2019 |
| From north. | Wycombe Wanderer | 10/02/2019 |
| From verge parking to N, over wall rather than gate but still but if a cattle morass all way to near summit. A fine rocky viewpoint. Back hugging the West side of hill finding better ground all way to gate. | nordicstar | 10/02/2019 |
| Good roadside verge parking (SD 2512 8710). Field gate then muddy and messy unmapped farm track most of the way. Farmer warned of coos & halfs, but didn't see them, only their mess! | jonglew | 12/12/2018 |
| Lots easy verge parking on fell road to north. Through metal gate and up farm track, very easy but muddy. Cows in field but farmer in tractor arrived same time as us to feed them so they unsurprisingly showed no interest in us. Did south top as well to be sure. Fifth and final fell of day, ran out of daylight to do any more. | Hillsidenick | 19/11/2017 |
| Cat Nest from GR: SD 25077 87122 | ronaldo333 | 24/09/2017 |
| Parked on road to north. Lots of cows and one bull. Hill is unremarkable. | ijpowell | 31/03/2017 |
| With Jo, from Subberthwaite Common: across Knott End Moss, through gate (courtesy of bull, cows and their calves) giving access from north to Cat Nest (two tops). Weather; sunny, cold wind, good visibility. | amblerbob | 05/11/2016 |
| Blawith to Water Yeat. Wall stile short way E of the gate. Cattle pasture with cut up, but currently frozen, ground & mucky tractor trail to feeder. | Smudge | 16/01/2016 |
| From NE, gate, seemingly abandoned pasture, deep grass. Both summits | RHW | 02/08/2015 |
| Gate from N, not far but rough underfoot to couple of summits. Thought the one with the wobbly pointed stone was the higher. | Aye Jimmy | 24/04/2015 |
| A 3 hour low level circuit with L from Broughton along the old railway and country lanes via Rosthwaite (bought homemade chutney and marmalade). we were then followed by a placid basset hound with huge ears that apparently has a habit of following strangers. Farmer tipped off by a local and drove out to collect it from us a mile further on. Hellishly windy still on the tops (even on little peaks such as this) No April fool joke. Did both tops. Down through woods and nasty pathless main road (again)- back for lunch just before rain began. | Chris Pearson | 01/04/2015 |
| Both tops! | peebs | 27/03/2015 |
| As Jim. Rough pathless ascent. Summit is embedded single rock at SD 25009 86832. Rock outcrop c100m south could be as high. Baggers should visit both spots as summit rock is slightly loose and might one day be unearthed! | David Gradwell | 18/04/2014 |
| Gate into access area at SD251870. Parking OK. | jimbloomer | 11/01/2014 |
