Parked at Oxygrains then followed stream, cut across moor to leat, over bridge and up hill to summit. Dropped down by farm to A672 then along fp next to Spa Clough. With Ed in snow & strong winds but plenty of sunshine. Very pleasantJohn Eley12/03/2023
Up roughground to the leat. Then a good path to the pillar. The best path was identified on return. This starts opposite the center of the small layby by oxygrains bridge.cjo29/08/2022

As others, parked in layby just E. of the Oxgrains Old Bridge at SE 0042 1588 - Directly opposite the top end of the layby, a fairly narrow permissive path heads up bank to a pedestrian gate & continues N. to the whitewashed trig point. A pleasant walk which crosses the leat at SE 0050 1643. (S)gerrybowes30/10/2020

Parked on the A672 at SE00412 15891. There is a faint path immediately opposite the lay by which is not obvious from the road. This gives easy access to the top over a well made bridge. Rock hard under foot due to frost. Easy going.Campbell Singer16/02/2018
Previous entry was doubtful, so today went back and made sure. From main road to east, by pub. About 6 miles, returning via Rishworth Lodge. 2hr 30min. Leaves one Calderdale tump to do.IanHHill18/11/2017
