| After a snowy and grey afternoon, the sun broke through and we quickly bagged this hill from the NNR gate to the SE, as others. Lovely terrain, great little hill and that wonderful light the last hour before sunset. I'd recommend anyone planning a walk in Cressbrook Dale to add this summit to the day's walk. Much more than a mere bag! With brother, Pete | pwheeler | 14/03/2023 |

| Used the access path from good parking. A fine path all the way, no fences or walls to cross and quickly done in 15 mins. Looked at the more direct line but the wall/barbed wire crossing looked heinous. Dont bother. The access line goes up through fine limestone meadows and managed thickets, with Jenx and Bryher | nordicstar | 15/02/2019 |
