| From minor road to W, drove good track to a gate (SX 1296 7525) walked from there. There's a green lane that connects the commons, not a RoW though. | jonglew | 19/07/2023 |

| Walked up from Leathern Bottle near Michaelstow, via Fentonladle and Treswallock Downs, stopping to visit King Arthur's Hall, Emblance Downs and Leaze stone circles and the Leaze cist. Crossed the De Lank river over the clapper bridge then headed up to Hawk's Tor across Carkees Down. It rained as I crossed the Down but petered out as I got up to the summit. From here the views are expansive in all directions. Dropped down to the Stripple Stones (several of which have been recently re-erected), then Trippets Stones stone circle, Kerrow Downs, Delford Bridge, St Breward, Wenfordbridge and back the main road near St Tudy to get the bus back to Bodmin. A long but very rewarding walk onto the moor. | thesweetcheat | 20/06/2019 |
| From Garrow Tor, easier going than expected with a few quad tracks to aid progress. Tor in grass, high point beside trig pillar. Good views. | RichardM | 25/08/2018 |
| Hp is by trig on slabs. Possible to descend west. Hot and thirsty in sun after cool cloudy start to day. | Denise | 25/05/2018 |

| Large area of grassland for parking close to the water treatment works to the NW(alt 880ft). Follow the track round, over the clapper bridge then bear right at the fork. From here you can pick up a fence on your right which leads directly towards the summit. Not open access but rough grassland so no access problems. | moorsman | 17/06/2016 |
| From lay-by on A30 at SX 14132 74010. Walked east on roadside verge (unpleasant),and then ascended north-east to the summit of Brockabarrow Common. Then descended north-west - hard-going through bogs, tussock grass and one barbed wire fence to scale. Then more easily south-west to summit. Walk continued to Garrow Tor. Solo. | Man of Kernow1 | 05/04/2016 |
| From NW over very boggy field. My penultimate Cornish pillar. | Dusty | 10/02/2015 |
