From Mole's Chamber, parking for couple of cars. Ground still spongey despite recent dry weather. HP at 4-way field bdy, maybe on SE side of junc.jonglew23/04/2017
Roadside parking very difficult due to narrow roads. Parked in gate entrance (blocking access) 50m west of the fenceline from the castle.There is a bridle gate giving access from the road up to the castle. Go through a second one into the castle grounds and follow the fenceline round to the summit. Plenty of friendly grazing cattle in upper field. 15 minutes return, less if you are younger and fitter than me!moorsman16/06/2016

Gate gave easy access to large rough grassy field – trig at one end (visited) was not as high as spot height 400m east which looked higher until visited then it felt lower.Chris Pearson10/08/2010
