As moorsman: Plentiful parking in Middlecliff Lane alongside the Buttercross stone. Go around the low pair of metal gates at the start of the public footpath alongside it. The path swings left and after 50m or so there are two sets of wooden gates on your right which give access to pasture. After passing through these there is another gate left into the summit field. Easy.PGCE15/04/2021
There is one (very) easy way up and 2 or 3 difficult ones ..... so beware. Easy way. Plentiful parking alongside the Buttercross stone. Go around the low pair of metal gates at the start of the public footpath alongside it. The path swings left and after 50m or so there are two sets of wooden gates on your right which give access to the pasture. After passing through these there is another gate into the summit field. This leads across easy pasture to the top,moorsman30/10/2020

Don’t take the route past the driving range as not easy. Came down via sheep field as others.Alan Caine30/05/2020
From S, I followed the RoW NW then up, but direct route from first gate much easier, came down that way. HP is level pasture S side of hedgeRHW24/05/2020
Despite being the site of a coal tip, the fields are quite pleasant sheep pasture now. Parked at S in old wide entrance and walked up FP to the NW. Easy access to gate into W corner of field and then diagonally up to top about 20m W of triangleGordonAdshead23/05/2020
