| Parked at end of minor road at SJ158143, AT RISK of getting stuck. Metalling ends at gate with no turning place. The private land beyond the gate offers only ground of very low traction, so know whether you have FWD or RWD and plan exactly where you are going to drive before passing through the gate (parking here is not recommended). Route from recommended parking necessitates negotiating two barriers at SJ160145, obviously put there to deter people. Bench seat and good FP at top, coming up from the NE, so that is probably a much better route up | Isbjorn | 05/02/2024 |

| From the layby at 169149. Up the forest road to the house, track behind the house to a higher forest road. Followed this beyond the road end to a small tee junction heading northish and this went all the way to the summit. | iangalbraith | 12/08/2023 |

| Second ascent Parking at SJ170149. Followed bridleway into open access forestry until reached forest track. There are two routes to the summit... 1. Follow forest track to SJ16621547 then good path to trig summit. 2. Forest tracks up to fence at SJ16201474 then path across private land to trig summit. | PeteF | 18/02/2023 |

| From lay-by on mirin road near start of BW, up past house across end of forest track, as path led up to higher track, which followed for a short way and then took MTB route up to ridge and onto trig and HP. Came back down ridge path to join forest track further to north of where I left it on way up. Good views at top. | PeterD | 09/08/2022 |
| Left bike by cottage at Ceunant and weaved up through woods. Good 360 degree viewpoint compared to some of the limited views from nearby Marilyns. | davechaffey | 27/05/2022 |

| Very limited parking to north. Up forestry track since footpath signs directing the way in adjacent field missing. Path junction not on map leads to summit with relief (was beginning to worry I would have to plow through forest to open ground). Found a werthers original in sealed wrapper and saw 2 woodpeckers. | Nick Canute | 07/03/2022 |
| From road end at Mingwern. Parking space through gate for a few cars. Up middle track which turns into a footpath in field. In field cross left up a fence and followed path around outside edge of farmland and up grassy bank to summit. Descended by following path over summit and down until it met main track. Turn right at main track and back to car. 0.7miles to summit, 2.2 miles round trip in under 1hr walking time. Very pleasant walk. | JulieB | 05/01/2022 |
| Parked by Min Gwern, followed left hand track (one right of house) and through field woods and straight up, bracken all under control. | Stevooo | 22/08/2021 |

| From A495, mix of tracks and paths, popular little hill for Christmas morning. | rhalstead | 25/12/2019 |
| Start from A495 at SJ169149. Bridleway gets very rough after the house (branch off to right at he garden entrance). Follow paths through forest until you get to forest road, and which leads NE and back around. Avoid ascending direct from S to summit. Looks ok on maps, but is a bramble/bracken mess. | huwthomas | 25/10/2019 |
| From road end at Mingwern. Along forest road then doubled back up on to climb along ridge. Good view of the flooding in the valley below due to heavy rain. My 7th Marilyn of the day. | NormanW | 01/10/2019 |

| From road end near Mingwern parking just through gate. Circuit, taking lower forest track under summit the approach via path to NE. Good end with a bench and fine view. Descended by more direct route continuing over summit into woods to pick up the higher track. 4/4 | N.Morters | 10/07/2019 |
