| A simple step stile would save the fencing from getting damaged | Isbjorn | 05/02/2024 |

| Quick bag after two earlier Marilyns. Dropped off at road highpoint then over gate and quick dash up to the trig point then back same way. On a nicer day imagine views are quite wide ranging. | bowlesy | 27/06/2023 |
| Accessed route through fields from minor road on south side of the hill. Returned same way. Started from our property 2km east. With Mr W, RW, GW | Woolly Hattie | 13/06/2023 |
| Circular walk from local private woodland along road past Boxtree to the south. As is often the case in rural Wales, footpaths on the map don't exist on the ground as farmers have fenced or hedged across them. From the field gate off the road SSW of the trig point, walked NNE up the hill to the top right hand corner of the field and through two gates to the trig point. Descended NW on the eastern side of the fence to the road fence and the frequently mentioned peeled back barbed wire gap. Very hot day with good but hazy views all round. With Gillian, Harriet and Mike. | richard69 | 13/06/2023 |

| Same as others, parked to north near mast. Along road a short way to fence without BW and steeply up to trig. Quick up and down but good views. | PeterD | 02/04/2023 |

| From road to the north. | Winterfloodian | 03/08/2022 |
| Quick ascent after the legal visit to Upper Park earlier in the afternoon. Met another bagger, Dave, who had also been on the Upper Park trip. Parked up on the layby by the weather station and then over the fence just down the road where the barbed wire has been removed. Just sheep in this field but there were cows on the other side of the fence leading to the summit. I had spoken to someone at Upper Park who advised he had driven past this hill earlier and spotted bovine creatures near the top and was looking forward to reading this report. | KevPalmer | 28/05/2022 |
| While attending RHS AGM at Shifnal. As most people parked at the road summit. An easy ascent - up and down in 10 minutes. Along road to the E and just past the fence coming down it is easy to climb over the fence where the barbed wire is missing | climbingkershaw | 28/05/2022 |
| I climbed this! Not so quick if you climb from valley to W which I preferred to do since on a 60K bike loop from near Guilsfield. Enjoyable slog through bluebell woods and pastures. | davechaffey | 27/05/2022 |
| Nice relaxed traverse of hill (after undercover ascent of Upper Park beforehand) from east to west, started by walking east along minor road to the north (limited parking at the western junction of this road near Llidiardu). Footpath signs all removed from this hill except the bridleway on south side (with no nearby parking) but lots of gates so no problem following desired line along crest. | Nick Canute | 07/03/2022 |
| From north. One of the easiest Marilyns? | Wycombe Wanderer | 19/01/2022 |
| Parked at weather station straight up over gap in barbed wire fence, over gate to trig. Back same way. Good views from top. 0.25 miles round trip, <8 mins walking time. | JulieB | 05/01/2022 |
| Parked by the weather station, then followed the road NE to a gate and then up the hill on easy grass, two gates and no fences. Fine views. | Peterb | 22/11/2021 |

| Surveying a few P30s in the area with Myrddyn Phillips, and it was too good an opportunity to let slip by heading up here for a revisit. Amazing visibility today and just the most superb views in all direction. | Twice Shy | 15/09/2020 |
