| Parked at Timberbrook car park (free). A cut through at the eastern end of the car park takes you onto the road and a subsequent flight of steps to the Gritstone Trail and the top. Wonderful evening views with the setting sun. Descended on the shared trail to the SW to rejoin the GT. Solo. Thursday night must be the mountain bike club night on the hill. Not sure why people feel the need to carve their names and visit date into the rocks at the top. | richard69 | 13/07/2023 |

| Parked at the free Timbersbrook Car Park and The Cloud is clearly signposted from the car park with 2 routes to choose from. I'd advise against the steps during the winter as they do tend to get rather boggy! | jamiequackers | 25/11/2021 |

| Timbersbrook carpark signs to follow the Gritstone Trail up to this summit. Tiny bit of road walk then ascent through NT woodland where mountain bike co-existence nicely managed. Cheshire lies at your feet. Fine views of Jodrell Bank radio telescope, the skyscrapers on Manchester and even a glimpse of Liverpool Cathederal. Final bag following Hen Cloud, The Roaches and Gun. Enough for a warm day. | Pete West | 30/05/2021 |
