A useful parking area due east on the B954 is a helpful start. simply a matter of jumping the fence and heading up the eastern flank.summitter12/06/2021

Parked at approx 251567. Over stile to SE side deer fence and up beside it to top. No fence to cross at top as not much left of the one between the cairn and summit.duchally20/05/2021

From SSE limited parking at GR252554 at access track/road. Followed tarmac road through wood just south of reservoir. Then track through the deer farm, summit cairn is visible but best to use track beyond farm deer complex buildings the up grassy AVT track to summit (100m beyond wall corner/old pine forest), earlier track near wall goes to Quarry which I used upwards but it runs out in new plantation trees. 3/3 HuMPN.Morters07/10/2020
Good parking at bottom of fence line to the east. Easy going up north of fence but then have to climb over it at the top.daviemore04/09/2020

Parked near NO251568 (room for several cars off-road). Convenient plastic bag covering barbed wire fence, leading to a faint path past a lonesome pine. Don't go through the obvious gap in the next fence! Keep Left, following a pair of tracks.richtea504004/10/2010
