from Leinthall Starkes, via FP past windmill, then up through trees on rough path. Summit area very pleasant. descended by longer, better, route back to FP. | IanHHill | 19/02/2024 |
From Leinthall Starkes, ROW until opposite the windmill, across lovely meadows, then took direct route up the side through woods which was hard going, a scramble in places, but doable. Prob best with long trousers on. Pretty much same route back. Solo | RoguePulsar | 04/06/2023 |

Ascent from Leinthall Starkes as described by others. There is a stile into the woods where the ROW ends, then took forest road east and thhen two obvious right forks leading uphill (ridgetop track not shown on map). When we parked up a friendly local said it was possible to make a circuit by carrying along the ridge, which we did (good views), though ended up continuing too far. A well-used path leads back to the village from approx SO435692. | milimana | 01/01/2019 |
FP from village, into woods at end of path and after a short distance East steeply up the deciduous plantation. Down more directly through conifers direct from summit to gain tracks not shown on 1:25k, into field some way West of initial entry, then path. With Jenx and Bryher | nordicstar | 30/12/2018 |
Very steeply up and down once away from footpath across field. | jenx | 30/12/2018 |
Vergeside parking in Leinthall Starkes, alt 134m. Easy, well walked, public footpath right up to the trees. Keep walking across the pasture alongside the trees until you can see the forestry road across the fencing. Join this and follow it until a good track heads uphill to the right. This leads to the summit. 4.08km return. 60 minutes. | moorsman | 09/08/2018 |
The standard route up past the impressive windmill. Descent in the light of the supermoon. | RichardM | 31/01/2018 |

Forestry track immediately ends and becomes agricultural track which descends slightly. Veer right up hill on track (proper track not true disused one). AAfter curving round take first right up to summit. | Ashley | 10/09/2017 |

Like many others started at Limebrook and walked across sheep grazed pastures and past the windmill. Turned left when I reached the woods, took the first track on the right, then another right turn and I was on a narrow track which led all the way to the top. | Herbert Anchovy | 16/03/2015 |
