| Followed jonglew's route. Nice round of four Trumps | Andrew Simmons | 31/03/2022 |
| From Jamestown. Friendly farmer directed parking just over the bridge (NY 2997 9690). Took the mine track initially for Grey Hill and Dod Fell. Passed by the end of the mine track moving from Dod to Alkin, some very rough tussocky ground, compounded with snow today. | jonglew | 15/01/2021 |
