Drove in on forestry roads, up through the trees from the track. | robertphillips | 13/08/2023 |
Cycled in from Sandyford. Up through the conifers which are well spaced | Andrew Simmons | 25/05/2022 |
Parked NY 2014 9847, track running NNE from here being re-wilded, fine for walking, but needs a landie for driving. Good track to NY 2062 9896, whence a fairly easy push through the conifers to reasonably obvious summit towards SW edge of 340m co.. | jonglew | 12/11/2020 |
A whirligig but not really a fun one. same approach as Chris but on my bike, which I dumped part way up the overgrown track. Annoyingly tight packed trees on the top but high point fairly obvious | Colin Crawford | 12/07/2019 |
Track near Sandyford E of river and reservoir. Top of res a disused track which stops almost due S of the hill and a few hundred metres short of the map end. Tough in places through the trees but used ditches as well. | chrisbien | 14/05/2019 |
