Drove in on forestry roads, up through the trees from the track.robertphillips13/08/2023
Cycled in from Sandyford. Up through the conifers which are well spacedAndrew Simmons25/05/2022
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..jonglew12/11/2020
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 obviousColin Crawford12/07/2019
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.chrisbien14/05/2019
