| Well what can I say. From the layby. You don't need to go through the gorse to get to the top but you can. Up through gorse, down to S of it. Great views of Berwick Law | Lynnebe | 24/03/2024 |

| From Picnic area, path to the left of toilets. Lots of paths on this, lots of serious mixed veg as well. Not sure you could ever figure the exact top, but think the OS have it spot on, there was a path through the gorse there. Lovely views. | hils | 02/10/2023 |
| followed Belfarm's directions easily to top | grumpy | 19/02/2023 |
| From the layby. Summit seemed to be in long grass. | JAdair97 | 27/07/2022 |
| Once through the wall gap, follow the path further away from the fence/wall. Keep on just past where the summit is (ie go slightly further west) and there's no gorse. Easy and surprisingly nice. | Belfarm | 02/11/2021 |
| As others from the layby | Andrew Simmons | 06/08/2021 |
| Heading south, a quickie. | Play2End | 12/06/2021 |
| Parked in layby by toilets to SE of hill. Obvious track up left. Continued on past quarry, which feels like it might be the high point but isn't and found a place to cross the wall and BWF a bit further W than the HP. Lots of warning signs about a field archery range about, and there were a couple of guys smoking cannabis and messing around with swords near the summit - an interesting combination. | Wheelsy | 30/08/2019 |
| Very quick from the layby. | jenx | 03/02/2019 |
| With Jim B, Jenx and Bryher from parking at the PC. Easy stroll up through the horse to summit. Good views all round | nordicstar | 03/02/2019 |
| from the layby as everyone else. | robertphillips | 20/01/2019 |
| Short walk from the layby. | jonglew | 29/10/2018 |
| From picnic area. Poor viewpoint | hillsman | 28/09/2018 |
| From layby on the old A road, not the dual carriageway, easily to top beside gorse bushes. | NormanW | 12/09/2018 |
| A gentle stroll from the rest lay-bye. | Dugswell2 | 19/12/2017 |

| 15 minute bag from rest area beside A199. Good views | Thearlaichdubh | 26/12/2016 |
| Up from car park on clear path.Good views north to North Berwick Law and Bass Rock but no views South. | catman | 28/08/2016 |
| Easy stroll from parking layby with toilets, several information boards, viewpoint, and picnic benches. But I'll guess very few who stop here visit the summit. | Minto | 24/01/2016 |
| Easy bag in dark on way home, from parking area to E. Drove past this on old A1 many times in 1980s while working near Dunbar but never thought to climb it. | RHW | 30/11/2014 |
