Logged Descriptions  (logged by 15 users)ByDate of Ascent
From NE . Parked at track entrance on road bend, just. A series of forest tracks, initially autumnal beech, then pine, some wide, some overgrown. HP by mast in pines. Possible to ascend mast via hole in fence but covered in horrible slime so gave up!Denise 06/11/2023
From the NE. Steep forest track then S on wide forest road until track W along line of mapped 'wall' accesses the overgrown forest track along ridge to summit. Summit has pair of masts, high point ridge of soil on NE side of the small mast under Larch tree in open pine forest. No views from ground level. Tower climbing opportunities exist.RichardM06/11/2023
