| Good parking, and nice paths to summit woodland from E. Very exciting summit - compared to many around here. | Minto | 07/07/2023 |
| Parked to NW near 231 SH. Road, then ROW. Nice rocky summit: probably not one for standing on, but I did sit on it. | PGCE | 05/03/2023 |
| Parking at SO 50362 03683, Followed road and ROW to new summit. | DC11main | 03/07/2022 |
| From the east on good paths. A very fine rock summit with some exposure. | fasgadh | 21/03/2022 |
| A great little summit, huge vertical gritstone slab forming a rocky/bouldery edge in woodland. | RichardM | 21/01/2022 |
| Returned to visit relocated summit. Parked at SO503036, walked a short distance S along road then followed RoW onto summit ridge. | Tony J | 06/12/2020 |
| Short walk from car park to NE. | rhalstead | 26/01/2019 |
| As clivevilla. Delightful mature woodland tracks. Accosted by two white retrievers who were in doggy heaven. | Campbell Singer | 20/01/2019 |
| From car park to the NE. The track goes south before swinging round to head west. Dived off in to the woodland when I was north of the summit. A few brambles but not too bad or for too far. | clivevilla | 01/11/2018 |
| From car park following forest tracks. | Ramblingpaul | 18/07/2018 |
| From NE car park | Pip56 | 28/04/2018 |
| From car park to NE, first along forest track then along FPs to HP by wall adjoining field. | PeterD | 09/09/2017 |
| From the CP. Obvious forest track and then a left turn up to the summit near a junction in the paths. Highest point possibly close to wall. Slightly different route back following the path heading east next to the wall. | Herbert Anchovy | 18/04/2017 |
| As per RHW. Paths well signed all the way. Felling to NE. | arranc | 09/11/2016 |
| From car park to NE. Good path all the way. A flat top so unable to say where the HP is. Path seems to be as high as anywhere. Walked across to a rise in field to SE, looked a contender but GPS gave 3m lower elevation. Top of the wall is actually the highest point. ***Revisited 26 Sep 2020 for the relocated summit. Parked roadside at SO 5037 0368. S on road to RoW which led easily to a nice ridge with some scary rocks. Stood on highest one for a GR and very gingerly backed off to safe ground. | jonglew | 20/10/2016 |
| From ne, car park, paths | RHW | 31/10/2015 |
| From Beacon Hill on forest tracks. Summit area very flat so had a good walk around and stood on top of the wall to be sure. UPDATE: unticked on this date as summit relocated a considerable distance, see revisit log 06/12/2020. | Tony J | 30/06/2015 |
