From the limited parking in the disabled car park at 4:30pm, with no one else around. Grey misty views around Lakeland to end a fine year of bagging. Then had a few words with my Mum ('s ashes) nearby.Minto31/12/2023

A very tiny car park to the SW where the path starts. Pass through the gate and walk as far as the end of the wood. Then head upwards along a good track. After reaching a point level with the summit head across the easy grassland to it.moorsman20/05/2022

Easily accessible above the bridleway from Tarn Hows. Cold and low cloud obscured what otherwise is probably a good viewpoint.Karmakarl14/01/2018

What a daft and unimaginative name for a hill, or indeed a fell. Easy ascent up double gravel track through trees from gate at end of National Trust disabled viewing car park (no we didn't park there). Obvious top with excellent views and so much quieter than the tourist path around Tarn Hows just below. Did a quick circuit of lake then off for a pint at the Drunken Duck, which still has excellent beer even if food overpriced gastro.Hillsidenick02/05/2017
