Easy from Aiketgate, on the footpath. The ROC station on top was a surprise, with open shaft and descending ladder. I visited the adjacent field but it seemed no higher | Colin Crawford | 19/11/2023 |
1st off 11 'roadside' tumps in NE Cumbria (twixt Penrith & Carlisle) either side of a day trip Kendal to Dumfries to visit dentist & brother. Pitch black and raining out there before the miracle of our turning earth brought some photons to produce a grey dripping dawn as I arrived at Aiketgate. Wellies and golf umbrella order of the day for the wet grass and frequent showers. Natural summit is in first field 10 m past orange gas pole, but higher artificial summit and spot ht is on mound over ROC bunker over wall - but connecting gate too heavily barb wired - so gained by going back to b/w and next gate along angling back up. ROC lid missing with shaft open and ladder leading down. Met dog walker back on track who had parked behind me and got into a real lead tangle/ flap trying to control her two yapping poodles who reacted as though they had never seen another human before - presumably they never do on their early morning walk here. | Chris Pearson | 24/10/2023 |
Parked on the unsealed road at 482123 46517, up that road. Don't take the first gate just past the orange gas main marked but the next one which goes into the summit field. | clivevilla | 16/04/2023 |
Plentiful parking down the first section of the unsealed road SW from Aiketgate. Follow the road as it becomes a rough track to a gate just past the summit. After passing the summit go left through a gate and cross the field to the highest point. | moorsman | 04/08/2022 |
Quick walk up from Aiketgate along the byway and through the metal gate (grass not crop field) goes straight to the top in two minutes. 15 minutes in total. | nickywood1 | 04/01/2022 |
HNY. Will have to remember to say 22 from tomorrow. | Martin R | 31/12/2021 |
Walked in from Aiketgate on the lane. Farmer was spreading lime but he ignored me. | JohnW | 24/06/2021 |
While on the summit got a txt from work to say I was on furlough | Adrian | 02/11/2020 |
From the NW along lane from the farm, gate into the field area, then to the top, went over to area near wall to the west looked as high | robertphillips | 07/10/2020 |
P in lane near Beech House | chrisbien | 18/07/2020 |
From the lane to the south. Liked the boulder used to seal the ROC post. | fasgadh | 19/02/2020 |
Parked to the NW in lane NY480466. | David Evans | 22/04/2019 |
ROC post at summit. high ground in adjacent field as high? | cjo | 10/03/2019 |
Up the old lane from the SE. A big tree has fallen quite recently a little way up. | jenx | 03/03/2019 |
Repeat w Jenx and Bryher, up the lane from SE this time. Pasture better than mown wheat | nordicstar | 03/03/2019 |
Drove up farm track to field gate; quick nip over to the hill top. HP seems to be NW end of the Armathwaite ROC Post. | jonglew | 24/05/2018 |
From NW. Excellent parking up lane | jimbloomer | 18/08/2016 |
Walked down lane from NW until convenient gateway into crop field and very young plantings. Around edges of field, any semblance of stealth negated by loud bellowing from frisky cows in next field. | Aye Jimmy | 25/10/2015 |
Full grown crop field- worked round edge of field to spot height | peebs | 16/07/2015 |
ROC bunker is highest point; natural HP may be a few m away. Easy access from NW | RHW | 05/10/2014 |
On way to work. Parked also at farm entrance. Easy up lane then into field through gate. Two tops, one has old water reservoir on top, probably man made, other is in middle of field. Mown corn fortunately for me. | nordicstar | 19/09/2014 |
From North. Parking in lane at farm leading to track to hill. | Minto | 18/01/2014 |
