| Trig first then SE to summit... Up grassy sheep field | vegibagger | 24/05/2021 |
| No RoW. Not in open access area. Summit appears to be on land adjoining private dwelling house. Nearest point of approach without trespassing seems to be road bend at NX996230. | Isbjorn | 20/01/2020 |
| Route and sentiments as moorsman! | Crib Goch | 19/11/2019 |

| Roadside verge parking at entrance to Syke Whinns Fm. Field gate and sheep pasture to hill top. | jonglew | 22/01/2018 |
| Field and road junction then nearby trig, with Darren. All quiet around these parts,as it was in 1915 down the road in Lowca until one night a German U boat sub broke the surface and for an hour shelled the chemical works which made an essential ingredient for TNT. | Chris Pearson | 01/11/2017 |

| Did the road junction and spot near house to SE. New road been put in to new dwelling, even closer to other top. | nordicstar | 10/04/2016 |
| Lane leading to Syke Whinns closed at moment except for access. Gas pipeline being laid across hill close to summit ! Took readings in field (gas board not working on Saturday) and at road junction, gave same height on my GPS device. | Aye Jimmy | 01/08/2015 |
| Two summits visited 1) in field near house; 2) at road junction to NNW, latter appears slightly higher although 1:10k map says 2m lower. | RHW | 17/05/2015 |
| Worst hill ever. Very boring and no view. In Workington for day popped up on way home. | mcbiydw2 | 21/09/2013 |
