| Taken an oath to not return. An obstacle course. Wading up the canal road, discovered one of my wellies has a leak. If Jonathan/Minto cut through the vegetation at the stile it must have grown back quickly - someone has placed plenty thorny branches across it. Continued to where fallen trees block the bridleway, awkward climb over a wall and limbo dance beneath bwf. Then same as others. Repeat for descent. Great Curse Hill. | Martin R | 08/01/2024 |
| Domed sheep pasture with rock outcrops and sea views. Very flooded in valley to west. From road end then track to NW after Alp. | Denise | 30/12/2023 |
| Drove along canal like lanes to park on bend to Be W of Hill. Easy enough ascent from there. No engineering works, either gone, or in another location. | Minto | 29/12/2023 |
| No parking near the engineering works on the northern road approach. So, from SD310792, parking x 1 in brambles at track start, N, on old rly then R to Pheasant Field farm, where the occupant advised that the RoW is blocked near Mossdale Cottage. Continued up grass track to seeming dead end, but RoW turns hard R then ladder stile on L, completely overgrown - cut a way through, then 2 gates to negotiate. | Isbjorn | 27/07/2022 |
| Parked at the end of the gravel track to the west of the hill. There's a small parking area near the railway bridge. Then a route that took me through fields and the wood to the south of the hill. Easier route back going due west and through convenient gates. | Alan Caine | 12/06/2021 |
| The only parking is in a pull-in a very short distance down the minor road. No other suitable places are available along the roads. Walk down the roads to the start of the mud-track and there is a ladder-stile giving access into the pasture. Go diagonally across the field to an open gate and then easily up to the summit. First bump is the summit. | moorsman | 14/05/2021 |
| Parked at Moss Nook, to west of hill and followed tracks to arrive beneath the hill using the disused railway track for a short way. Hopped over the low wall and direct to summit. Back same way. 30 Mins or so. Nice views | nickywood1 | 07/11/2020 |
| Parked by works then same as others. That stile does seem to suggest a warm welcome | Colin Crawford | 03/03/2019 |
| Parked near dismantled railway then as Jonglew but didn't need to climb fences. | Wycombe Wanderer | 20/01/2019 |
| Parked by the engineering(?) works (SD 3102 8008). Ladder stile leads into a pasture; double b/w stock fencing to negotiate. Night ascent. | jonglew | 04/12/2018 |
| 9th and final tump of the day on a 33.37km route from Cark station to Ulverston cimbing Mount Barnard, Ellerside, Old Park Wood, Reake Hill, Stribers Brow, Grassgarth Heights, Newby Haw and Arrad Hill, descending to a gate onto the main road then a minor lane to a track and from there two fields and upto the summit Rocks. A very tiring but satisfying day then on a minor lane past Moss Nook and Causeway End to the A590 and from there on a tarmacked track passing below the Hoad monument to arrive in Ulverston for my Airbnb accommodation. | Dazingdale | 30/03/2018 |
| As per jimbloomer's instructions. Tried to find the other end of the footpath on the way out of the field but with no luck. Fell running. V. muddy underfoot and quite a bit of black ice on approach roads. Easy 3.2km from the farm's holiday cottage where we were staying. With GFE. | Fionalevey | 15/12/2017 |
| In the low gloom on a fascinating 3hr circular walk from Ulverston with L. Friendly owner at Barn End pointed out the stile onto the hill. Descended SE via field gates to Levens Viaduct and coastal fp / limestone foreshore to Canal Foot - swans, history of canal and children's poetry on display. Passed the Glaxo Kline biopharmaceutical manufacturing facility,then by permissive fp into Conishead Priory Buddhist Centre for a look around (passing the workshop where buddha statues were being made). | Chris Pearson | 31/10/2015 |
| From wnw, nice but jb route sounds easier | RHW | 01/08/2015 |
| Followed jb's instructions - thanks. Very pastoral, sheep with lambs everywhere and fine viewpoint. Visited the nearby SE summit too. | Aye Jimmy | 16/04/2015 |
| Parked at SD310800. Encouraging stile from bridleway into field just past Barn End at SD 3137 7988. Cracking views. | jimbloomer | 09/01/2014 |
