| A quick bag up the mast track. | robertphillips | 15/12/2023 |
| Parked opposite the farm, across the PROW, over a stile and greeted by plenty of sheep, quick and easy but excellent views. | matty1971b | 21/03/2023 |
| Parked at east end of lane as a wagon carrying gas cylinders was stuck further up. A 4wd vehicle reversed east and took a different route. The driver of a car coming down the hill sat and watched the wagon driver struggle. I gave him some tips for driving on icy hills and saw him back. Didn't even get a thanks from the selfish car driver, who might still have been sitting there now if it hadn't been for me. | Wycombe Wanderer | 16/01/2023 |
| Quick walk up the track. The view is amazing | Andrew Simmons | 01/08/2022 |
| Quick walk up the track from south, several inquisitive bullocks were pondering whether to come across to me but I didn't await their arrival. | Nick Canute | 28/05/2022 |
| Parked on verge by access track to mast, then an easy walk up. No stock in the field today but the grass was looking very lush. | milimana | 12/05/2022 |

| Second attempt after cows stubbornly stood in the way last week. Easy wander up from the road to the S. | JohnR | 13/09/2021 |
| Pleasant walk through pasture. Spectacular views after rain. Parked opposite the farm (appeared to be having an '80s disco in nearby barn) | M3WDD | 25/07/2021 |
| Park on road by the farm. Followed footpath. Inquisitive cattle (with bull), but managed to get around them | Moorponder | 16/07/2017 |

| With Fisky Boy. | Brenda Cloke | 09/07/2016 |

| Easily up access track from south to finely situated trig S6655 on the top. Full panorama spoilt only by the two nearby masts. | Aye Jimmy | 30/05/2015 |
| Parked below top and used access road to gain summit easily. Good views. | nordicstar | 19/02/2015 |
| Cheated on this one (well it had been a long day). Parked to the south and made the 300m return trip to the top. | moorsman | 18/09/2014 |
| Walked using RoW from Langley Lake - nice walk, about a mile each way. Could be done from minor road to the south but only 200 yards. Great views from the top - Cheviots clear as a bell, 50 odd miles away. | Crib Goch | 19/11/2013 |
| Parked on a side road near Catton. Walk uphill in the dry to find column 6655 at the top of the beacon 10.15. | arranc | 12/05/2012 |
