| 10am, 1 degree and rising at Mitchell Lane, some snow and ice after a cold snap but high level cloud signals mild, wet weather returning. Judging by the number of footprints in the snow, a surprisingly frequented summit. Good view. 45 mins. | Wycombe Wanderer | 03/02/2019 |

| Nearly dark! Visited the trig point as well which felt higher. | IanHHill | 28/11/2017 |
| 2nd visit almost a year to the day since the 1st. In passing including the trig as well this time on a 12 mile walk circuit from Giggleswick to Hellifield and back with L and Martha the spaniel in spitting drizzle. | Chris Pearson | 26/10/2017 |
| Only 4-wheel drive vehicles should attempt to drive the lane up to it. Standard vehicles can approach from Settle and drive as far as the Mitchell Lane end (alt 284). Here turn right and drive for another 100m down the track until it widens out to form a good parking area. FRom here it is an easy walk to the summit. 2.19km return. 35 minutes | moorsman | 18/02/2017 |
| Be very cautious if trying to drive up close to the top in an ordinary car, the bottom of ours (Citroen C3) started scraping at 828623. Don't tell the_mrs_adam :P Convenient space to park here without blocking the farm gates though so I walked it from there. I noticed 3 places further up that appeared to give less clearance. | the_adam | 21/01/2017 |
| Walked steeply up 500 exhausting feet from Settle with L up Mitchell Lane which exhausted me as full of cold and aching. The summit was the limit of my 'mountaineering' today. Even the extra out and back to add the lower trig was too much today. Long chat with a lady artist sketching on way back down on this gorgeous blue sunny autumnal day. Back in Settle I drove back to cottage and straight to sleep whilst L walked the 5 miles back, having walked there(maintaining her 30,000 steps a day average) | Chris Pearson | 25/10/2016 |

| From N. Visited both potential summit locations (area of trig point and approx 300m to NE). | RobertP | 05/09/2015 |
| Drove right up the narrow road then kept going on the rough track and parked by two gates just below the summit. Doesn't need a 4x4 just a bit of care. There's an evil hump near the top of the tarmacked section. 5 minutes return from there. | ijpowell | 04/09/2014 |
