Wooley Hill from GR: NZ 18209 39385 | ronaldo333 | 18/12/2022 |
Parked next to gate at top of lane and over sheep pasture before entering summit field to east via gate. | Campbell Singer | 03/01/2020 |
also crossed into field to E of the wall, seemed higher | Adrian | 03/11/2017 |
66km cycle ride from home to visit 7 of East Durham's esoteric hill tops. Great way to bag hills. 
Left bike in gateway at top of road south of Wooley Hill. Followed wall to hill crest. | John Lee | 10/10/2017 |
Took moorsman's advice and went up to the wall from the road junction | madaddo | 07/04/2017 |
Initially tried to climb from the road to the west. Had to give up due to head high, vicious gorse. A much easier way is from the lay-by at the road junction, over the fence and directly upwards. Under 10 minutes return. | moorsman | 29/08/2016 |
Top by wall | peebs | 31/03/2016 |
Several laybys in minor road to S. Gate into field then followed wall to crest, very similar to Billy Hill. Attracted a flock of 'woollies'. | Aye Jimmy | 20/12/2014 |
From minor road to S, over gate and alongside wall to highpoint in field NZ 18141 39575 | Crib Goch | 21/10/2014 |
