| From the Teggs Nose Car Park we walked on a road for a bit then onto a path that went up and down and through a stream then over a stile to the left over a small field then over another stile on to a road where there was a big house on it we went up the road into a dark forest on the right of it, the forest was creepy and foggy then we exited the forest onto a path on the left which took us to the top.

| Accessed via various ROWs and bike tracks from Tegg's Nose Visitor Centre. Happy for others to determine the actual summit point ... I reckon we covered all likely alternatives. | summitter | 19/05/2022 |

| For a change I went over Whitehills today on the way from Macclesfield Forest to Teggs Nose. Nothing to recommend the hill as it is covered in trees but the lane is pleasant. | Alan Moore | 20/12/2020 |

| Parked in cp on bend of road to SE at Macclesfield Forest. Up a rocky land then dived into the forest and stomped around a bit on the flattish summit. Difficult to be more specific than 967727 as the forest is quite dense. | clivevilla | 13/12/2016 |
| Solo | simon and co | 01/12/2016 |
