| Solo from Chelmorton to Chelmorton Low then over to Sough Top and back to the village. | Glenelg | 19/04/2023 |
| Parked by Church Inn. Though gate to access land, bridleway going NW then farmer's track slanting back to just below the summit. From the HP a more obvious track went S, easy to zigzag down steep ground just above bridleway. Our luck with the showers ran out on this hill, which looked worth spending longer upon. Instead, we hurried down and enjoyed sitting by the stove in the inn with a super pint of Pedigree. | pwheeler | 16/03/2023 |

| Parked at end of the road to the south in Chelmorton, through the gate on to the steep hillside and straight up. Cattle at the top but they ran off when I got there. I thought we were going to have a stand off as they were on the summit to start with. | clivevilla | 28/10/2020 |

| From the RoW below. Walls are all tumbledown so no issues. Sheep on summit showed indifference to my presence. Amazing views from the top. | Wheelsy | 12/08/2020 |
