Short walk on a grey morning after parking on the minor road to the SE. Former lead mining area so do not eat the grass. | Dugswell2 | 12/01/2018 |
Parking on the road to the east from where the trig is visible. Over a wooden gate then direct walk to the trig. Only 10 minutes return (If that) | moorsman | 28/11/2017 |
As David Gradwell. | David Evans | 15/10/2017 |
From Elton, on a blisteringly hot day. Up the footpath running up the west side, then off piste to the top, and back down the road. Shorts not recommended, lots of stinging nettles. Route not recommended either, too much barbed wire and mine spoil to negotiate. No point being purist, just bag it from the road. Carried on to Anthony Hill, which is much, much better. | Gill | 25/05/2017 |
