| Parked to east, along forest track then SW to HP area. Lots of possible HPs. | PeterD | 08/04/2023 |
| Along forest track to W. | PGCE | 01/05/2022 |
| Open mature conifer forest. Even the cycle makes it to the summit. | RichardM | 30/03/2021 |
| From the track to the west. Indeterminate top in the pleasant mossy floored forest. Encountered a large fox. | Campbell Singer | 29/12/2019 |

| Plenty of parking at each end of forestry track. Forestry work currently taking place so access may be limited at times. Flat top somewhere in the trees. | heavyhorses | 15/04/2017 |
| Park near start of forest track then it is a fairly simple back from there with Iain Brown. | Dugswell2 | 26/03/2017 |
| Not with others. | Dusty | 26/03/2017 |
| From WNW on a wide vehicle access track to a fire break. SW along there to 448m spot height shown on 1:50k mapping, but not on my 1:25k map. Easy last hill of the day. | jonglew | 25/03/2017 |
| 5/14 Fifth of Fourteen Shropshire and area peak bagging day (Burrow/Sunny Hill/Garn Rock Hill/Dowke Hill/Black Mountain/Hergon/Bryn Hill/Colebatch Hill/Reith Top/Oakley Mind/Norbury Hill/Corndon Hill/Lan Fawr/Stapeley Hill) | Fergalh | 17/09/2016 |
| With stig_nest | Laura.W | 01/05/2016 |
| Agree with Clive higher ground nearby. Very sproingy moss makes for fun walking but watch out for the slippery branches underfoot. | stig_nest | 01/05/2016 |
| Large pull in at the start of the forest track. Easy gate to negotiate then a brisk walk to the relevant firebreak. Summit appears to be mid way along this break. | moorsman | 20/04/2016 |
| As Anton except slightly smaller ride (about 5-10 yards before deforested area on left) leads directly to what I believe is the high point at 19158 83232. | clivevilla | 07/12/2015 |
| From SO187835. A less than satisfying tick. | summitsup | 24/12/2014 |
| Start from gate at West end of forest, on track to first main firebreak on right, just where deforested area starts on left, firebreak will take you to spot height. | Anton | 04/03/2014 |
