Parking outside the church ... alt 900ft.... in Ratlinghope village. Head east along the road for 100m and take the unsurfaced road that crosses the river by a slab bridge. Turn right to cross a small stream then a path leads directly upwards to the summit. 1.31 miles return. 40 minutes easy pasture walking.moorsman20/04/2016
