6/9 on a 17 mile round from Clun Mill hostel in very good spring weather - sunny with a chill in the air. From Bryn on longest stretch of road walking of the day. RoW NW from three Gates until on E side of the hill, then directly W to summit. Sunken water tank at top. On to Myndtown Hill. | jonglew | 26/03/2017 |
A gentle stroll after Myndtown Hill with Iain Brown who just had to stand on its buried water tank, a common feature of Shropshire hill summits. | Dugswell2 | 26/03/2017 |

1st hill of today from the Offas Dyke path. I left my large rucksack tucked away in corner of next field that Offas Dyke path goes into and then Steady climbed to the top. Nice aspect with embedded water tank. Dropped down side direct for Track en-route to Myndtown hill. | Dazingdale | 16/10/2016 |

From SW. One of the wasiest of the day. Were treated to a low pass by a heli which surely indulged us by doing a circle over the valley coming past a second time even closer. Summit has a water tank or similar embedded in it. The vent is a cracking microphone. 12th of the day with Laura.w. | stig_nest | 06/05/2016 |
With stig_nest. Oddly the only things I remember are the helicopter and the microphone :) | Laura.W | 06/05/2016 |
Parking on the verge to the SW. Pass through the bridle gate at head straight upwards. The climb can be made easier by carrying on along the path after the gate until it reaches the first fence. From here the ascent is less steep. | moorsman | 20/04/2016 |
