Grassy sheep field with two domes. One has small enclosure with concrete topped reservoir and is higher, if natural. Both visited. Bright clear day and good views. | Denise | 22/11/2020 |
From lane to S. an awkward double BWF to cross. High point in low fenced enclosure with sunken reservoir and bench seat of sorts. Strange mound and ridges to NW appear of relatively recent origin. Grassy SW Top feels a little lower. Sheep in field. | RichardM | 22/11/2020 |
Verge park SJ 23083 27355 and thru' makeshift gate. Fence by summit difficult so climbed over at SJ 27027 27523 (to north of top) | carole engel | 01/11/2020 |
Parked on grass verge opposite gateway SJ230273, then as Rob Pen y Garn. | David Evans | 27/04/2019 |
Via gate and track to south. Met the landowner on the way down, a pleasant lady who was more perplexed than cross with me and offered to direct me to some nice walks. I followed baggers' protocol by NOT explaining PRECISELY what I was up to. The view is particularly fine - I must walk round here more. | Wycombe Wanderer | 06/09/2018 |
Parked on verge opposite gateway. Short steep climb up over pasture. | Campbell Singer | 24/08/2018 |
Parked at road junction to the E, walked back along road to gates. Directly up short steep hill and another gate into field of cows and calves (no problem). Couple of summits, near hedge or by fenced enclosure. | Aye Jimmy | 15/10/2017 |
This one has frustrated me as I pass by on the way to work every day but usually a couple of curious horses are nearby. Said I'd had enough today, bomb d up the S track the intothe top field. Summit seems to be in an enclosure,careful as there is a small brick shaft. Also a mysterious tumulus in the field, ascended as well. Looked.for alltgoch then but just had a look at sycarth instead | tumpawumpa | 28/05/2017 |
Parking alongside the animal pens to the south. A couple of gates to climb over then a short climb to the stop. 250m return trip. just over 5 mins. | moorsman | 17/05/2017 |

Parked in gateway at SJ230273, then up track to the left. At top of the hill right through small gate into field and summit. | Rob Pen y Garn | 18/05/2016 |
