| Roadside parking available alongside the start of the bridleway to the east. Don't try and shortcut across the large field as this leads you to an uncrossable fence. If do you will then have to follow this fence NW to a point where it joins the original bridleway as it leaves the field you are in. Here you will find a gate into the summit field! Just follow the original path here instead. | moorsman | 17/06/2018 |
| Not quite to summit as cows and dogs don't mix, could have gained summit field from NW. 4 hr circular from South Brent. with L and Finn the Pointer who had to be kept on a lead due to sheep on the moors which he would have chased given half a chance. Later he enjoyed chasing sticks instead intto the river on and off the slippery rocks at Shipley Bridge. Even with his claws he could'nt get a grip on the slime at times - comedy skating. Later he bounced off a wire fence he ran into at full speed - whilst playing chase with another dog -luckily uninjured. Quite an outing for Finn. Arrived back to awful news of the London Tower block fire. | Chris Pearson | 14/06/2017 |
| From ENE: pasture or one of two outcrops. | RHW | 14/04/2014 |
| Gave up on this one. Tried to ask at Gisperdown farm but no one in. Then had to negotiate electric fence and field of young cattle, to double BW fenced hedge. All no problem except the summit field contained yet more frisky cattle and the gate at SX 6998 6322, was bound with yet more BW, a Keep Out sign and a double electric fence. Being a TuMP, thought not worth the wrath of the anti-bagger farmer | carole engel | blank |
