Parked on minor road to NW, near, but not blocking a gate- marginal. Gate access to summit field if you started by mapped 'mill'. Sheep pasture. Trig FB faces West on embankment; not certain where HP is but somewhere near. | Denise | 13/06/2023 |
From Down Lane. Best to start on the windpump side of the hedge line, sheep pasture and gates all the way. | RichardM | 13/06/2023 |
We parked at 6368 4416, off Down Lane, and left a note for the farmer. 35 min was enough for a walk up pleasant pastures to bag the trig, wall top and scout around for a HP at pasture level and get down before the rain | pwheeler | 09/06/2022 |
Camped in the first field with the permission of the farmer who was baling hay. Strolled up to the summit. | Eddie | 08/07/2019 |
