| Easy parking outside depot. Up track as others and visited the possible HPs described by Denise. Welcome shelter on track, breeze and increasingly heavy drizzle on top. Hunters Inn next but we didn't do any more hills in the poor, misty afternoon weather | pwheeler | 09/06/2022 |
| On level sheep pasture with coastal and inland valley views on lovely sunny day. Hp by comms enclosure per Abney, not earth bank nor within enclosure. Approached from delightful Heddon valley. | Denise | 11/07/2020 |
| From where RoW exits woods up sheep grazed pasture to summit area, gaps in the old walls and gateway on ridge line. Levelish pasture summit, high point next to fence of mast enclosure. Top of earth bank on NW side of summit is higher but man-made. | RichardM | 11/07/2020 |
