| A cold, wet, miserable day for my second visit. Walked the entire perimeter. No gaps in the surrounding fence, no unlocked gates, no way in. On this basis, although I feel a tad guilty, I am counting it as a bag. | moorsman | 18/12/2021 |
| Spent 3 hours on site today. Circumnavigated the whole perimeter fence but no possible access into summit area. Approached fence from both Womersley (most of which is along a public road) and from the east but this means crossing a wide ditch (impossible) and then the fence. Please could one of the previous posters .... or even the next ones .... let others know how to gain access. | moorsman | 17/11/2021 |
| No access but would you like a summit photo ? Commons in Cumbria are usually open access. | Dugswell2 | 13/07/2020 |

| 18.30 shortly after sunset in a clear blue sky.... a prize indeed | vegibagger | 22/03/2020 |
| 11 degrees, light cloud, calm, with Miranda. Fortunately the ground in the area around the hill had dried out after some rare days without rain. Nice woodland on the approach. Slightly surreal hillwalking, the highest part is beautifully landscaped with a tarn and mixed plantation. Also visited the south top, with it's southern knife-edge ridge. Where there's a hill there's a way. Rain started 10 mins before end of walk. Gales compleated. | Wycombe Wanderer | 14/03/2020 |

| Walked the full perimeter to which there was a moat and huge metal barbed wire fence warning to stay out so at the risk of getting caught or arrested on that basis Im bagging it | The-Z-Man | 10/04/2019 |

| Visited with a lot of effort, pretty sure that it was avoidable! Recorded 70m at the North side of the copse and 72m near the Mini turbine contraption. Back the same way. Parked on Whitefield lane in layby. An adventurous foray... Topo section R01 re-completed! | Dazingdale | 05/08/2018 |

| Third visit, but first time a way in was found. Summit very vague, a flat field crowned by a small transmitter(?) with mini-turbine and solar panel. Wonder what that's for? Went to N side of copse to another (lower) top. | Aye Jimmy | 15/05/2018 |
