Entry gate opposite SW end of lay by.jimbloomer12/08/2022
Lay-by at summit. Grass in field over gate is noticeably higher. Solo.Dangerous Dave01/08/2022
Parked in convenient track entrance at road col( also lay by). Noted that Lidar puts summit on road but we also explored the domed grass field to SE of road, which felt marginally higher and Abney assessment seemed to confirm ??? Nice view point; pity about the traffic, but easy bag.Denise 29/07/2022
Very convenient layby. Grass in field looked higher.Minto29/07/2022
I agree with others that the HP is in the field, so a drive over doesn't quite cut it. You need to leave the car, however briefly.Colin Crawford27/07/2022
Got out the car for a very easy bag.David Bremner19/05/2022
