From Leck House, though I parked about a half mile earlier than I needed to. On to Crag Hill then back the same way. Less boggy but more breezy than expected. | squeegs | 22/03/2024 |

From campsite in Dent. Up onto the ridge, Great Coum, Green Hill and Gragareth and back via Crag Hill trig. Blustery and low cloud so no views. Very wet under foot. With Gillian. | richard69 | 30/09/2023 |

Using track from high point of road to the E. Parking for one or two cars. | govanah | 25/04/2023 |
From Dent village car park, up bridleway to tee junction. Straight across onto moor, wet and tussocky all the way. Returned down faint atv track to NE. Not much better. | iangalbraith | 03/11/2022 |
After a deluge of rain I parked at the high point of the Dent to Ingleton road. There was just enough room to park on the grass close to the bridleway. I followed this round to the foot of Green Hill. I noticed a small wooden gate so went through it and followed a faint path up to the summit ridge which was swathed in cloud. Sadly quite a lot of the drystone walls appear to have been damaged. I visited the summits very tiny cairn in Cumbria and managed to get round to the Lancashire cairn with a bit of a detour to avoid doing any damage to the walls. I then followed a good path to the County Stone which had some graffiti dating back to the 1800’s. I carried on in the mist to the summit of Great Coum. The summit was very flat so hard to tell the actual summit. Visited the possible high points as well as the small summit cairn. I returned by the same route and as I descended the tops cleared and the sun came out. Time taken 1 hour 50 minutes for 5.5 miles and 895 foot of ascent. Nobody | isabelle | 28/10/2022 |

With Val. Parked below Leck Fell House and walked short distance up track before turning steeply up to ascend Gragareth. Followed ridge north over Green Hill to Great Coum. Very wet and boggy in places. Returned to col south of Green Hill and descended over rough wet ground to end of track which was followed to the start. Weather fine. Summit cairn is the other side of a wall from the cairn that could easily be mistaken for the summit cairn. | mike.hoult | 07/09/2019 |

From road end at 723823. The surfaced track stops after 2k and becomes a bog. Descending from the summit I managed to step up to my knees in a horrible bog which looked quite innocuous. This East side of the hill is quite wet in places. | NormanW | 23/02/2019 |
