The sections by the trig point are all linked by stiles so access to summit is not an issue.Ranger10118/03/2024

From Galloway Gate with Mart between showers. Great views and lots of curlews.John Eley24/06/2023
From Galloway Gate with James, Julie, Gareth and Benji. Used slate steps to climb over wall and head up to summit following vague path to right of fence. Path was wetter and steeper than anticipated, and windy throughout, but views from summit were spectacular. Three Peaks, Aye Gill Pike, Baugh Fell, Wild Boar Fell, and beyond them Scafell, Scafell Pike and Great Gable. Completes English and Welsh Hewitts, 46 years after starting with Snowdon.peter4lc20/04/2023
Part of training for Fellsman, ran up from Dent. Nice Hill. Forlorn trig point in a puddle.HardenC16/04/2023
With Heather. Parked in normal area at start of bridleway. Walked the long way round, and then up a trodden path on left side of stone wall . Some stiles at summit - allows access to a stone seat. Bitterly cold day with frozen puddles. What a selection of hills to be seen. Returned the shorter way back to car.VerySlowPlodder08/03/2023

Starting from standard point on Bridleway, met a friendly shooter. He recommended I followed the fenceline which I was happy to. I was making a beeline!davechaffey24/11/2022
Parked at bridleway, followed it to the fence. After the start (south side of fence), then up north side of fence/wall mostly - drier. Misty but not yet raining as impending storm not arrived.iangalbraith02/11/2022

1 of 3 on 18.2 mile walk out of hawes. Took the long way round and followed the dismantled railway line which was very scenic all the way to mossdale tunnel then got onto stone track which led a good way to the summit before trekking over touch ground and having a small break on the middle of widdale little tarn before summit.

Easy sort one after Calf Top. Parked in the area above Dent station where the road meets the Pennine bridleway. Walked along the track before following a fence (squelchy in parts) gently (after Calf top) to the summit. Bagged a geocache before heading home. Good weather gave views from Pendle Hill to Sca Fell.robphys19/06/2022
