Logged Descriptions  (logged by 40 users)ByDate of Ascent
From Kettleton Bridge, through Burns Farm and 3 fields to the start of the ascent passed the sheepfold following the obvious ditch, deviating off it as you get higher to reach the trig pillar. Then it is a trudge across tussocks to the spot height summit. Headed for the track again at Morton Park which was followed back to the carWayne Mac07/01/2024

From verge parking just E of junction to Burn farm. Through farmyard and up marked track almost to the most amazing track end car park. Up to sheepfold, and path along old earth dyke. Trig point easily reached, bit of a tussocky bog-hop to the claimed high point, though it didn't feel so.Minto14/02/2022
