Parked on wide verge opposite a cottage at SN73114 33935, S along the road to the gated track. Should have gone straight on at the first junction (SN73208 33849), but continued right on the main track, ending up zig-zagging around on new, dug out tracks to a gate opposite the small rise S of the summit. Grassy walk to the summit, then through 'gerrybowes' gate at SN73731 33965 , right along the track following gerry's route much more directly down to the road.LizH01/06/2022

Space for one car at start of forest track to WSW. Up track, left at first corner, then left again at major junction much higher up. This leads to a gate into summit field. Visited summit, trig and the other highpoints.PGCE01/04/2021
Up the logging track from WSW then a couple of lesser tracks before popping out in pasture and following the edge of the forest NE to the summit.clivevilla06/02/2019

As per arranc. Start of walk deceptive, best to use new loggers road which is good to SN 73420 33775 where path is no longer maintained and may well become impassible in a year or 2. Breaks out of woodland onto hill top sheep pasture at SN 73728 33960 where it's a pleasant 200m walk across to summit and Black Wood trig pillar.jonglew24/08/2014
Parked outside forest access point. Lot of felling going on. On zig zag tracks to a gate at the top (watch for trailing brambles). Through gate and over grass to column 5539 at 12.35.arranc03/05/2014
