Parked by the reservoir at SO 08965 31163, and took the lane up to the buildings at Pen yr Allt. Then though a gateway and ascent WSW up through sheep pastures to the summit. Returned via a gate a little further north to the lane. 1.5km, with 70m of ascent.Man of Kernow111/11/2023

Easy parking by reservoir at SO 0896 3116 - Up track past superb garden & summerhouse to large cottage where friendly owner saw me pondering & came out to give directions - Over field gate opposite the summerhouse & although electric fence may have been turned off, chose to go through a break in fence to N. of trig point.

Loads of parking at reservoir entrance. Walked to farm where no one was about, but rang bell at bungalow with lovely garden and asked permission being told it was not his hill but farmer did not mind. Just a shot walk to summit round 2 fields rolling under electric fence to avoid any shocks. Nav the same way.mntainman20/04/2021
Parked in lay-by just short of Pen-yr-Allt Farm. Asked the nice people at the first house, who were tending their lovely vegetable garden, if ok to climb their hill. They were familiar with the bagging tradition and pointed the way, smiling, knowingly.Pete West19/09/2020
No one at home, so carried on through gate. Great views.PGCE05/02/2020
Cycled up to Pen Yr Allt. No one at home so went through gate at back and up around to the trig. Wonderful views.Rob Rees20/11/2019
From north. Asked permission as others suggested. The lady said she was not the landowner but the farmer did not mind. She even showed me which gate to go through and warned me of the electric fence which she said was quite powerful.clivevilla21/08/2018
Parked at entrance to farm (SO089309) and asked permission which was readily given - lovely people.Ramblingpaul16/08/2018

Visited in half-light and mist. Turned into a little mini adventure climbing several fences and gates, but got there in the end.Alex C24/10/2012
Park on verge outside a bungalow. farm yard with barking dogs. many gates but no signs. horrendous 30 mins. trying to move west, crossing BWFs and moving N uphill to join a track with signs of timber felling, tracked vehicles, etc. Frisky bullocks and calves haring about. To the top at 16.15. Seeing the farm below, to escape the herd, I dropped down to cross an electric fence (got a sudden shock), through the yard to the road and downhill to the car. Why isn't this the recommended way up?arranc07/08/2012
Not as polite as Des. I just crept around the back of the house. Inquisitive horse in field.Martin R01/08/2011
Parked on the road to the NE about 400m from the top. Lady allowed me to walk through the private house land and on to the top.destaylor10/06/2010
