It is only a short walk from the car park but weather went from sunny to horizontal hail with thunder and lightning in a couple of minutes. Zero delay between flash and roar led me to hunker down in a small pit until the storm passed over I hope the shorts and singlet wearing runner made it back home safely. | M3WDD | 27/03/2016 |

Quick and easy ascent from small car park near cattle grid to west. Restricted views due to mist/haze. Beware of low flying Red Grouse! | David Gradwell | 30/12/2008 |
Anyone walking this top should make a 5 minute detour to see the Beacon Guards grave. Continue travelling SE after the summit and look for a small, but distinct, path leaving the PW travelling NE. After 100m or so look for the grave, marked by a stone, in the heather. Google it for more detailed descriptions and its story. | moorsman | 03/10/2008 |
