Squeezed into a muddy parking spot by Quarry Cottages at SJ16901976, gained ROWs via gate at SJ16501960. Tracks led to the nice ridge of this Hump. We noticed gates gave access to Jericho Hill so crossed grazing pastures to an even nicer little ridge, then returned via the old lane and ROW back to start. A pleasant start to a walking weekend with Pete based on Llanrhaedr-ym-Mochnantpwheeler03/05/2019
Parked on verge at SJ 16753 19585 and went NNE steeply through open woodland to climb over a low wall (just before it gets higher) not far from the summit to find Rick & Jen. Returned on the W side of the wall - not recommended with high dead bracken, gorse, holes & troughs.Jim.Fothergill23/11/2018
