From 568 to south. Good start on bridleways then predictable hack. | Wycombe Wanderer | 28/08/2022 |
Parking spaces on the summit of Allenheads Road. Public bridleway across Carrshield Moor to join Isaacs Tea Trail then up across the heather to summit. A lovely sunny, spring morning. Came back over Blackway Head (571m). Solo. | Dangerous Dave | 18/03/2022 |

As moorsman, bridleway from high point on Allenheads Road, then Issac's Tea Trail, before heading across reasonable heather moor due north to summit. Two cairns near summit, one on right obviously lower. | Fisky Boy | 09/07/2016 |

Parking available at the summit of the Allanheads road then a fairly easy walk deviating off Isaac's Tea Trail at a suitable point. | moorsman | 24/10/2013 |
Started up grassy lane from Field Study Centre near Carr Shields. Lot of heather in upper parts. High point could be one of several boulders near to tall cairn. Grousebeaters seemed irked by my presence. | Aye Jimmy | 31/08/2013 |
Boggy trackless yomp from Brownley Hill. Stood for a personal minute's silence at the Currick at 11am. | Crib Goch | 11/11/2012 |
