Parked to East, then same route as Dan to memorial cairn and HP.PeterD12/08/2022
Parked east of hill and followed forest track to where footpath comes from north. From there headed south on track and picked up good little path that headed all the way through woods to top. No views on summit. Returned same way. Eventhough this is marked as private land on OS maps it does seem to have a country park feel to it. 66m ascent. High cloud. Afterwards we drove to and bagged Gop Hill and Y Foel.DanTrig11/06/2022
Up track from the east. From the branch track junction towards the summit there has been extensive recent felling which is currently being cleared making progress somewhat tortuous. Summit area still has woodland.vuirich24/03/2022
