From parking area at Peep o Day. Footpath to proper summit then on to the now non-existent Trig and old High Point. A wall clamber required to reach the latter, along with Keep Out signage and CCTV threats ... best to ignore.summitter25/08/2024

Although walking up here countless times over the years I've never specifically looked for the true summit. I did this evening. It's a nice place and it would be good if the trigpoint were moved here as it is no longer sited in it's old position. /Dmeltdiceburg18/06/2024
