Steep up through the sodden fields and contour path round in the woods to the S and up again through pasture fields and open gate to the trig. Returned same way.

| Parked at the Y junction to the west, climbed first two fields but once on the forestry track had to go a long way to the North to get round and onto the summit. Try the opposite way because our way was way too muddy! | nickywood1 | 28/11/2017 |
