| Parked on road verge opposite farm entrance at SD 70089 32257 (don't block the gate). Followed public footpath through two metal gates on right after entering farm drive. The footpath signs are conspicuous by their absence (there are none). Followed footpath for a bit then left it for ascent to summit trig pillar. A fairly easy and civilised ascent. Could be different when cows in field? | David Gradwell | 09/06/2013 |
