| parked at start of Waskerley way, 11 km circular run via Collier Law and Weatherhill incline. | PreCambrianLife | 02/03/2017 |
| From public footpath signpost halfway uphill to Fellhaven. The path doesn't exist on the ground. Dogs not permitted on the hill except on public rights of way, hence the strange choice of route! With Eire, Evan, Sail, Danu, Coel & Alfie. | Dangerous Dave | 03/09/2016 |
| With Jo, from Fell Haven alongside fence, returning through Millstone Quarries. Weather: overcast, breezy, good visibility. | amblerbob | 30/06/2016 |
| Started at Fell Haven and walked along Wilkinson's Cut to Meadows Edge and then the track to the mast branching off right off the track onto another track which was followed to the trig and top. Next a walk along the moor to the B6278 by a small quarry marked on the 2.5 OS map but couldn't see it. Over the road and across the moor to the top of Collier Law and down the mast track to Fell Haven. Moor a bit wet in places and quite a bit of quod bike track to help. Definitely a grouse moor with the odd grouse flying up from the ground by my feet. | MikeM | 10/04/2016 |
| Out and back on track - easy going. | SS | 12/03/2016 |

| Easy walk up in the mist today. | Walker Dan | 15/02/2015 |
| Parked at road beside locked gate, had a good walk to summit/trig, 4km round trip. Good to see a cleaned up site on top of a hill, how often does that happen? Nice jog down back to car. | nordicstar | 11/11/2014 |
| As stated by others, the mast has joined the choir invisible. The gate was open and, although I walked from the road it would have been possible to drive to the summit. The reason I didn't was because the first 200m look very rough, however, they are better than they appear from the gate and, afterwards, it smooths out quite significantly. 2.95 miles 1 hour return. | moorsman | 18/09/2014 |
