As of July 2019, the path to the summit has all but vanished under a dense covering of gorse, briars and intruding conifers. As you approach the clearing with the bench, the path can be found in the far right hand corner - you will have to pass through a low, narrow tunnel of gorse for about 6-7 metres. Things don't get much better after that. At times the path disappears completely and you will frequently encounter head-high gorse or briars. This continues almost all the way to the summit and is very unpleasant. I seriously suggest that you do not wear short sleeves and bring a machete!
