Updated Summary:
Approach from the south west
Short Summary created by Colin Murphy  14 Sep 2023
There is parking for one car next to gate at D15543 13011 starA. Walk back down the road to a sort of crossroads and turn NE up a track. (If there is anyone about you should ask for permission to access this.) Continue up this gently rising track, going through 2 gates, one of which has a rusty ‘Beware of bull’ sign. Continue up the track to its highest point (almost 322m ascent) and then turn NEE across the open hillside. The ground rises very gently for about 1.5km, but is mostly firm underfoot and just short grass or heather. The summit is marked by a trig pill. Allow 1 hour 40 minutes for return journey.
