Besides the few tops that are actually driveable, this is probably the simplest bag I’ve ever had. It’s literally 10 minutes to top. There is an entrance to a site of some sort where you can squeeze a car without blocking it, and there’s also another entrance across the road with a locked gate and a sign, where you can probably park as you’ll only be gone 25 minutes.
The track next to bungalow
Walk 50m west to a dormer bungalow and just inside the entrance gates you’ll see a track on the left. Ask permission if anyone around, just in case. The day I did it there was no one to ask.
Track turns grassy for a bit.
Followed this winding track up hill for 5 minutes, then had to clamber awkwardly over a ditch, which took me into an area covered with short heather. A trig pillar 100m away marked the top. I lingered in the glorious sunshine, which probably added 10 minutes to my walk, but you could probably bag this up and down in 20 mins.
Summit trig.
