SandyG visited on 26th Sep 2019 - their rating: Cond: 5 Amb: 5 Access: 3 Limited parking is available at SX 26006 76124. From here walk north along the bridleway to SX 25940 76282 where the left branch in the track should be followed. The lower slopes of the hill are covered in dense vegetation and it is easy to get lost in the myriad of small tracks, but experience showed that it is best to stick to the more clearly defined ones or alternatively visit in the winter or spring when the vegetation is likely to be less of a problem. It is certainly worth making the effort.
