Visited towards the end of a long walk. Route to it through tall ferns route from it via pathless heather. Great views but I won\'t be rushing back.

Parked on road by white gas pipe marker. Slog straight up to trig through the deep heather was no fun. certainly had a sweat on ! Views good when I finally got there. Don`t think it gets many non-trigging visitors.

I see the previous visitor was my daughter! She found a better approach - I went up from approx 306m spot height on the road and met lots of deep heather

A short stroll up from the road along a good track used for access to the grouse butts near by followed on with probable sheep tracks to the trig

Crack above FB extending around two sides; otherwise in good condition. Plug intact. A dull afternoon but reasonable views E and SE towards Sheffield. Pathless but a steady plod up from the road.
