Parked in layby on A944 to south. Up through trees to join track to Littlewood Park. Met estate worker, he suggested longer route to east for ascent and straight down steeper route for return. Nice circular walk.

From Lodge to south, spot height 178. Parked on verge with permission - do not drive up excellent tarmac road thru' wood north - private road. Lovely walk up on mapped tracks. After all old buildings (but before new green shed), left on grassy tractor trods towards bracken. Track soon evident and good all way to top

Found whilst geocaching, some damage to pillar. Great views all around for a relatively easy climb!

Ascent from parking spot on A944 via a rough track to Littlewood Park then up a steep estate track only shown on 1:25k and back via the other track shown on the 1:50k. Robbie ran after a deer on the first rough track and then a few sheep way off in the distance on the estate track giving Mr TJR more than enough exercise chasing after him for one day!

Plenty of parking at spot height 203 at the junction of Terpersie Castle and Dubston. Followed the marked track past Dobston all the way to the trig. Hot and humid today but thankfully a breeze on top. With Nozzer.

Wild day, not a nice road to walk on at bottom- big fast forestry lorries, little verge back to parking bay.

Yet another trig pillar in this area cracked right through at FB height. Spider retains stamped font OS cap. Flush bracket faces south. Surrounding paths correct as shown on OS Landranger map.
