Description:

Good parking at the Forestry Commission gate at NO716777. Start by following the commission track. At the first Y take the right fork & shortly after go straight on where a track leaves to the right. Continue following the commission track till it comes to a T junction. At this point go straight over the T to follow a path up through the forest. Go straight over the next commission track to continue following a path up through the forest. This takes you over Black Hill (NO706786) & eventually to another commission track at NO700788. Turn left here until you come to the fire breaks, there is one to the right (N) & opposite two in a V to the left (S). Follow the break North for about 100 m looking to the left. The trig point is hiding in the woods on the left about 10m into the woods along a short path.
