Route: leaving the car at the carpark at Felldyke (full, because of runners) and taking the path to and beside Cogra Moss. Just where the water ends, taking a clear but narrow path heading diagonally uphill to reach the saddle down from Low Pen and a wide forest road. There having been no obvious path uphill to the right up to this point, taking an arbitrary line up into the pine forest where the gaps between trees seemed most promising. After a while, trending slightly left but then, as light became visible, right to find a stile through the fence. Then steeply uphill on a clear narrow path to the summit. Continuing in roughly the same direction but following a path initially too much to the left, then too much to the right, before taking a pathless beeline to the corner of the forestry plantation, over a gate, down by a path and then swinging right over dodgy stiles to meet the outward path.
Conditions: initial rain abating but thick cloud shrouding the summit.Pub: the Royal Yew, Dean, joined by Janet for Teactor Shed Mowdy Pale and a good value lunch.
