Definitely well worth a visit. Easy climb if you are relatively fit :)

I'll give it a go next time. How long does it take to get up there at smokers pace? ;)

I think it was less than an hour. It was 8 years ago last time I did it, I was a touch stoned and got lost on the way up, so my timings aren't perfect ;)

An hour sounds good! Do you set off from the pub in the valley, further down from Copt Howe?
I had lunch there once, good place! ;) (The pub, not Copt Howe, although I'm sure lunch there is good too)

Er.... see prev comment for memory issues. Looking at the orange map I think I parked at one of the carparks about NY294064. I went and had a look at Copt Howe before going up the hill.
