The approach descriptions in the guidebook have been rendered out of date by the construction of a new hospital. The approach now seems to follow a track along the boundary of the hospital nearest to the school, then up the woods and scree to the R. The guidebook descriptions of the approaches to Cheap Trick etc are hopeless as none of the mentioned features are visible.
