Walked up through woods from road junction past the large house and barns to open field.cjo12/02/2023
parked to the south of woods, through wooden gate into paddock along N the edge of wood to metal gate where a nice easy angled path takes you up to the maize field. GPS out to determine high spotgrumpy03/02/2023
Summit by fence at north end of maize field, not as POI in woods. Easiest route is jim's; turn into road going SE, parking at S end of wood. Go back towards junction, over gate and follow edge of wood to anorther gate, NE up track through woodhenryfm27/08/2022
Gilling Heights from GR: SE 61990 76060. From road straight into the trees, its possible to walk to summit just within the tree cover. Summit area very flat and covered in a crop of maize.ronaldo33322/09/2021
From S. Enter paddock 50m S of road junction follow fence N for 150m then enter wood via metal gate. Gradually ascend track until it arrives at summit field just before a pheasant enclosure. New agri-industrial buildings to S of summit. I managed to walk within the 3m maize crop damaging only the interstitial weeds.jimbloomer18/08/2021
10:30am, 11 degrees (20 later), early mist clearing to give wall-to-wall sunshine. From south.Wycombe Wanderer30/05/2021
Return route used Carole E’s route.Adrian12/09/2019
No obvious approach from S now due to new house and farm - very exposed. Take gate into field from minor road at SE 6199 7606. Along wood to gate at approx. SE 619 762 onto overgrown track into wood, looks hopeful. Top in corn crop with much pheasant paraphernalia. On return to car, approached by game keeper - wanted to check i was OK and suggested I park in gateway for safety. Friendly but obviously about.carole engel25/08/2018
There is now a farm to avoid as well as pheasants on the way to the flattish summit.Dugswell203/12/2017
With Dugswell. Area around the spot height, N of new buildings, is covered by tall maize with a few alleys.Smudge03/12/2017
Parking by the remains of an old building to the south. Path opposite to the wood/field boundary. Not far (100m) until you are out of sight of the road. Unfortunately building work taking place at the summit with JCBs and contractors. Approached one who seemed totally bemused by my request for a photograph. Gave me permission though!moorsman13/05/2016
With Ali Beck and bluebells.vegibagger20/05/2015
From S, parked by derelict building near road junction. Into wood and immediately out again to follow field edge, or more discreetly remain in wood to summit area. This was a flat field of freshly turned earth. On arrival thought field at nearby hedge highest point, later decided it was about 150m further on and out into field.Aye Jimmy09/10/2014
