| West Mendip Way Day 1 | Rob Rees | 02/01/2024 |
| From car park to NW, as others. | tim747 | 09/07/2023 |
| Short walk returning home from N.Devon holiday. From viewpoint CP. Nice path through wood then out into fields on bridal way before pasture field edge emerging to track just north of summit and trig. Fine sunny day. Made hasty retreat to RoW. | N.Morters | 01/07/2023 |

| From car park to NW, as others. Felt rather exposed walking along the track on the crest of the ridge. | Mark Jackson | 20/12/2022 |

| From NW. Passed farmer in a tractor scraping the track with his front shovel, making more of a mess than doing any good. | Minto | 29/06/2022 |
| From the viewpoint car park to the NW. Uneventful. | NormanW | 27/06/2022 |
| Here for the trigpoint. TP:UK log: From Loxton on West Mendip Way/Butcombe Trail, then into field (private land), followed boundary and then through an open gate onto another track that lead to the trigpoint, at this point I met the farmer out and about in his digger. He was happy for me to visit the trigpoint but wanted to make sure I went back the same way I came and didn't go past the trigpoint into his farm. | thejackrustles | 25/04/2022 |

| Negotiated the drive from Worlebury Hill Road to the car pk on Roman Rd by pt 143m. Then standard way- RoWs to permissive access into the first field, then private land. Met a local couple who remembered a period when it was permissive access to the summit- they were in fields the opposite side of the wall. Good views and pleasant though, just a quick retreat from HP as the farm comes into view there. Fine and clear. | pwheeler | 15/10/2020 |
| From view point P. Private notice on track, permissive path status no longer no longer applying - but nobody about. | summitsup | 29/09/2020 |

| Parked by Post Box in Loxton. Took West Mendip Way until level with summit. Across 2 fields to Trig on Field Boundary then walked back crossing OS spot in the field. | fosal29 | 17/10/2019 |

| From minor road N of Shiplate: limited parking at end of public road. | PGCE | 30/03/2018 |

| From the litter strewn viewpoint. The big field had a sign saying beware of the bull but, as the gate was open, I figured he probably wasn't there. | clivevilla | 19/05/2017 |
| Parked at viewpoint and followed nearby bridleway to pick up West Mendip way and then across field to trig. | Ramblingpaul | 20/02/2017 |
| From view point car park on Roman Road . Followed muddy farm track direct to trig off bridle way to north. | Mark Sims | 06/12/2016 |
| Lovely sunset from here with great views over Bristol Channel, on drive home from Plymouth. Trig on mound at fence line but indistinct highpoint in field. Farmer approached but seemed reassured that we were trigging not shooting. Approached along bridle way from Loxton village. | Denise | 10/10/2016 |
| Nice Bridleway from Loxton with ancient feel about it then along field boundaries to summit. Superb views over Bristol Channel in the last of the day light, lights of S Wales coast twinkling in the distance. While Abneying the summit a farmer spotted our lights and came to investigate, apparently thinking we might be out shooting. He was quite happy -or possibly relieved - when he found we were only visiting the summit. | RichardM | 10/10/2016 |

| From Car park on Bleadon Hill to NW. Trig other side of BW fence, but higher ground to west of fence. Although middle of field maybe slightly higher. Great view across the Bristol Channel. | PeterD | 05/05/2016 |
