Parked on grass verge by barn to S. at SO 349871.Followed decent width field boundary but becoming overgrown with nettles and hogweed- some escapes to easier tractor lines in the crop going up to HP and trig pt. No crop plants (rape) were damaged in this walk! Worst hill of 10 Humps on holiday | pwheeler | 04/05/2023 |

From the barn,round three sides of the crop field. Also visited the trig. | NormanW | 25/05/2022 |
As part of a nice circular from BC. I came up from the public footpath rather than the road. | greboicus | 21/05/2022 |
Parked by barn to south, around field edges to top and to Trig. | PeterD | 09/04/2022 |
Parked on the grass verge near the barn, then clockwise round the field margin to the summit. | LizH | 16/08/2020 |
As others, parked on grass verge by barn to S. at SO 3490 8716 - Through gate & then clockwise along reasonably wide field boundary to unmarked summit in hedgerow. (S) | gerrybowes | 11/03/2020 |
From parking at the very obvious barn to south and round 3 sides of field as others. | Mark Sims | 08/02/2020 |
Parked by barn to south. Around the field boundary - field has recently been sown. | PGCE | 12/10/2019 |
Rain and mist. Via track to mast then through gap in trees just past Ken's touching memorial. No fence climbing or field crossing involved. | Wycombe Wanderer | 06/09/2018 |
From the barn, no crops growing so straight to trig and summit. | Jim.Fothergill | 21/08/2018 |
Standard route from barn. Young winter wheat crop, then the trig and small covered reservoir at summit. | Herbert Anchovy | 17/11/2017 |
From the barn. Field freshly and very neatly planted with wheat, so clockwise round field boundary taking in top and trig. | jenx | 15/10/2017 |
Parked in gateway to Barn in quarry. With Jenx and riund field as she says. Easy walk, limited views. | nordicstar | 15/10/2017 |
As with most others, the only suitable place for parking is the old quarry near the barn to the south. However, this is close to the field boundary and so enables a three sided round the field walk if crops are growing. 1km for the three sided walk, 20 minutes return. | moorsman | 18/05/2017 |
With K from old quarry by road. Field was laid to cereal crop so followed field boundary clockwise. | Ashley | 17/04/2017 |

Big fight to get to the top of this one around a seriously overgrown field boundary. | Alex C | 20/06/2014 |
Bishop's Castle to Clun: From ROW to N & plodding through snow drifts. | Smudge | 30/03/2013 |
Parked on verge near milestone, up mast access road, over a couple of fences-beware of barb wire, reasonable views from trig & top, v overgrwn due to time of year, dry & warm. | apricorum | 06/08/2012 |
Parked next to the ancient milestone near house and track up to mast. Theres a mamorial to a Wales goalkeeper near mast. Then across a couple of fields on ridge to trig and summit. | Father Ted | 19/02/2012 |
Technically the man made covered reservoir structure 50m to the east of the trig point is the highest but also collecting trigs so who cares. | Dugswell2 | 25/11/2011 |
Park at entrance to a small disused quarry. Stroll up over newly cut stubble to the column 5198. Lucky timing! 15.45. | arranc | 23/08/2011 |
P 350m W of quarry. Through quarry and along field edge to trig. | chrisbien | 19/07/2011 |
Lesley (and Rebecca) were doing the Bishops Castle Tandam Triathalon leaving me cheering them on with time to bag a few obscure hills. From barn, gate and around field edge. | Chris Pearson | 02/07/2011 |
Climbed to bag the trig, and didn't realise it was a Hump at the time. Ascended from the nearby road to the south. | Chingwakabungya | 31/05/2011 |
Don't think the farmer wants you on his land with all the barb wire and gates locked with rope/wire. My grid taken from top of concrete structure | DARRENG | 03/01/2011 |
Via the transmitter. | destaylor | 07/10/2010 |
Easy walk up lane to transmitter site. Local lane must have been busier in earlier times as it as a mile stone to London !

Technically the reservoir structure 50m to the east of the trig point is the highest. 
I think Clive visited the previously erroneously grid ref'd location. | summitsup | 28/12/2008 |
Does not even seem like a high point let alone a hill. Just a small ancient motte in the middle of a field. A waste of time except for the tick on the list. | clivevilla | 10/02/2008 |
Trig revisit: N edge of arable field, nice view | RHW | 04/12/2005 |
