A day of visiting beacons and beacon hills (only some of which qualify here as a hill or tump). Nice bit of mature woodland. Someone had been having a drinking party - litter, mostly Stella cans over the wall near the summit. Tidied up and recycled.M3WDD28/07/2021

A quick drive-by to bag yet another Beacon Hill. Parked in a gateway just over the road's summit then struggled through brambles in the woodland to find the natural high point. Pleasant weather. Sonja stayed in the car.Skip04/06/2019
