| Parked outside number 21 which is being done up with a skip in the drive. I think the neighbours thought we were skip rats (ha ha, if only they knew, we indeed sometimes are but not today) | nickywood1 | 11/02/2024 |
| No 23 still has workmen in. | Andrew Pearson | 24/01/2024 |
| Really? Drove to the end of Ridge Grove, got out whilst my other half turned the car around so I could walk around on the pavement to claim the highest point I could without trespassing. Felt too embarrassed to ask to drive round to check the Walker Grove high point. Definately the low point of a great day trip to the Heysham coast. | Jake994 | 05/01/2024 |
| Easy roadside parking on A589, either side of the junction with Ridge Grove - Up Ridge Grove to the driveway of No. 32 at end of the cul-de-sac - Back down to main road, up Hillsea Avenue & then right along Walker Grove to the driveway of No. 23. The two driveways are a similar distance from the high point at the rear of properties. | gerrybowes | 19/12/2023 |
| What an absurd hill. Parked nearby and walked the pavement in front of the houses. GFE unimpressed. | Fionalevey | 03/08/2023 |
| In situations like this, it seems tokenism to insist on an exact bag and I saw no need to bother the householders. The pavement outside was fine. | Colin Crawford | 28/07/2023 |
| Parked as near as possible. Didn't feel the need to go nearer than the pavement outside the houses. | justin_j_evans | 05/05/2023 |
| No one at home in 21 or 23. Had to accept standing alongside front door as a successful ascent. | moorsman | 21/04/2023 |
| Back again 2 days later after work, in sunshine this time to knock on a few doors. No 23 Walker Grove is NO LONGER a high point contender as the back hedge has just been cut down and the garden is being dug into by a small digger -very muddy mess at moment. Nobody at home or working during my visit but back garden easily accessible. Neighbour said an old lady from 23 had gone into a home and house had just been sold - hence digger works. Back garden of No 21 is now the clear highpoint being a 2 foot step up higher than what is left of No 23's garden at the rear fence. Very friendly owner of No 21 kindly accompanied me across his manicured lawn to his raised patio at rear of his garden from where you can look down over rear fence and along and down the ridge line. He said he had wondered if they were Heysham's high point and asked if he won a prize! I suggested he could raise a flag there to proudly celebrate the fact. He seemed to like the idea! I was his 1st top hunting visitor. | Chris Pearson | 21/10/2022 |
| Upgraded an after work visit to include a Heysham Highlights trip. 1.A 2-mile sea wall trek out and back to South Pier Lighthouse -looking through the triple fence, at the giant ageing nuclear power station - only a few years left for both reactors. Hope the thick concrete is still doing its job, although their nitrogen tank looked particularly rusty, and they are digging a big hole for something? 2. Heysham Nature Reserve - A sign worryingly asks that if the pond water is used for fighting fires to let the nuclear power station control room know. Presumably so they don't then rely on it to cool the reactor in an emergency - so don't forget to tell them! 3.Near Naze Lighthouse (ruin) alongside the super-busy lorry freight terminal for the ferry to Ireland. (Presumably with all their controversial Brexit trade documents uploaded for movement both to Dublin AND Belfast to prevent a customs border in Ireland) 4. Half Moon Bay and NT Chapel Hill 39m high, @p18, nice coastal patch | Chris Pearson | 19/10/2022 |
| 2nd tump on a 15km traverse from Overton to Morecambe. Asked permission to visit Hp at back garden of 23 Walker Grove and owner said certainly. Owner was proud to be on the highest point of Heysham. | Dazingdale | 01/10/2022 |
| 3 of 11 on 40 mile bike ride. Stopped outside number 23 as others suggested | The-Z-Man | 28/07/2021 |
| Got as close as I could. 23 Walker Grove. | James McKnight | 21/06/2020 |
| very unsatisfactory. visited 23 Walker grove and 32 Ridge grove. Noone at home in either but HP apparently in garden between two, so got as close as practical. | Denise | 23/11/2019 |
| back garden of number 23 accessed with permission of owner | colinfielding | 05/11/2019 |
| End of Seymour Grove good enough for me on a damp & dark November evening after watching Orient at Morecambe. | agentmancuso | 02/11/2019 |
| Permission given to visit back garden where high point is small area of grass on ridgeline beside boundary fence. (I wasn't the first to ask) Good views. | RichardM | 23/08/2019 |
| Knocked and asked, chanced it a bit as it was dark and after 5pm but after explaining my mission owners happy for me to wander round their back garden by torch light. HP up by the rear fencing. | jonglew | 26/11/2018 |
| Ventured a few feet up the drive of No. 23 but no further. | Campbell Singer | 03/11/2018 |
| The summit appeared to me to be in the garden of number 23 Walker Grove. The front door was open so I went in and upstairs to the master bedroom, where I looked out of the window to try and determine the highest point. To cover all possibilities I stood on the bed as it was as high as I could reasonably get and then a woman came in and started screaming. Then a man came in and took a most unnecessarily confrontational tone with me so I gave them a piece of my mind and descended by the same route. If that's how they treat walkers round these parts, I for one will certainly not be revisiting this hill. | Wycombe Wanderer | 12/08/2018 |
| End of road with new houses just makes it into the area within the highest contour. High point probably in a back garden. | ijpowell | 23/03/2018 |
| Revisit to view the new houses in Seymour Grove built in 2015. Number 29 is currently for sale for £530,000. | Dugswell2 | 24/02/2018 |
| Lancaster-Colloway Hill-Overton Trig-Heysham Ferry Terminal-Higher Heysham-Morecambe. With Bert and Reg. HP looks to be in garden of one of the houses on Walker Grove, but the highest point without setting on foot on someone's garden or driveway seemed to be in the new houses at the top of Seymour Grove. Walking up those two streets and Ridge Grove was sufficient for me. | campagvelocet | 21/11/2017 |
| Got as near to top as possible without trespassing.Good view of Ingleborough from street.With Bridget,Lily,Oscar and Bonnie. | catman | 17/09/2017 |

| on our way for a coastal wander | bardolph | 09/04/2017 |
| On way to a meeting in Morecambe | Bramley | 13/03/2017 |
| Had planned to do something more adventurous but Storm Doris persuaded me to change my plan. Yes, the top appears to be in a garden. I also did most of the height by bus from Lancaster | trimarc2 | 23/02/2017 |
| Another pointless bag!! Far from ideal arriving here at 10.30 at night and pacing up and down the road but not being able to see the house number 3 and 7 do assume23 must be one of the bungalows ....at least I'm very early for my ferry | vegibagger | 21/07/2016 |
| As people have mentioned, the actual summit is in someone's garden/driveway but I had a lovely walk around the area. | JasmineS | 18/06/2016 |
| Caught bus most of way 'up', and walked around the houses, figuratively and literally. Not such a pointless Tump when combined with a visit to the Saxon church on the headland. | DanHolme | 30/10/2015 |
| Back garden of No 23. Several metres higher than old resr/new houses and c.4m higher than Walker Grove carriageway highpoint. | RHW | 18/04/2015 |
| Whole area between Seymour Grove and Walker Grove under construction of houses and completely closed on Christmas Eve! Just had a walk around. | Aye Jimmy | 24/12/2014 |
| Building site | GordonAdshead | 19/11/2014 |
| OS spot height is in back garden of 33 Walker Grove - but this probably lower than 23's - however could be the natural summit prior to lots of concreting of gardens. | jimbloomer | 24/10/2014 |
| Top is a reservoir which I had a look at with martin Richardson from Seymour Grove and Fell View. fellsidehomes.co.uk are due to build seven four bedroom homes here so may come back to view from an upstairs window of the show home. | Dugswell2 | 08/12/2013 |
| Who cares? | Martin R | 08/12/2013 |
| Top is a reservoir and/or someone's garden!! Typical uninspiring Tump :>( | citygent | 27/06/2013 |
| Housing estate - good wander round including going up someone's drive! | Alan Caine | 08/05/2011 |
