17776	04/03/2017	ST 66269 96135	F: No feature: GPS read highest in the field to the north of the wood however very flat and the wood is very overgrown so very difficult to be certain.	andrew brown	Subpoint	2	GJ
28268	30/06/2019	ST 66188 96091	F: Ground on W side of track, just through wooden gate from where main track turns right. Logging activity has been going on recently. O: Field by bend at top of main track and banking nearby also contenders. Took reading at ST 66001 95977 on E side of track further S, seemed lower.	Aye Jimmy	Summit		CC
28291	30/06/2019	ST 66001 95977	F: Ground on E side of track. O: This position is possibly lower	Aye Jimmy	Subpoint	3	GJ
28360	07/07/2019	ST 65948 95905	F: deciduous woodland O: DTM summit in 2017 LIDAR; ground 150-200m NE in subsequently felled area is about as high (0.6m lower in 2019 survey after felling) S: LIDAR 2017	Galltywenallt	Subpoint	1	CC
28361	07/07/2019	ST 66248 96147	F: in field O: Highest point in region of subpoints 1-3; 0.4m lower than summit S: LIDAR	Galltywenallt	Subpoint	2	CC
33763	14/11/2020	ST 66189 96088	F: edge of wood 5m W of track O: DTM summit in 2019 survey. Other points only slightly lower; area around ST 6624 9614 is perhaps the best alternative. 2019 v 2017 comparisons indicate large errors in trees. S: LIDAR 2019	Galltywenallt	Summit		CC

Parking at the junction at the end of the road at ST 66656 95900. Just be careful as there is a ditch running along the hedge boundary.	DC11main	24/06/2023
As per logs of Rob and Fergal - highest point is surely at edge of field around 6624 9614.	Matt	13/05/2023
Parked to the ENE on grass verge opposite cottage. ST667961.	David Evans	21/01/2023
Track up from Hystfield to where it turns sharp R. Then turned left, through gate: summit grid reference corresponds to a brambley mound about 20m west of gate.	PGCE	05/01/2021
up from Bevington. fields and paths waterlogged. Strolled through some logging tracks inn Forrest and reached a satisfactory high point close to main gravel track	cjo	27/12/2019
Track up from Hystfield to where it turns sharp R. Thought this area either in field, on banking or just through gate where logging has been going on was higher than the track further S. Continued to trig at Hall Court, some distance away.	Aye Jimmy	30/06/2019
From Hystfield via the bridle way. I thought jonglew's spot on the track was pretty close to the summit.	Chris Peart	07/12/2018
1/1 (Upper Hill) I go with pasture being higher summit	Fergalh	26/10/2017
Ran uphill from Hill in a gap between rain showers, swiftly out to trig then slowed to a crawling pace once off paths into the wooded tangle of watery ditches and snagging brambles with no definite summit. Far too reminiscent of some of my more disheartening orienteering moments. Not a summit to go on my Christmas card list.	Chris Pearson	06/02/2017
Road was closed at Pedington Elm for water repairs so I parked there and walked a little further. Walked a triangle of minor paths at and around 660960 to cover all eventualities.	clivevilla	23/11/2016
In a hurry... got a ticket for FGR this afternoon!	vegibagger	22/10/2016
From Hystfield and up lane into wood. Turn south, then west and then into mass of brambles for indeterminate summit.	Campbell Singer	17/04/2016
Woodland	Adrian	16/01/2016
From e. 58m spot trackside. 57m spot also trackside but pasture nearby could be 1m higher hence a 58m hp contender	RHW	25/12/2015
From Manchester: Fiest of 5 to complete S Gloucs. Parked at T junction to the E: Almost impossible to know what is higher than what in the overgrown forest: Happy to settle for the hp in the middle EW track.	GordonAdshead	08/09/2015
As for jonglew	arranc	24/08/2015
Last of the 6 South Glos tumps, all in afternoon. Not the most inspiring. Up bridle way possible HP just of track in woods.	PeterD	16/05/2015
Approached from the east and managed a short circular walk. There is a potential high point in an area of pasture between the wood and the southern tip of Whitcliff Deer Park. Wandered along the track in the wood as well but couldn't identify a definitive summit.	Herbert Anchovy	14/01/2015
Summit somewhere in Cat Grove Wood. Approached from Hystfield Farm on way to Hill Court Estate trig pillar. Area is deciduous managed woodland, but plenty of rough undergrowth prevented searching off track for a better summit than that presented on track at ST 65998 95976. ***NB. Relocated summit covered en-route from Hystfield Farm.	jonglew	13/07/2014
