parked at car park to the south and walked up...think highpoint is to the east of the N/S path. Didn't find the green trig, but wandered around for ages to get highest reading on altimeter. Then continued a 10 mile hike taking in Woolsbarrow also.stagger onward03/01/2022
From roadside parking to NW, through the maze of tracks and paths.rhalstead19/04/2021
Small parking area to NW. Visited RichardM's suggested highpoints and the green trig.PGCE02/12/2020
From the car park to the South. Good paths up through the woodland to HP then trig.fosal2902/02/2020
Lovely heathland - circular walk form car park to south off B3075Mark Sims28/03/2019
Part of the 14 square mile Wareham Forest mix of open sandy heathland, forest and bog, including the adjacent Moden Bog National Nature Reserve - a good spot for dragonflies in the summer. Wished I was wearing a helmet like the passing mountain bikers to protect against the unusual danger from falling giant pine cones in the strong winds, which were causing problems across the UK today. (the wind that is- not pine cones). The trig is adopted by The Martin family with a nice note about the late Peter Martin who loved climbing up here to Uncle Trig and believed that all hills however small are there to be climbed. I also visited the higher ring contour to examine a few hundred more trees .Chris Pearson10/03/2019
Up from west on track and path to the olive green painted trig then SE to the 4 metres higher TuMP summitvegibagger13/04/2017
Circular walk from Wareham having sailed from Lymington the previous day. Access not a problem, deciding on the location on summit is. My best estimate for the two possibilities which are both low earthy mounds in young pine forest are:- ridge to W of N/S track SY 92212,91932 Alt. 45m (Acc. 5m) and E end of ridge with trig point SY 92453,92153 Alt.39m (Acc 7m). GPS sulking today refusing to provide its usual 3m accuracy. Lovely area of heathland and forest.RichardM05/03/2016
From WNW. A few m west of main track. Also visited smaller contour to NE although fairly level and likely to be lower. My penultimate Dorset tumpRHW27/02/2016
Woodland summit area, difficult to determine where the top is, had a waklk about but couldn't come to any definitive conclusion. Also couldn't get more than 45m elevation out of my GPS that normally reads high.jonglew01/11/2015

Wareham circular. Investigated both 45m contour rings without any HP location being formed.Smudge11/01/2015
From large car park 1/2 mile or so south (?? Clump). Very tree covered apart from just round the trig, heaven knows where the top is!!citygent12/06/2014
