| Used Grestys Waste CP (free) to S which signs say closes at 5pm, but we arrived at nearly 7pm and it was still open. Sandstone Trail to summit. Interesting place, worth reading the prose on the large stone N of summit giving a history of the local area. Got as close as possible to summit which was covered in impenetrable bramble. Final hill of our epic record-breaking 11-tump day and it was a good one to end on with panoramic views and the sun setting. With Felix | RoguePulsar | 03/04/2024 |
| Parked on car park called Gresty's Waste, crossed the road into a path surrounded by forests kept going down the Sandstone Trail to the top where there was data transmitters and slightly away from the summit was some large stones which said place names on them, could see Liverpool! With Dad. 11/11. | speedyclimber | 03/04/2024 |
| First time visit to the trig point despite loads of walks up the hill. Glorious winter day, sunny views all round | Cumbriancyclist | 17/01/2024 |

| Made the most of a day at work in Delamere Forest and got this summit in. Nice walk, lovely views and time well spent :-) | Gerry the Ranger | 09/05/2021 |
| Despite fog, area busy. Part of excellent walk around Delamere Forest, parking on road at Barnsbridge Gate to N. Two aerial compounds, two reservoir compounds and a nice tourist summit with topograph and 7 county view. Ground generally disturbed. Various possible HPs, inc trig behind concrete reservoir and brambly bank by covered reservoir. | Denise | 29/11/2020 |
| Unsure whether the nettle and bramble covered hummocky bank was worth the effort as it's almost certainly man-made - long dumped material. I suppose it may be over the natural high point but the trig is a nicer and easily gained option. Incredibly busy for a damp and misty Sunday morning - classic symptoms of 'Lock-down bunker fever' | RichardM | 29/11/2020 |
| From car park at SJ 5406 6866, N. along the Sandstone Trail to waymarker post & start of the Alternative Route at 540692 - Turned right & along tracks & then concrete road to SE corner of covered reservoir - Over stile to the summit GR, an earth bank which is covered in bramble & lies behind 5ft mesh fencing. Trig point easily accessed from W. crossing fence to right of water tower. Visited impressive viewpoint to N. where standing stones indicate the 7 historic counties that can be viewed from here. (S). | gerrybowes | 24/11/2020 |
| Parked at Grestys Waste. Plenty of people out and on the summit. Just over one hour return with great views on a lovely November day. With GM. | bolton | 07/11/2020 |
| Visitedto within a few metres of Trig - heavy brambles. Highest ground seemed to be the man-made reservoir mound which was surrounded by lots of danger signs and a high fence which would likely be damaged climbing. Of course the reservoir is a man-made structure on top of hill so I was satisfied the highest part of the hill had been visited. | JK | 01/11/2020 |
| Erom CP on A54 to south. | mart0797 | 14/07/2020 |
| Walk with Andy and Harmony | GaynorSeymour | 06/06/2020 |
| Parking area at Gresty's Waste car park (free). Cross the road and follow the Sandstone Trail north. A good clear track leads off to the east immediately after the second west heading footpath. But, for some reason best known to the Almighty, the path heading directly up to the summit is then blocked by a heap of mud emblazoned with a DANGER DO NOT PASS THIS NOTICE sign. However, once over it, it is plain sailing to the top. | moorsman | 06/03/2020 |
| Cycled from South View E.C. via Summerhouse Bank. Up the footpath from the A54 to the S, passed a double headed boar. Visited various structures around the summit, some inside fences, etc. Good views. Easier going back down! | Minto | 24/10/2019 |
| Solo,Part of a run round Dalemere Forest. Thankfully the weather cleared up, torrential rain when I set off. Trig hidden behind 5ft high brambles. | Mountain Goat | 18/10/2019 |
| With Jo, from Visitor Centre on a cloudy morning. Distant views of higher hills were restricted by low clouds. Also visited nearby trig and completed day by walking round Blakemere Moss. | amblerbob | 15/10/2019 |
| 3/7 chumping with Nwormgage. This looked slightly problematic on the map, but wasn't at all, except for the rich choice in possible high points. Nice walk through the forest on the Sandstone Trail past the strange piggy directing you to Whitchurch or Frodsham. Nice spot up here. Had a look at all seemingly natural High Points. | tumpawumpa | 03/01/2019 |
| Beautiful area, could be persuaded to do much frolicking in Delamere area. With tumpywumba | nwormgage | 03/01/2019 |
| visited when visiting the trig | Nozzer | 28/12/2018 |
| From woodland car park on A54 (SJ 5405 6867). RoW leads N then veers off for the hill summit. Actual HP possibly a brambly mound within the outer mast compound, although that may be an old covered resr. 4 OS triggy things up there, including an easily accessible bolt on the old water tower. | jonglew | 23/11/2018 |
| After a morning at Beeston horse auctions walking up from A54 free car park SJ5403668679. Great walk thru woodland and up onto the summit with great views. Had Ann and Lucky for company. | John Eley | 08/08/2018 |
| From a54 cp. Trig completely in the nettles. | Moorponder | 18/06/2018 |
| From Gresty's Waste CP. Beware gate is closed.i was lucky. Got back at 620pm. Lady was waiting to close gate. | Longwojo | 23/03/2018 |
| From A54 car park to South on circular walk through Delamere Forest.New fences make this difficult but views are extensive.With Oscar. | catman | 02/02/2018 |

| From Visitor Centre | The Playful Pig | 19/08/2017 |
| Same as most, from south. Security fence is that uncomfortable kind.. theow an old coat over it and its not so bad. Climbed the concrete water tower. Trig pillar hides behind said tower. Fine views. | stig_nest | 23/07/2017 |
| Pleasant forest walk from south in heavy rain. Surprising viewing area just away from summit | Mark Sims | 11/07/2017 |
| 3rd hill of 6 today on a route from Tarporley to Helsby via Summerhouse Bank and High Billinge, then taking forest track to Tirley Hollow before using fp that skirts Nwestern edge of Primrose Wood eventually dropping onto the Sandstone Trail. Helped Father and Daughter get back onto the S Trail as they had overshot. Continued on Sandstone trail before taking signed alternative route that heads up to the viewfinder but I branched off sooner to head into field and then over fence via stile. I dropped down the bank and climbed over the gate to access the natural high ground (will be overgrown with brambles in summer) Climbed back over and then climbed over fence into reservoir (using broken wooden planks placed in the fencing. Good views. Same return route but then used back of reservoir fencing to enter field, over wooden fence to track and viewpoint. Continued on track and where it veers off to the NE I climbed over a wooden fence to drop onto a track that runs parallel with the S trail | Dazingdale | 04/03/2017 |
| Up from the A54 to south with Han & Beth. Used Sandstone trail to find trig point. Walked around the area, lots of new fences both metal and wooden to make it a bit tougher. Visited trig, high point and Pale Heights viewfinder area. Good stroll out before lunch :-) | nordicstar | 31/01/2017 |
| Parking: Car Park A54, SJ 54036 68679. New fences at summit. Viewfinder looks interesting, pity about the dense fog. | David Evans | 07/01/2017 |
| Lovely walk from Delamere taking in Eddisbury Hill, Pale Heights, The Yeld and a loop of Blakemere Moss. Easy access onto the reservoir, a makeshift gate saving any fence climbing. The viewfinder feature the north is quite impressive and worth a visit, I've not seen one like it before. | Jake994 | 09/08/2016 |
| After a feed at Blakesmere - Park at Kingsgate - Primrose Hill - Gwrestys Waste - Cross the A54 - Hanginingstone Hill (and Trig) at Pale Heights - Tea and cake at Delamere - Old lane back up to hill summit the back to the car along the Sandstone Way. | briandavies | 24/01/2016 |
| From large carpark just S of very busy A54. Large paths to summit area, but reaching official summit itself is quite difficult: an overgrown banking guarded by chain mesh fence. Got over this from reservoir side to W where elder tree has crushed fence, but involves fight through tree. Reservoir top and trig by round tower are easy to reach. Viewpoint a short way to NNE is worth a visit. | Aye Jimmy | 08/01/2016 |
| To reservoir top from c/p to south on A54. | ngthack | 16/12/2015 |
| Reservoir top is indeed accessible and trig point is now accessible as the fence is incomplete. However, the GR given, which I agree is the top, is very difficult. It can be managed by climbing the high gate into the water compound (the rest is surrounded by a chain link fence). The gates are held shut by a stout chain and padlock which make an ideal foothold to roll over the top of the gate (allegedly). | clivevilla | 02/12/2015 |
| Surprisingly good views and open access to the reservoir compound so one can walk on the grassy too. Why can't they all be like that. Trig beside the east side of water tower accessed by gap in the fence to the west of it and collected mushrooms on the reservoir top. With son Jamie who came on this longer walk despite stubbornly sitting out the much shorter walk to hump summit to south. | vegibagger | 21/09/2015 |
| Run from Helsby to Delamere and up Hangingstone hill to find a very well hidden trigpoint and back. | Chris920 | 24/08/2014 |
