A lovely sunny Sunday afternoon. Walked up from the car park on The Ridge/Woldingham viewpoint. Saw some partridges on the summit. | sconnolly01 | 26/06/2022 |
From Woldingham Station as part of a 9 mile circular evening walk with bluebells everywhere. The summit up by the water tower isn't that impressive, but it can be part of a really lovely walk with a bit of planning. We included the North Downs way and the Vanguard Way. Visited the trig as well as the true summit. | Lazylizzie | 10/05/2022 |

Managed to get into the electricity compound and had a good chat about Marilyns with the chap who let me in. My gps reading took me to the back of the compound near a mast. Artificial ground by the water tower is higher. The adjacent field is just as high and more natural but walkers are not obviously welcome to enter looking at the numerous Private signs about. Solo. | Dangerous Dave | 06/01/2022 |

From free parking area west of Flint House. Track through woods parallel to minor road. North up bridleway to track to mast. Over gate on right and along edge of compound to southeast corner. Close as possible to get to summit. | KeithByTheC | 11/09/2021 |
From car park at 385546, along road, then left to Vanguard way north, then right to compound. Got as close as I could to summit. | JulieB | 05/09/2021 |
Just over a mile there and back from the viewpoint CP although there’s nothing to stop you driving up to the compound. | Newton Maximus | 31/08/2021 |
From Woldingham Station, approaching summit from north. Summit apparently behind railings. Returned by taking Vanguard Way south. | peter4lc | 03/07/2021 |

Drove right up to water tower (plenty of space for parking). Then hopped over gate and walked a couple of hundred metres alongside field edge and compound boundary to the highest point. Nice & easy :-) | Gerry the Ranger | 04/08/2020 |

One of my last English Marilyns and very unimpressive. Walked around the water tower and comms compound- land generally disturbed. Nice benchmark in Flint House at road junction. Alone. | Denise | 06/11/2019 |
A short walk from the parking area above the quarry. Another SE Marilyn ticked off! | silveracorn_alan | 26/10/2019 |
