| Always satisfying when the top is the actual trig... | TK | 10/08/2023 |
| From parking by the Shropshire way. Up through the wood and right for the trig. Followed field edges onto Shipton Hill | Alan Caine | 30/07/2022 |
| Decent verge parking on bend to WNW of Pilgrim Cottages - Road & track to Y-junction, turned left & up track to just short of high point - S. through trees to top of wood; a fair bit of bramble & bracken, but not too bad - Track along edge of field to trig point. Continued to Shipton Hill. | gerrybowes | 28/05/2022 |
| First hill of good circuit from Wilderhope Manor (car park). | Tony S | 28/05/2022 |

| Same as Aye Jimmy to trig and on to Shipton hill along field edge track. | PeterD | 26/09/2020 |
| From Brockton, taking field boundaries to avoid large field of oil seed rape. Then on to Shipton Hill. Visited Hill fort on way up as the inner ring on the south side is possibly higher or separate Tump. | KC | 17/07/2020 |
| Parked on the bend before Pilgrim Cottage SO551937 for Fegg Hill and Shipton Hill. Followed good instructions from Aye Jimmy for Fegg Hill, then continued on SSW direction to Shipton Hill. | David Evans | 03/02/2020 |
| 5 of 7 raining heave so didn’t stick around long quick pat of the trig in the hedgerows | The-Z-Man | 17/11/2019 |
| From WNW parking at bend just before Pilgrim Cottage. Track past cottage down to fork, turn left then up the wood when the conifers start and undergrowth is minimal. Exit wood at top, field edge to trig in hedge. | Aye Jimmy | 05/06/2018 |
| From Wilderhope Manor. Very impressive and very old building. Fields exceptionally boggy and wet. Unusual breed of sheep with very piggy faces. | Campbell Singer | 25/01/2018 |
| Trig appears to be at the top of the gorse/ bramble hedgeline, easily accessed from planted field with wide margin from nearby RoW. flattish domed top. Good viewpoint but a little murky now. Easy to park at end of road/ start of track to NW. | Denise | 23/10/2017 |
| From the end of the minor road to N where there is good parking on grass verge. Nice wide grassy field margin along ridge. Good if hazy views, Clee Hill in cloud. Last of the day together with a wet and muddy Meg. | RichardM | 23/10/2017 |
| Last bag of a long day. From YHA where luckily I was staying. | Dusty | 12/03/2017 |
| Just managed to stop Adrian parking on a slurry pit then short amble to bag the summit before stretching the legs to bag Fegg Hill and trig. | Dugswell2 | 22/01/2017 |
| Nice ridge. With Douglas. Second visit 29/10/17 with Alex C. | Adrian | 22/01/2017 |
| An easy walk from Wilderhope Manor [Y.H.A] via Woodside Hill. Good views from the trig point over the Clee Hills. | sooztops | 24/08/2016 |
| Much as Vegibagger. A bit on the wet side today. Fort first which is heavily overgrown. Got a good soaking 10 mins from the car. | stig_nest | 16/06/2016 |
| With Mr Stig Nest. also visited the very likely to be promoted fort top. Caught in the same diwnpour as Stig. | Laura.W | 16/06/2016 |
| Parked at SO553944 making it a nice 3 mile walk. | heavyhorses | 08/06/2016 |
| Parked near Pilgrim Cottage. Trig is in the hege more visible from the far side but it seems the land on the near side is slightly higher. | clivevilla | 25/03/2015 |
| 2pm after 13.35 on the wooded 283m NE subsidiary, The Ditches Iron age fort, that isn't listed but has old semicircular ridge higher than marked summit and I reckon on survey it's probably a Tump | vegibagger | 16/04/2014 |
| Visited this hill from YHA Wilderhope - arrived there an hour early so slipped and slide up and down here to bag the trig (Mogg Forest), hill happens to be a TuMP also. Good path NE from the hostel, and up the hill, but return was a mud-fest due to rain and also a new reservoir created at confluence of 2 streams. | jonglew | 16/02/2014 |
| From Wilderhope Manor. Another visit on 16/05/2015 - also to hillfort earthwork with possible higher point at SO 56259 94194. | summitsup | 26/03/2013 |
| Up from Wilderhope. | arranc | 06/12/2011 |
| A standard lunchtime stroll for me, when I worked at Wilderhope manor - gorgeous views east towards the Clee Hills across Corvedale. | DanHolme | 20/10/2008 |
