| Gorgeous day, lovely trig point! Parked off in the car park off Hartley lane, so it was a very easy walk along footpaths. Visited the trig point and the nearby topograph and Devil's Chimney while we were there. | AngiLala | 20/05/2023 |

| Circular walk with Ali & Em from quarry to south. Bizarre photoshoot going on in quarry, semi-clad bride halfway up the cliffs! Fantastic views and nice flowers on the escarpment edge all the way around, plus it's worth the short detour to Devil's Chimney and Dead Man's Quarry. As others have noted the paint job on the trig is a bit odd! | wheresthepath | 12/08/2019 |
| From carpark to south, seems a popular spot. Trig on top now highly painted and decorated! Topo and floor of quarry below also of sentimental value it seems... | Aye Jimmy | 17/06/2019 |
