Straightforward from SE.Wycombe Wanderer23/09/2021
Parked in car park near St Mary's church (I'd been ringing the bells). ROW SW, then up through wood: a few brambles and nettles, but no fences to cross. Summit in recently-sown field.PGCE16/09/2021
Parked in Barton and used bridleway. Ascent through the woods is steep but made easier by tracks of local mountain bikers. Summit field had crops in, so got as close as possible on the boundary, within a few metres of the spot height. SoloRoguePulsar31/05/2021
Ascended from the bridleway outside Barton - up through the wood and along the grassy headland to the top. The field was recently ploughed so avoided.JohnW13/09/2020
Parked on Green Street. Uninspiring.Bramley11/08/2020
Not much to it. Only real option is to park on Green Lane close to the roundabout, trek across the field and smell the fertiliser!Altheus13/06/2020
Cycled 4 hills today, bit of a big one, but back before lunch. Brands Hill summit can be reached by following the outside of the field, Breedon hill is beautiful and can be see from quite a way off, Pistern hill, nothing but a tick and the views over the trent valley from Gotham hill were lovely. Woulld have been nice to stop somewhere for lunch, but that's lockdownNicky C11/04/2020
Followed bridleway from Barton in Fabis. Steep, slippery climb up through woods. Followed field edge to very muddy ploughed summit. Solo.Dangerous Dave15/02/2020

Parked to the East on large grass verge near gateway to maize crop SK538 335.David Evans18/08/2019
Sunny walk across field.Dugswell223/02/2019
From the old road to east, across field that had been cut. HP near field boundary.PeterD02/09/2018
Bagged at third attempt. Barley harvested in last week.Ramblingpaul31/07/2018
Parked in Green Street. HP is the far side of a large arable field so better when cropless.clivevilla10/04/2018
From bridleway to NW up through woods to summit field planted with wheat(?) An easily negotiated Hawthorn hedge bounds top of wood. Great veins of gypsum in cliff bounding E side of path through Clifton Wood.RichardM19/03/2018
Parked at Clifton Hall to the NE then followed bridleway SE until the start of Brandshill Wood. Straightforward climb up through the wood, although I could imagine the brambles might be a problem in the summer. No fence at the top so easy access into the field.Wheelsy11/02/2018
From old A453 - Green Street. Goo dparking at SK 5383 3355. Followed field boundary, very muddy, but even muddier planted arable field. HP approx 20m into field from woodland boundary. With Carole Engel.jonglew28/12/2017

Harder than I expected up though wood and down again . Covered in rape seed blossom from field edge.Mark Sims22/04/2017

From old A453. No access from new road & nowhere to pull off either.ngthack10/03/2016
Could have taken Gordon Adshead's route which is shorter and easier but very muddy in January. Instead took the footpath from Barton in Fabis and climbed up through steep but straightforward woods. Could be overgrown in the summer.Campbell Singer15/01/2016
East Leake to Clifton.Smudge28/12/2015
No problem from 538 335 on old main road just SW of roundabout with the new dual carriageway. Round the field edges, which were very wide and included the high point.GordonAdshead16/07/2015
Major roadworks on A453 and fields with growing crops, so parked in Barton in Fabis. Back east along road for 150m then took bridleway to Clifton. Across field into wood, soon steep track on R leads to field above. Edge of wood followed to gently rounded top. Curious 3m diameter circular patch of forget-me-nots near summit (in May), doesn't seem natural somehow.Aye Jimmy20/05/2015
Third hill of Four today starting from East Leake; Court hill,Gotham hill and then a long walk down onto minor lane alongside A453 and was going to take Barton lane but this had disappeared from East side so walked on and took New road underneath the A453 leading onto Barton lane,veering off this to cut through wooded area and onto the open hillside. Followed steep woodland up to summit which is a grassy knoll near crops but a few metres back from steep wooded slope. Great views back to the power station.Dazingdale30/01/2015
