Parked by the compound just before the camp site gates along the private road. Over fence to Trig then over wall to HP in empty field. Got told off by a woman walking a dog. She came from the camp site (maybe owner) although it was out of season and closed. Said the farmer doesn't like people in his field & didn't i see the Private Road signs!fosal2924/11/2019

Parked at the end of the minor road by the camp site, asked the lady in the shop if its ok to go into the field, she rang the farmer who said take care there is a mad cow in the field and watch out for the electric fence. Well no mad cow or electric fence!!!, the highest point is the other side of the wall from the Trig Point, excellent view of Chesil BeachTony Hartry07/09/2017
Moonfleet - a favourite childhood book which I still half remember -a gripping tale of smuggling, treasure and shipwrecks.It was based at East Fleet which we walked through on a 1.5 hr circular coastal walk alongside Fleet Lagoon from Chickerell. A good day for smugglers as a thick sea fret even hid Chesil Beach.A great quote from the book referring to backgammon; 'As in life, so in a game of hazard,skill will make the most of the worst of throws'. I needed such skills to 'smuggle' my way to the summit (whist L waited at road end) as private signs to be passed, someone strimming too close by for me to be unnoticed for long, a growing rape seed crop on summit, a trig I could not quite reach over crumbly wall, and two horse riders who haughtily asked if 'they could help me' and 'was I lost' Answer: A cheery 'No thank you; and 'No I have a map thanks' Geograph has a alternative 68m spot height on open track through crop 200m N of trig- easily visited.Chris Pearson03/04/2017
