Parking good to N.jimbloomer24/01/2020
Good parking at TQ 6203 3178. Ground at NE end of covered reservoir, by the entrance gate, seems the natural high point.jonglew20/04/2018
Went to both trigs and walked around candidates for highest natural.clivevilla17/04/2018
2nd visit as passing. substantial concrete steps and metal handrail leading up to fenced reservoir. Gate climbed. The dud 2nd trig has no metal work or sighting holes-just a concrete look alike. Couldn't really work out whose view would have been blemished without the symmetry of a second trig being granted by the OS at time of building to keep them happy. What would have happened if the landowner had said they could only bear to look at things in groups of ten or a hundred ??Chris Pearson24/03/2016
Easy parking to n. Summit probably at side of reservoir. Had a wander around. 2 trigs on top of reservoir.destaylor03/04/2014

The 'why two trigs' mystery is resolved on trigpointing.uk as being due to the landowner when they were built wanting symmetry and so a dummy 2nd was added!Chris Pearson22/03/1999
