Parked between Tillington and Upperton before heading out to Upperton Commnon, Hurston Creek hill and Red hill. A pleasant afternoon including an explore of Pheasant Copse | Buck | 23/10/2021 |
Petworth Hike | PhilipChaston | 02/04/2021 |
Petworth circular. | Smudge | 11/01/2019 |
Autopilot 12 k walk to Petworth and back with L and the dogs over this top one again and through Petworth Park where the dogs could charge around with all the other dogs . A long walk to unsuccessfully try to buy a roller bead connector from possibly the most expensive hardware shop in the world in Petworth ( the home of antique shops) . Back at base Amazon solved it for £1.61 plus free postage. Could have saved a lot of effort but not so much fun for the dogs. | Chris Pearson | 29/12/2018 |
Dog walk with the whippets, Percy (old), & Ned (pup). Suspicious looks from gamekeepers who probably dont see many dog walkers / strangers around here. Also revisited the newly confirmed ( as of yesterday) higher summit of Red Hill, avoiding the brambles this time by a longer route from N passing behind the industrial estate. | Chris Pearson | 28/12/2018 |
Snagged a way through the brambles and trees ( acccess land) from main road to visit the possibly higher 91 m spot height summit to east of main road. open lawn - part shielded from adjacent Redhill Farm by beech hedge with tennis court beyond. Open hedgeline gives access from woodland. Then revisited usual summit and back to Balls Cross on fpaths.1 hr walk | Chris Pearson | 27/12/2018 |
A short walk with L and the dogs which became extended into a 3 hour circuit down to Petworth Park. Brambles and our dogs prevented an investigation of top to NE across main road which Lidar claims is higher. To return. Caught up in the Boxing Day hunt 
whose riders were super polite to us as they passed us on a row ( probably fearing hunt sabetours - later read of skirmishes at the kennels at Petworth House). Hazardous last mile road walk due to all the hunt followers in cars leapfrogging along - we couldn’t have chosen a worst day for walking along a normally quiet country lane. | Chris Pearson | 26/12/2018 |
Revisit on an hour’s dog walk in wellies with L, and Percy and Ned the whippets, across fields from Balls Cross. An equal 91m spot height lies 750m to Ne across the main A283. Have asked editors if Lidar exists to determine correct summit location. | Chris Pearson | 24/12/2018 |
With: solo; Parked in layby 50m N of access track on A283. Must have driven past here without knowing, hundreds of times as our standard route north! Easy approach up track from lodge to high point by copse of trees. | Ian Baines | 14/08/2018 |
First on a wet Easter Friday, on way to my brother, Pete bagging Bedham Hill. There's a layby on the A283 100 m N of the private road that leads to the summit. HP be a good viewpoint on a nice day | pwheeler | 30/03/2018 |
Cattle grid on access road for Stagpark Farm. Parked in layby on A283 a little N of the entrance. Also bagged the trig pillar 200m NW of the HP, but missed the benchmark on the Hoads Common lodge! | jonglew | 19/01/2016 |
Detoured from foot path to west, met several farmers / farm workers in vehicles without issue. High point is cattle grid on farm road. Arable farm land. Good views north of Black Down from a little further W along road. | RichardM | 12/08/2015 |
Drove up | GordonAdshead | 15/06/2015 |
narrow tarmac road over summit at cattlegrid. I had driven the nearby A283 for many years before discovering Tumps late in 2014 and realising that I had been driving past 'summits' such as this.Bonus trig pillar not far away along field edge. | Chris Pearson | 08/03/2015 |
