Cycled with Dad. | AJScourfield | 04/09/2021 |
Parked opp Lockinge Kiln Farm and followed the track (I think it is a Bridleway) to where it meets the deer fence south of the farm. At the point where the deer fence starts the flank side is a rope boundary which can be stepped over. | DC11main | 11/07/2021 |
Parked on Ridgeway, just off B road. Easy tracks to summit. | PGCE | 25/05/2021 |
I took the fp which runs south of the farm at the summit. This was a mistake as there is a deer fence on that side. From the Ridgeway side there is a driveway. Nobody was around but it could have been tricky explaining what I was doing ferreting around the farm buildings. I saw a pair of deer and the a group of eight. | clivevilla | 12/05/2021 |
From the top of the B4001 at Sparsholt Firs- 5.3 miles seems a longway for a bag, but it was a new section of the Ridgeway for me, too. Glorious day- cold and cloudy to start but plenty of sunshine and very clear views later. Jogged back with some care, an exceptionally dry April had left the mud ad hard as concrete. | pwheeler | 16/04/2021 |
Lovely day with trimarc2 and r1 - weather was a bit bonkers: chucking it down one minute, sunny the next. Saw two roe deer. 22km total walking followed by all the cake at Saddleback Farm Cafe. | Fionalevey | 28/08/2020 |
With Fiona and Philippa from car park on Ridgeway. Very easy - then 12 mile walk along the Ridgeway helping Fiona reconnoitre route for forthcoming long distance run | trimarc2 | 28/08/2020 |
with Trimarc2 and Fiona as part of long walk along The Ridgeway. Uninspiring top but inspiring walk despite heavy showers | r1 | 28/08/2020 |

From roadside park at Ridgeway crossing to NE | GordonAdshead | 21/06/2019 |
Parked by bend in track to north from where it was an easy stroll to the barn. Lots of cars but didn't see anyone except for a chap who had come to collect a truck load of portaloos. | Herbert Anchovy | 20/05/2019 |
Parked on Ridgeway to NE, lane followed into farm buildings area to suggested HP. Top of approach lane outside farm seemed as high. | Aye Jimmy | 29/03/2019 |
A learning summit as the copse is home of Oak Leaf Forest School offering specialist outdoor learning sessions. Here children 
according to their website can ‘explore; climb; build dens; swing and experience the natural world all year round, whilst learning and developing as individuals and building a lifelong love for the outdoors. Children can develop in many ways, particularly physically; socially; linguistically and most importantly in their self-esteem’. Any baggers aged Toddler to 7 years would be welcome on Tuesday mornings, or else best to avoid that particular time. All quiet this sunny sunday morning. | Chris Pearson | 17/03/2019 |
1st of only 2 tumps on Stage 4 of the Ridgeway walk with Lesley on a route from East Challow to Goring. We got a lift back onto the Ridgeway from Iris, our Airbnb host. I approached this tump from the public fp to the South and the track, oth identifying the high ground next to a small Hawthorn tree. I also checked the spot height in the field but this was lower. Last hill was Warren Hill... | Dazingdale | 25/09/2018 |

Did the 239m spot height & then wandered into the farm yard via the tall conifer hedge. Daughter not to keen too wander about the farmyard so made a retreat. Agree with Ngthack - it was an eerie place! | DanMaisieBex | 23/10/2017 |
Along The Ridgeway to the Latin Down farm. Enquirer if I could obtain access to the hp in the farmyard. The lady occupant was very pleasant and cooperative and gave permission without a second thought. She was interested in the Hill Bagging website! | Campbell Singer | 03/10/2017 |
Walk along PROW from road to theSE with Sophia Howard while staying at Order of the Cross gathering held at Quaker retreat centre, Charney Manor in Charney Bassett. Didn't have access to farmyard from this se approach because of high fence on north side of bridleway. Doesn't sound like there was higher ground there but now curious to know about this 'odd' farmyard from ridgeway approach from ne. | vegibagger | 30/09/2017 |
Via PROW to south, the bank at the side of the path is as high as anywhere else. | Swindon Bagger | 10/08/2017 |
From Ridgeway cp. as others. Past rough & ready rugby pitch to barn. Strange, eerie farmyard. People obviously live there, but deserted. 
Oxon recomplete. | ngthack | 06/08/2017 |
Along Ridgeway from NE, up farm track past rugby posts, first to covered reservoir with mast, then to black water tank and barn. Between mast and water tank there was a small embankment next to a pile of wood shavings which may have been as high. Recompletion of county. | PeterD | 23/07/2017 |
From Ridgeway car park to NE. Along The Ridgeway initially then along farm access track, past a covered resr. Wandered through farm yard, no-one about on a Sunday afternoon. Agree with Adrian, the black water tank most likely the HP. Had a walk over to the 239m spot height, in an arable field of ripening and very tasty broadbeans. Couldn't tell if higher or not, GPS giving same elevation as the black water tank and the covered resr by the mast. | jonglew | 16/07/2017 |
From se as others, past deserted mini scout camp to outbuilding at highpoint. Oxon reconpleted on way home from Devon. | RHW | 16/07/2017 |
Good parking on The Ridgeway at the west side of the junction with the B4494. Easy walk along track to farmyard. | andrew brown | 12/07/2017 |
HP by barn (adjacent to black water tower) | Adrian | 04/07/2017 |
