Sunny morning along the path from the S. E | Play2End | 20/06/2022 |
Precious greenbelt land with the urban sprawl of Birmingham pressed up tight against the very edge of its county/ua boundary to the N edge of the hill. However as elsewhere Green Belt boundary reviews are underway (here by Bromsgrove council) as its own town is full up to meet its National Planning Strategy for new houses and to help with yet more overspill housing needs for Birmingham -all justified under the exceptional needs rule of Green Belts -whose supposed written in stone rules that most assume are to safeguard their local area against urban sprawl and protect the green lungs around towns and cities. Having now squelched, slid and slithered around in the mud on this hill I can't help think uncharitably that the planners are welcome to it. | Chris Pearson | 13/12/2021 |
From SW. Not too much mud. Found burnt out car a short way past the high point of the path. Through the fence round the car and back up the field to the hill top | GordonAdshead | 03/11/2021 |
Quick walk up starting from Longbridge Lane after work just before dusk. | SootAndShale | 18/03/2021 |
Roadside verge parking, very muddy, just NE of entrance to the private hospital. Very muddy RoW leads off NE round the house, had to walk past hill summit before a gap in the hedgerow offered itself, farmer has tried to block it with a burned out car, but easy to get round it. On return walked up over Wast Hill on opp side of the road; fields are saturated so returned through the hospital grounds on a good track. | jonglew | 16/12/2020 |
Well, this was a short-lived Tump, arriving one month and gone the next, but at least this completes the county again. Parked on Wast Hills Road and visited both tops, both just a short detour from ROW. | milimana | 15/10/2020 |
Parked on road between and did both summits: High Hill then Wast Hill, the latter much the nicer hill. Already a U but one for the all-hills list | RHW | 21/05/2020 |
Re-done after change from Wast Hills. Wast Hills done on 16/4/20. | andrew brown | 15/05/2020 |
Parked on the lane to the SW, and up the lane to the N Worcestershire Way finger post. HP is over a metal fence in a field and appears to be some sort of vented tank covered in grass. | clivevilla | 24/04/2020 |
Wast Hill on the 05-05-2020:- From foot path to N. Over low metal fence into sheep pasture. High point a small grassed over covered reservoir. Surprisingly good views of quintessentially English countryside, tiny patches of white cumulus dotting the blue skies. Lunch in sunshine after the short cycle from home. | RichardM | blank |
This is a record of an ascent of Wast Hill Summit on 5/5/20 ( subsequently re located to High Hill and then that was demoted ) - in grass field with covered reservoir, near woodland. Surprisingly extensive and attractive rural views with puffy cumulus in blue skies. Canal cycle route from home. | Denise | blank |
