| As gerrybowes. One of the better SE Devon Humps I climbed this day. Most are poor, boring, and/or no views. | Minto | 30/06/2022 |
| As others, from small parking area on junction at ST 0103 0154, headed W. on track & then NNW across open woodland to the unmarked summit. (S) | gerrybowes | 14/06/2021 |
| Fortunately the forestry works were suspended but they'd left behind massive piles of trimmings and plenty of mud. | Newton Maximus | 26/12/2020 |

| Short walk from tiny NT carpark at road junction, along muddy track, over low mud embankment, into open pines. Determined a HP by Abney level, but quite indistinct. Also visited nearby trig, hidden in hedge with geocache. | Denise | 23/10/2016 |

| Parked in NT car park on road, track to west. Summit in conifer plantation to north of track. | Poolton123 | 21/10/2015 |
| 2nd hill of three today on a circuit from Killerton park. From Sprydon beacon i took a bearing to get back onto the minor road running through Ashclyst forest, then took minor roads to get to White Down copse. A NT path runs through this wood but i took the right hand track that eventually meets another wide track and from there i headed North. The summit appears to be in the woods N of the track but a contender would be the banking for the field edge to the North. | Dazingdale | 07/09/2015 |
| As jonglew. Summit somewhere among the conifers to the north of the very muddy track. | Herbert Anchovy | 04/03/2015 |
