Roadside parking in Farnborough, narrow FP between houses leads into a sheep pasture | jonglew | 23/12/2019 |
Really enjoyable little walk. Parked in village by what looked like a disused hall. Walked north and turned left onto an unmarked path between houses. Wandered up through fields until I saw trig point off to the right. Again, lambing season - so lots of very sweet, very freshly born lambs. | sjb | 13/04/2019 |
Interesting little top in trees with trig and grave. Easy on ROW from between houses in village opposite phone box. | Mark Sims | 27/02/2019 |

Sunmit knoll crowned with a few trees, flat gravestone to farmer abd wreath with bauble dangling from branch. Onwards to Oat Hill... | Dazingdale | 23/02/2019 |

FP between cottages to trig and HP. . | PeterD | 19/05/2017 |
1st of a Ten Tumps before Ten (pm)evening target after day on first aid course. A confident bluff needed to stride through the sturdy beef cattle in the summit field each of which after a brief face off lowered its head and horns and .. backed off, even the ragged one with a missing horn which looked more like a pantomime cow. With inconvenient timing as I was mid-undress changing into running kit 
at the car a mobile butcher van pulled up behind me (6.30 
pm on a Sat eve)bringing out what passes for a crowd in this 
 
sleepy village of honey coloured houses. (Perhaps 
 
 the van was selling previous occupants of the summit field?) | Chris Pearson | 13/05/2017 |
Found the fp between cottages opposite the phone box in Farnborough. Pleasant walk up across pastures. 20 minutes up and down. | Campbell Singer | 12/02/2017 |
Fenny Compton to Gaydon. Out & back from NW in misty conditions. | Smudge | 07/01/2017 |
From the village which seems to be mostly inhabited by yuppies with Porsches. Didn't find the fp and ended up climbing somebody's garden fence. | clivevilla | 29/12/2016 |
New fence round trig | GordonAdshead | 10/07/2016 |
Walked up to summit with Sonja on a sunny mild afternoon. The footpath starts in Farnborough village between houses nearly opposite 'The Inn' pub. It then crosses open pasture. The trig is beside a fence dissecting the circular mound and ditch at the summit. | Skip | 31/10/2015 |
