| Fiendish flateau plateau! Whatever you do dont make this your last Norfolk tump! After visiting Knights Hill, Mount Hill, Egmere Hill, Piggs Grave and Poringland Heath I drove to Mill road, West of Flaxlands then up along the muddy track to drowned crops at the end to reach corner and supposed summit. I continued to the next field to reach the higher but man-made top surrounding a pond then across the large field back to the road by cover of darkness and driving rain. A long drive back to Nottingham ensued... | Dazingdale | 22/02/2020 |
| The South Pole of the Tump bagging world reached only by driving across endless miles of flatness to reach something that looks exactly the same as everywhere else. I half expected to find a wind tattered Norwegian flag awaiting my arrival. Unlike the real South Pole I suspect no one has, or ever will, walk 800 miles to get here, and then back again (with or without huskies). However I imagine the words ‘Is this it?’ are often uttered at both places. | Chris Pearson | 22/04/2019 |
| Parked at social club, up road into field, along edge to top. | Bramley | 11/04/2019 |
| Besthorpe to Attleborough. Even in downtown Norfolk busses turn up in pairs (one of them 30 minutes late). | Smudge | 08/03/2019 |
| Parked at Carleton Rode village hall, up Mill Road, and round field edge | Fisky Boy | 19/06/2018 |

| Staying with friends. A wet day and they were happy staying in house. I popped out for an afternoon and managed this solitary hill. | Dusty | 02/05/2018 |
| From TM 1021.9322 along field edge then left to copse. Took readings at various places but all much of a muchness. Best bet corner of next field just through copse beyond pond. | Aye Jimmy | 29/04/2018 |
| From Mill road, along field edge to corner. | PeterD | 12/04/2018 |
| Around field edge from Mill Road. | Campbell Singer | 16/03/2018 |
| Apparent high point in NE corner of arable field, though the difference seemed no more than some clay under my boots. About 5 minutes each way from a spot with space to park, or Carleton Rode social club isn't much further away. | Driftwood | 23/12/2017 |
| Harvested cereal field to west with maize near high point in east field with fodder beet in front. I visited both. | Dugswell2 | 02/09/2016 |
| Took the field boundary from Mill Road directly to what is probably the HP at corner of arable field, but not easy to determine its position precisely. | jonglew | 29/07/2016 |
| In corner of winter wheat field. | arranc | 01/05/2015 |
| Parked in Mill Road: Up field edge to NE corner: Two small deer ran out of copse. Farmer turned up on his quadbike and said that he thought the highest point was near Telegraph Farm at the site of the actual telegraph station. - I disagree. | GordonAdshead | 15/03/2015 |
