| Summit appears to be verge on the wooded N side of the road by the inspection covers in the road | Vulcan | 22/10/2023 |
| Parked where the ROW leaves the road and wandered back along the verge. Essex completed. | Mark Jackson | 19/09/2022 |

| Stopped and wandered about. Like others I think the highest point seems to be the woodland edge near the water valve (which was noisy today !) | Moorponder | 18/08/2021 |

| Parked off road next to field entrance and FP on corner of Strowling Wood NE of 89m spot height. OK short term. Walked to current grid ref on hill-bagging (TL857132 (est)) but looked like had walked over high point which looks to be ground near water infrastructure just inside wood on NW side of road. | mntainman | 28/11/2019 |
| Field edge/road edge just along from gate. | CreakingHiker | 03/11/2019 |
| Thought HP was banking on woodland side of road rather than field, or maybe banking near Adrian's 'utility unit' ( a water tank?). | Aye Jimmy | 11/08/2019 |

| One for the enthusiasts - summit looks like it could be a random patch of road. Farmers field and the woods either side look the same or lower. | Buteobuteo | 09/01/2019 |

| Could be either side of the road. Probably just in woods. Essex completion phew. Onto Suffolk. | PeterD | 12/04/2018 |

| Raised edge of field. Long early morning drive down from Leicestershire but avoided most of the traffic. | Campbell Singer | 22/02/2018 |

| Visited high point on road verge; then round to Trig and view. With K,J and M. | The Captain | 01/10/2017 |
| Field edge in rain. | Dugswell2 | 05/03/2017 |

| HP seemed to be just into a stubble field on SE side of road. | jonglew | 31/07/2016 |
| Stopped and bagged this one on way home form lighting rehearsal at Kelvedon. Was able to match up the trees in the Photo in the archive and take another picture of very nearly the same spot but with more foliage. lovely sunny evening. | One man Bucket | 05/06/2016 |
| A short 'walk in the woods'- but not quite on the scale of Bill Bryson's book of the same title which Im currently reading.(Great line when Bryson tells his friend to be more positive when he complains that its pointless trying to hitch when no cars stop to give them a much needed lift. Friend replies 'Ok, Im positive no cars are going to stop') | Chris Pearson | 18/05/2016 |
| Easy bag - walked from bus stop. Highest point seems to be just inside wood which was full of bluebells | trimarc2 | 26/04/2016 |
| Summit is somewhere close to or beside the road, could be anywhere | Swindon Bagger | 31/01/2016 |
| There is a raised tumulus-type area in the woods, corresponding with the grid ref that's probably the sight of the beacon. Highest area seems to be nearer the road. An easy bag with Pete Doyle. | Dangerous Dave | 16/01/2016 |

| Parked near beacon hill trig, walked down the 'aptly' named mountains road to about 50m, then returned, and up a path beside woods to the summit, which was along the road, probably one of the gigantic verges I risked life and limb to surmount with the help of my trekking poles. 1st of a 4 tump day in Essex! | pdantic | 15/07/2015 |
| 30 seconds or your life wasted in bagging this one from the roadside | moorsman | 07/07/2015 |
| Easy 10-20m walk from road. | Brodie | 08/04/2015 |
| Spot Height 89 is probably the HP | GordonAdshead | 11/02/2015 |
| Kelvedon to Great Totham (South). | Smudge | 05/12/2014 |
| utiity unit in woodland by the road is high. Also did the field | Adrian | 01/03/2014 |
| Parked easily at the footpath to NE. Walked back down road and a convenient few steps into forest. Summit could be anywhere. | destaylor | 07/02/2014 |
| Chester | 26/03/2004 | |
| could be a slightly higher point a few m to N in field but by less than 1m. public road | RHW | 30/08/2003 |
