Pleasent walk from Mickley Moor via Hoyns Wood.RichardM17/03/2019
Parked at small tree area, walked back along road to enter field and height point as best could guess. Trusting survey as ground ENE towards buildings looked higher, but could be horizon effect. 3/3N.Morters06/03/2019

From water tower parking, visited the two spots either side of a hedge then the one about 500m away next to a building. Not obvious to me which was the highest of the three.mae10/08/2016
A revisit to correct my botched job last time. All likely spots visited, after parking by water towerColin Crawford09/08/2016
Parked at water tower to W, walked along road to convenient gate into field S of road. Summit GR given about 30m into field, long grass. Similar height in adjacent field, hedgerow between two seems highest. All higher than nearby roadside.Aye Jimmy05/08/2016
From access track at Moorgate Plantation to Gateshead Met District Top, then to the Hump/Tump which is in a field south of the road near a gap in the hedge that runs perpendicular to the road.afoster02/05/2016
After bagging the CoU/CoA Top, did the 'alternative summit' which is now the Hump (From high point on road, could see through hedge & it appeared that ground in field was higher). Parked by the water tower and walked back down the road to access the field & its summit mound close to the hedge. (S)gerrybowes06/01/2015
Walked along road to tower from East top. Failed to spot high point in field (unticked).malcorbett31/07/2013
Went across the road at time to other side as it looked a possible but didn't record thinking it lower than the water tower and original summit. Notes then: Parked at track end by road. Manure heap now small hill in own right. Field planted w wheat so carefully used tractor runs to gain apparent top in the crop. Great views into Tyne valley and Durham dales. Also to fomer water tower top.nordicstar02/08/2012
Visited this roadside verge between parking at the water tower and visiting the Unitary County top further east.Moorponder30/10/2009
