Walk w/Devon. Parked Titsey Place upper car park. Tatsfield, Woldingham, Botley Hill Summit, Botley Hill Trig loop.ZacField01/01/2024
Detour with ATE and GFE while cheering on NDW50. Trig just over field boundary and slightly wonky - perhaps knocked slightly by farm machinery in past.Fionalevey20/05/2023

Walked up the road from the free car park to the east: fence is easy to cross near the trig. Visited trig and summit.PGCE21/12/2022
From Woldingham Station as part of a 9 mile circular evening walk with bluebells everywhere. The summit up by the water tower isn't that impressive, but it can be part of a really lovely walk with a bit of planning. We included the North Downs way and the Vanguard Way. Visited the trig as well as the true summit.Lazylizzie10/05/2022
Walked up the road from the free car park to the east. The photograph shows the hp to be on the roadside. The actual hp and the trig point are both in the field over a barbed wire fence. Not really worth trespassing to bag a deleted summit. Solo.Dangerous Dave06/01/2022

Small detour from NDWlerritt27/07/2019
NDW walk from Dunton Green to Botley Farm. This one at the end of my NDW stretch. Walked along the road from the roundabout. High point assumed to be on the road and accords with grid reference. Seemed rude not to hunt out the trig point a little further along though it's the wrong side of the fence in farmer's field.jedthehumanoid05/07/2019
Here for the trigpoint. TP:UK log: Didn’t like the look of the muddy lay-by so parked down the road at N51° 16.883' E0° 00.239', then walked back up the road and realised the trig wasn’t near then fence but required climbing it for a hug. Didn’t like the look of this as in full view of houses and farm and field full of sheep and lambs. Tried both houses but no reply to doorbell but then a car appeared and it was the owner of one of the houses who gave me permission to enter the field and showed me the best spot to cross the fence.thejackrustles19/04/2018
From Botley Hill by footpath along the escarpment S. of The Ridge, then back along The Ridge. Did not see the triangulation pillar, possibly hidden by bracken.Raymond Butler07/07/2017

Drove along this to get to the top of Botley Hill. You can vaguely see the top, but not much on the views.Dragonzilla22/11/2015
Drove over this one on the way back from Botley Hill summit, no views.fnem08/09/2015
With SteveGinaSmith06/01/2015
Part of Betsom Hill, Kent Historic County Top walk with Gina. Really wet day so rather than planned 11 mile circular walk ended up driving round and doing short walk to bag days tops. Drove past trig point hidden on other side of overgrown fence on north side of road. Walked back to find trig and claimed even though 2m away. Did not climb over barb wire just to say I had touched it.mntainman06/01/2015
Hoped for a drive-by but had to stop and get out to look for it!tim74710/11/2014

Between Botley boundary and Botley hill. Stopped by road to bag trig. Nice bluebells and felled beeches.nordicstar21/05/2013

Layby near road junction and hop over fence to trig in field behind hedge. Snow on the ground.Aye Jimmy12/12/2010
Amateur radio activity (SOTA G/SE-005) from the trig... Parked off the roundabout. Trickiest part of the ascent was climbing over the barbed wire!andrewbanks09/06/2010
The trig point provided a good reason to stop here.Father Ted15/08/2009
Drove over it before getting to the actual summit.Messiaen15/08/2009
Go down the road called 'The Ridge' heading towards Woldingham. I think the woods on the left hand side of the road are fractionally higher than the site of the trig point.Richard03/05/2008
Walked to trig point, which was then a Marilyn.JohnW24/03/2008

Land at 3962155399 is higher than trig and accessible thanks to somebody who's cut the barbed wire fence. Innaccessible mound near water tower at 3871555206 could be higher still. This was my last of the 4 'tops' to bag near here.signyred27/01/2008
Parked in the Titsey Foundation Walk car park, close to roundabout. Then short walk up road to locate trig point close to hedge in field. Barbed wire fence with weak fence poles. Good pub close by.Dugswell228/08/2007
Trig in field with sheep. Lots of blue bells in woods opposite. Otherwise not much there. Junction of Vanguard and North Down Way.bigdady06/05/2007
Trig now easy. Parked in car park nearby had lunch in the country pub 200m away - walked down the hill to Titsley Place then back up again. First hill have started at the top walked down and then up again.destaylor05/04/2007
Not especially enthralling. Trig not easy to find.G4OIG04/11/2006
From Oxted station following the Greensand Way to the edge of Titsey Plantation & then along its edge & up the steep track to the road junction. Visited the trig on this occasion but been back on several occasions to visit the revised summit location. Walk is better than the hill.NotReallyABagger09/09/2006

With: hb sb ab; We parked in the car park close to the trigpoint (Old summit ). I checked coordinates on that then we walked round to the aerials for the new summit.Ian Baines24/07/2005

Trig point hidden behind hedge inside field, quite hard to spot. Former county top of Greater London is about a mile away, so you can combine the two into one walk.wheresthepath22/10/2004
