Walk w/Devon. Parked Titsey Place upper car park. Tatsfield, Woldingham, Botley Hill Summit, Botley Hill Trig loop. | ZacField | 01/01/2024 |
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. | Fionalevey | 20/05/2023 |

Walked up the road from the free car park to the east: fence is easy to cross near the trig. Visited trig and summit. | PGCE | 21/12/2022 |
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. | Lazylizzie | 10/05/2022 |
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 Dave | 06/01/2022 |
On way to Brighton Wedding | GordonAdshead | 22/07/2021 |
33km walk around Westerham. | atreides7887 | 31/05/2020 |
Small detour from NDW | lerritt | 27/07/2019 |
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. | jedthehumanoid | 05/07/2019 |
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. | thejackrustles | 19/04/2018 |
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 Butler | 07/07/2017 |
Drive by. | PeterD | 16/05/2017 |

From cp to south east. | ngthack | 12/12/2015 |
Drove along this to get to the top of Botley Hill. You can vaguely see the top, but not much on the views. | Dragonzilla | 22/11/2015 |
Drove over this one on the way back from Botley Hill summit, no views. | fnem | 08/09/2015 |

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. | mntainman | 06/01/2015 |
Hoped for a drive-by but had to stop and get out to look for it! | tim747 | 10/11/2014 |

drive by peaking!! | stig_nest | 21/09/2013 |
Between Botley boundary and Botley hill. Stopped by road to bag trig. Nice bluebells and felled beeches. | nordicstar | 21/05/2013 |
Visited while in the area for the new top and county top. | rhalstead | 12/03/2013 |
Easy to locate trig - slightly trampled vegetation | Bramley | 27/10/2012 |
Walked down road but couldn't see trig due to vegetation. | prwild | 09/09/2012 |
Drive by peak | steverd | 23/08/2012 |
Mist, calm, drizzle, short distance views. | iangalbraith | 08/11/2011 |
Layby near road junction and hop over fence to trig in field behind hedge. Snow on the ground. | Aye Jimmy | 12/12/2010 |
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! | andrewbanks | 09/06/2010 |
The trig point provided a good reason to stop here. | Father Ted | 15/08/2009 |
Drove over it before getting to the actual summit. | Messiaen | 15/08/2009 |
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. | Richard | 03/05/2008 |
Walked to trig point, which was then a Marilyn. | JohnW | 24/03/2008 |
petey | 21/03/2008 | |
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. | signyred | 27/01/2008 |
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. | Dugswell2 | 28/08/2007 |
Trig in field with sheep. Lots of blue bells in woods opposite. Otherwise not much there. Junction of Vanguard and North Down Way. | bigdady | 06/05/2007 |
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. | destaylor | 05/04/2007 |
Not especially enthralling. Trig not easy to find. | G4OIG | 04/11/2006 |
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. | NotReallyABagger | 09/09/2006 |
Safe roadside parking and a walk back to the Trig | Rhayader_wander | 25/07/2006 |

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 Baines | 24/07/2005 |

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. | wheresthepath | 22/10/2004 |
