| Day 5 on the South Downs Way. After negotiating the floods in Alfriston took the inland route of the South Downs Way which enabled me to bag this hill. 5 min walk off the trail to the trig. | fosal29 | 18/11/2022 |
| From car park in Alfriston, NE along SDW and then to trig point/hp. Descent down NE ridge to the Wealdway and along to the base of the Long Man, an impressive chap close up. With Gillian. | richard69 | 07/10/2022 |

| With Firle Beacon. From Firle Beacon car park 468059. Followed the South Downs Way on and end to end walk over Firle Beacon, through Alfriston and up Wilmington Hill, then off North down to the Weald Way and the path that leads past the Long Man of Wilmington to the Car Park in Wilmington. 8.9 miles easy walking, just over 3hrs moving time. | JulieB | 12/02/2022 |

| Parked at the car park for the Wilmington Man which is easily found and fits quite a number of cars. Well signed route up to the summit taking in wonderful views of the man himself. | jamiequackers | 20/12/2021 |

| Struggled to get car on car park because of low clearance and so many bumps. Quick walk up large path and up to trig point. Ran down. When I got back to car park an extremely famous model was doing a professional photo shoot on the car park which was totally bizarre considering the state of the parking area | ketzster | 31/03/2021 |
| From small, uneven CP at TQ532032, crossed road and followed wide South Downs Way uphill. We followed the curving route of the Way, departing to head straight ahead as we passed through a gate while the Way curved to the right. Proceeded over lovely turf to TP, the high point being 5m beyond on obvious raised ground. Fabulous views west, and east over remaining South Downs to Eastbourne. Return by reverse route. Drive away north and look back for good view of The Walking Man. | Dartmoorman | 17/10/2020 |
| Parked Lullington Court. Road and FP back towards Alfriston then turned up FP to the hill. Visited long barrow and round barrow on Windover Hill. Bagged top (w Eoin & Tiarnán) and down path through Lullington Heath NNR. Joined Geraldine & Clodagh for dinner at Plough and Harrow, Litlington. | Pete West | 13/09/2020 |
| My favourite hill of the day (1 out of 5 bagged today). Outstanding views, and added benefit of free car parking and the Long Man. Can see the wind farm out to the sea. | mazz | 16/08/2020 |

| Parked at Priory car park and as I was a bit tight for time I jogged along the trail opposite to the base of the Long Man. Then a leg pumping burst straight up the steeper part of the hill gained height quickly followed by a gentler approach to the trig and high point just beyond. Would like to have had a little more time to relax and explore the area. | Gerry the Ranger | 07/08/2020 |
| 2.5 mile circular from car park at Wilmington, followed path to The Holt woods and the followed track marked on map which is actually a path up to summit, descended via the Long Man back to car park, a few people about, far reaching views on this sunny but very windy day. Later that day bagged Mount Caburn, Cliffe Hill, Wolstonbury Hill and Chanctonbury Ring. | DanTrig | 05/07/2020 |
