Given its Hu status this was the must visit top on our drive btw holiday lets in Scarborough and Sedbergh. We had a pleasant little stroll round but could have driven over- the HP seems to be in the middle of the road. With brother, Pete. | pwheeler | 12/06/2021 |

Parked in reservoir entrance and stood on high point tending to SW side of road opposite reservoir. Did look in field to SW and possible looked as high so walked to cross roads, turned left down Well Lane then left again on PROW through Clarence House Farm. This brought me to other side of field opposite reservoir which I crossed back to the van. From this direction field is clearly lower with HP other side of hedge. | mntainman | 06/12/2019 |

A short walk along the verge after visiting Shandy Hall in Coxswold: highly recommended for the outstanding and very interesting talk about Laurence Sterne, but only open 2:30 - 4:30 pm Wednesdays and Sunday’s. | Nick Down1 | 28/08/2019 |

HEMA Amateur Radio Activation. If able to, it’s better to visit by foot or bicycle, otherwise there is little sense of achievement! Plenty of footpaths and forest walks nearby and some nice views from the summit next to the reservoir. | G0DEB559 | 16/08/2018 |
Another easy tick. Just my sort of summit. | Newton Maximus | 20/07/2018 |

Seeing as it was gone eleven that I arrived, the nearby bus shelter was very well placed for that night's doss. | Alex C | 17/04/2018 |
Roadside HP. Had a wander round to bag the 3 trigs on and around the covered resr. I couldn't possibly admit to accessing the compound - but if I did, it would have been up and over the easy main gates, it was a quiet Sunday morning and not a soul was stirring! | jonglew | 11/03/2018 |
Stormcrow | 06/01/2018 | |
Underwhelming. Parked at gate and bagged indistinct snowy ground next to high secure fence. Refurbishment work ongoing inside but no one there today. Interesting skies- bight aquamarine strip beneath with cloud. | Denise | 02/12/2017 |
Nice skies. | RichardM | 02/12/2017 |
Easy parking on wide verge by gates to covered reservoir. Got out of car & walked 20yd SE along grass verge, crossed road & walked back 20yd along opposite verge which appears to be slightly higher. (S) | gerrybowes | 02/09/2017 |

Claire would have been appalled, except that I failed to tell her that this is a hill and I don't think she realised. She was slightly confused by my getting out of the car while she turned it around. | Pete R | 24/11/2015 |
Jen was also as excited as Liz for this one. Water enclosure impressively guarded now. Sealing off old trig location for the ladder-less. | nordicstar | 29/07/2015 |

Easy visit to verge prior to exciting descent of Sutton Bank on road covered in snow and ice. | catman | 18/01/2015 |
Parked at road bend south of Ampleforth at SE 58458 78265 near recreation area. Took track south by fields to wood, by bridge over river and up to fish pond on the abbey's estate. Then followed path on its east side and track through forest up to a pool. Then up to forest road WSW to road, then south-east to summit on road next to reservoir just south of crossroads. Returned the same way. Done while on retreat at Ampleforth Abbey. | Man of Kernow1 | 21/06/2014 |

On way to Claire and Steve's wedding. Not a lot else to say about this one! | simon and co | 19/07/2012 |
With Duli. I thought she'd like this one as she moans when we climb big hills. She moaned that it was completely pointless. I can't win. Might be time for a new girlfriend. | Wycombe Wanderer | 12/05/2012 |

No sign of trig, and sturdy fence has been erected. Had a walk around the fence and took the highest point to be near the locked gate. | The Team | 05/03/2011 |
Parked beside res. No trig. Highest point seemed to be on the road verge. | chrisbien | 04/03/2011 |
There is some redevelopment work going on at the resevoir and it looks like a surdy fence is going to be installed. I was lucky today was the temporary fence proved less challenging. | Father Ted | 23/01/2011 |
could not find the trig, think the reservoir extension has been built where it used to be. | DARRENG | 18/09/2010 |
