Lovely Sunny But Frosty Day. Quick up and down from usual spot before heading off home for Xmas DinnerJephcote8325/12/2020
Similar in many ways to Mowsley Hill, gated access and track up to water works, hence the need for a good path.. Weather was poor and visibility reduced. Would be a nice walk on a nice summers night.Filbertfox21/12/2020

Parked in entrance to farm at SK 7663 0553 - Across road & up partially tarmacked track to covered reservoir & mast - Turned left & short walk across ploughed field to trig point. (S)gerrybowes23/12/2019
Left car parked immediately to W of disused railway cutting having just bagged Colborough Hill. Hopped over gate at entrance to reservoir track and followed this up. Just before reservoir a path leads off left through scrub to a crop field, and thankfully tractor tracks passed by the trig so no trampling of crops needed. Second of seven today.Wheelsy09/08/2019
From junction up the track to the radio mast and then a very wet bash through head height vegetation to the trig point I am sure there's a tick somewhereChinnockC06/07/2019

Quick bag from road south, very easy walk through open gate up mast/reservoir lane until end then across field to trig, much easier then I thought it would be. Earlier that day bagged Gartree Hill, re-bagged Burrough Hill and afterwards bagged Colborough Hill and Langton Caudle.DanTrig23/03/2018
