Lovely Sunny But Frosty Day. Quick up and down from usual spot before heading off home for Xmas Dinner | Jephcote83 | 25/12/2020 |
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. | Filbertfox | 21/12/2020 |
Parked near junction opposite access road. Crops harvested, easy access to trig. | johnkenyon | 01/11/2020 |

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) | gerrybowes | 23/12/2019 |
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. | Wheelsy | 09/08/2019 |
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 somewhere | ChinnockC | 06/07/2019 |

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. | DanTrig | 23/03/2018 |
