DDFR Top not worth it alone but a pleasant stroll across muddy fields!Donpeblo12/02/2024

Parked by village green, and followed footpaths around fields to the wood. A very uninspiring place.Minto29/06/2023
About 2 miles from Cambridgeshire's Great Chishill down some quiet country lanes and footpaths. Really not much to see here but very serene on a Tuesday afternoon.hillbagger9106/06/2023

Parked in the small church car park before following field boundaries to meet the Harcamlow Way to the N - the footpath on the map goes directly across a ploughed field. Then followed the HW N/NW to hp. Cold wind with a brief snow flurry. Would be worth a revisit for a longer walk in the area when drier under foot. With Gillianrichard6916/01/2023

On a circular run from Great Chrishill. Total 5 miles. Blowing a gale, pouring with rain and no-one about. Idealphil7020/02/2022
Did the County top of Essex on the same day as Cambridgeshire and Suffolk. A 7 mile walk with Cambridgeshire's county top. This county top was a lot easier to specify the summit and it was very wide for how flat it was, but the best of the 3 in my opinion.DavidHiner01/02/2022

SOLO. Overnighted in Sheringham and set off on a quest to bag some of the hills in Jonny Muir's book. This was number 4. Walked from Great Chishill on the road to the byway signposted for Building End. Followed the path next to th house called The Well and past the 'Danger of Death' sign and along the path into the woods which contained a fridge door; one side also has 'Danger of Death' sprayed on it! Followed the route in Jonny Muir's book and returned on wider circle to the south to avoid the intriguing 'DANGER OF DEATH' signs. Next stop Boring Field.Buck08/08/2020
