| I pass the spot frequently. The highest point appears to be the crossroads. There is a covered reservoir close by which is higher, but manmade. | AlexanderHoward | 26/11/2011 |
| drive past on the way back from the game fair with Is - not really worth it! | mr bounce | 23/07/2011 |

| A rather tedious and pointless walk from Stanmore. | Herbert Anchovy | 02/02/2010 |
| 2nd top of B Hol sunday after H Heath.Maximum security reservoir!!. Visited nice old boundary stone,crossroads;circumnavigated revervoir.Utterly depressing top/area. Loads litter,keep out signs,traffic.Glad to leave | martin & storm | 24/08/2008 |
| Closest I could get was 79m so did a J.Edwards and circumnavigated it. | destaylor | 26/02/2008 |
| Reservoir is now all locked up so impossible to get to top. Closest I could get was 0.05km in Hartsbourne Park grounds. Visited crossroads and circumnavigated reservoir to claim the top. | signyred | 27/01/2008 |
| As part of a circular walk including Harrow Weald and Stanmore Commons. | Overthehilljill | 27/01/2007 |
| Short break from Trigpointing in the Watford area for this top | Rhayader_wander | 29/11/2006 |
| I actually went into the Three Valleys Water site and up to the top reservoir - but this may be over the old county border? | jonnymuir | 19/05/2006 |
| Tricky to decide as whole area is very flat. Best bet is at stone marker on the High Road (A4140) showing the old border between Hertfordshire and Middlesex. | Nick | 17/03/2006 |
| Very uninspiring, glad we were visiting relatives nearby as it wouldn't have been worth the trip on its own. Easy to reach on a short diversion from the London LOOP, or alternatively link it to a walk through the attractive Bentley Priory park nearby. | wheresthepath | 26/12/2004 |
