Reservoir and woodland tops after work.Adrian223/07/2020
Last of 4 UACs for the day. Parked at end of public access to vicarage lane and followed track for approx 1km to fire break due east of summit. Walked a further 400m to reservoir, finding HP 150m along track up steep path off to the right. No obvious HP amongst braken. Rather than returning same way followed Bracknell Road (Track) south for about 700m before following power lines to the left back to vicarage road.mntainman05/07/2020

From Vicarage Road- easy stroll.Bramley29/11/2016
I walked up from Bagshot station. OK at first but tried to be little too clever and got mixed up with the cycle routes that are now all over the area. My own fault. When I did arrive it was rather unimpressive. At times this activity is more like reservoir bagging.Sixtyplus24/11/2016

Parked near the church to the SE then a 2 km stroll to the summit. Stayed in the nearby Hilton Hotel during FMD Guildford 2007 but no time to bag it then.Dugswell202/11/2016

Round trip from Vicarage Road with M &B. Natural HP seems to be to NE of reservoir.PeterD28/06/2015
From Bagshot, along Vicarage Rd initially. Largest covered reservoir I've seen, gate has low security, climbed over and did a circuit and up onto the top. Highest round seeme to be on NE side.jonglew03/06/2015

Parked by Bagshot church and then a simple stroll along a couple of slightly muddy rides. Hopefully the trees won't be replanted and it can be allowed to revert to heath.Herbert Anchovy13/02/2013
Parked by church in Bagshot, bottom of Vicarage lane, off road spots. Alas major tree felling operation in hand and bridleway churned up. Access possible still, and bagged top in pleasant autumn sunshine. Ran there and back (mostly but for mud!)nordicstar24/10/2012
A very good walk in woods from parking in Vicarage Road at Bagshot. Fairly easy to find, although far more paths in woods than on latest OS map. Watch out for bikes!Hillsidenick02/09/2012

Managed to find a space near Go Ape Bracknell. Walked over from there. Lots of cyclists and dog walkersr.ashwell14/02/2012
Walked from home (trying out our new boots!). Probably best parking would be at the Look Out or Foresters Way. Amazing view of the area. Makes you realise how little of Berkshire is actually urban.WendyWozEre26/12/2011

Started from St Annes church in Bagshot and spent a good 2 hours walking. Want to spend more time there! Take a good map and compass/GPS as it is very easy to get lost!Nick23/05/2010
The only other person in the whole forest was sitting on the high point having a very long telephone conversation.Overthehilljill17/05/2010
Failed to find access from B3430 but managed to park on (non private) part of road to Rapley Farm. Was asked twice if I was lost, but allowed to go on to the 130m top where for some reason I expected to find a trig!signyred04/01/2010

Good walk from Discovery Centre - has a cafe and lots of parking. 2 tops all very indistinct. Even through there are people around you could get lost as there are so many paths and tracks.destaylor15/12/2008
