From Vicarage Road- easy stroll. | Bramley | 29/11/2016 |
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. | Sixtyplus | 24/11/2016 |
Nomad Perkins | 06/11/2016 | |
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. | Dugswell2 | 02/11/2016 |
From Vicarage Road. A pleasant one hour walk on a beautiful, sunny day. | clivevilla | 26/08/2016 |

Round trip from Vicarage Road with M &B. 
Natural HP seems to be to NE of reservoir. | PeterD | 28/06/2015 |
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. | jonglew | 03/06/2015 |

Up Vicarage Road NW then WSW to top: Back S,SE,ENE to car. Slightly more hill and interest than I expected. | GordonAdshead | 22/03/2015 |
Second attempt. Did not climb the wire fence to get to covered reservoir. | arranc | 15/03/2015 |
From visitors centre. Pleasant enough stroll through the woods. | rhalstead | 28/02/2015 |

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 Anchovy | 13/02/2013 |
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!) | nordicstar | 24/10/2012 |
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! | Hillsidenick | 02/09/2012 |

After orienteering on Ash Ranges. Date approx | Chris Pearson | 15/04/2012 |
Bit of a struggle to locate the top, but eventually did a lap of the reservoir. Managed to spot Wembley when walking back to the main road. | Richard | 25/02/2012 |
Managed to find a space near Go Ape Bracknell. Walked over from there. Lots of cyclists and dog walkers | r.ashwell | 14/02/2012 |
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. | WendyWozEre | 26/12/2011 |
A fine autumn dog walk - Barney and Rosie loved it. | SteveG | 14/11/2011 |

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! | Nick | 23/05/2010 |
The only other person in the whole forest was sitting on the high point having a very long telephone conversation. | Overthehilljill | 17/05/2010 |
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! | signyred | 04/01/2010 |

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. | destaylor | 15/12/2008 |

Far more paths than on map - very easy to get lost without GPS. We found the reservoir as much by luck as judgement. Nice evening stroll though. | wheresthepath | 22/09/2004 |
