Parked at sharp bend to E of HP. Walked up road to gap in hedge, and then along field margin to summit, all very flat.Minto05/07/2023
Sharp bend to E of HP has parking off the road, in shade. Gap in hedge by hedge across field gave access to HP along somewhat overgrown margin, very flat area but views. Right on route from our base in Bridport to the Cadbury hills. With Petepwheeler05/06/2023
From lay-by to south, through gap along field boundary with bluebells. HP could be in field or on earthbank. Only few minutes from road. Then went to trig to SW.PeterD04/04/2023

Layby to South with convenient gap in hedge; followed tractor tracks in dry crop to indistinct summit.Denise 20/09/2020
As others, from the very convenient layby with gap in hedge. Uninspiring.RichardM20/09/2020
Parked off the road at the sharp bend. Plodded round sodden field on conservation strip. The hunt was about, but seem disinterest in my to be equally odd pursuit. My second of the day but not a great bag.Pete West20/02/2020

Boring. One of those that makes you feel a bit of an anorak for doing it.clivevilla04/12/2013
The crop was at ground level so had a good look around. The summit seemed to be along the hedge bank in the vicinity of a holly tree, as per the GR. I also visited the Gore Hill Trig which appeared to be the highest point on that part of the hill.Chris Peart01/01/2013
An extremely windy day. Needed to do a trespass into a barley field to gain the summit, but quite close to the field boundary so no crop damage done.jonglew16/06/2012
Parked just across from the top in the fieldchrisbien22/05/2012
Parked on verge and then through a gap in the hedge. I thought the highest point was somewhere on the hedge bank but I guess that's a man made feature.Herbert Anchovy14/05/2012

Easy parking on rhb to East. Closest to summit 40m as in the centre of wheat field. Almost flat anyway.destaylor04/08/2011
At listed GR the GPS showed 265m and the ground was obviously higher at ST 64567 05197 where the reading was 269m. seemed even higher land over by shooting tower at corner of a wood and sure enough at ST 64765 05442 got a reading of 672m. All cultivatedsignyred31/01/2011
