Starting in caunton on 46 mile bike ride. Rode into Kirton then up kirton park following footpath through quarry. Once at the end turned left up field edge and round to trig | The-Z-Man | 24/02/2024 |
Park at the start of the reservoir access track. Take the track (a Right of way) until it turns right. Carry straight on and work your way clockwise round the reservoir to the summit. | moorsman | 23/11/2023 |
Parked at end of track. Visited summit, then clockwise around compound to trig. | PGCE | 07/10/2023 |

From track entrance followed FP, once through small wooded area, headed back uphill near to quarry edge to reach HP. Although trig a short distance away, walked all the way around compound perimeter to reach Trig. | PeterD | 26/08/2021 |
As many others: parked at bottom of access road. If it is just the trig point you are after do not take anti-clockwise direction at reservoir perimeter; unless you are a fan of blackthorn/hawthorn hedgerows and tall barbed-wire fences. For trig point go left at perimeter and after 25m the hedgerow has a 3m break for vehicular access. Trig point is further 20m clearly visible across grass. | Meanderer | 23/08/2021 |
Parked at entrance to reservoir track and walked up | dazedemon | 21/03/2021 |
Parked at bottom of Reservoir track. Anti clockwise round compound to hump on edge of quarry. then back round clockwise to trig point. On my own. Sunny. | alwaysinshorts | 28/02/2021 |
It’s much easier to skirt the compound in an anti-clockwise direction, to the summit on the quarry edge. I didn’t! Crossed a very muddy field along the footpath to visit the trig first. Solo. | Dangerous Dave | 23/01/2021 |

Trig and high point, left then back right round compound | Bramley | 11/08/2020 |
Round of 4 hills from Nottingham 107.1km. Willoughby Hill, Golden Hill, Ollerton Pits Wood and finished with Burstheart Hill. Called via the major oak too, but robin hood was out. All fairly straight forward having read other logs. | Nicky C | 24/04/2020 |
Easy parking to the South at start of reservoir track SK695673. | David Evans | 06/01/2020 |
Roadside parking at start of reservoir access track (SK 6960 6731). CCW circuit round compound to a mound overlooking Marl Pit. Only 12m from trig pillar but impenetrable hedgerow necessitated a backtrack and CW circuit round compound to access it. | jonglew | 19/07/2019 |
Reservoir track then anti-clockwise around reservoir fence to raised ground bounding edge of Marl Pit, no doubt man-made but sort of acceptable and offers great views of the terraced Marl pit. Easiest to walk back to track and clockwise around fence to visit the trig. Fine sunny morning. | RichardM | 15/01/2019 |
Much easier going round to right to bag high point before coming back to front and going left to bag the trig. | Dugswell2 | 02/09/2018 |

With Adrian & Smudge. Penultimate Notts completion hill for Adrian & self. As AJ for route. Bw fence rather tricky. Hill lived up to it's name with the oil seed rape. | ngthack | 23/04/2016 |
View over to Lincoln cathedral and over the quarry the other way | Adrian | 23/04/2016 |
From the Thackrahmobile. | Smudge | 23/04/2016 |
From S via track up to reservoir. | Wheelsy | 12/02/2016 |
From south, followed distinct footpath across field of swedes, then into pasture field to trig adjacent to reservoir and mast. Vaulted the bwf as hp is on bank above marl pit. | Campbell Singer | 05/02/2016 |

2nd hill of three today on a long walk with my partner's labradoodle, Lexi Rue. We started from Kirton and climbed Willoughby hill before following dyke onto disused railway then cutting across fields to arrive on edge of Marl pit. I climbed over to visit trig before realising the banking was the summit, necessitating clambering over the barbed wire fence yet again. Carried onto Eakring via tracks. | Dazingdale | 19/11/2015 |

On way down to Kettering via A1, few trig/Tump diversions to break journey up. Parked this one in lane to tower. | nordicstar | 04/03/2015 |
From south, bridleway to gates of Severn Trent's Golden Hill reservoir compound. Round to L and trig S1567 comes into view. Highest point about 20m further through hedge with barbed wire to cross. Summit on rough banking overlooking a vast earthy quarry - Marl Pit. | Aye Jimmy | 15/12/2014 |
