At night on way to lead a walk. | Wheelsy | 24/02/2024 |
Levelish summit with disturbed ground has fenced reservoir with perimeter track. High point a vague earthy rise in unfriendly group of Hawthorns. | RichardM | 16/09/2023 |
Dark. Lincolnshire Tumps compleat. | Wycombe Wanderer | 20/09/2022 |
Parked by mast and reservoir. Walked around reservoir perimeter and over mound. | PGCE | 07/12/2020 |
Revisited for the new eastern highpoint as I was in the area. Somehow has the feel of a low spoil mound to me; has been planted with trees a decade or two ago. May be hard to prove either way. If 0.8m differential then the natural HP is probably here anyway. | RHW | 24/05/2020 |
Hill bagging at its finest | Mark Sims | 04/09/2019 |
1 of 5 on 59.5 mile bike ride including Sheffield’s hill, walks end hill, saxby wold, patchetts cliff and ash holt | The-Z-Man | 05/01/2019 |
All flatish round here so not easy to determine a definitve HP by eye. Walked round perimiter of the covered resr compound. Ground to the E, planted as a small copse, seemed to be raised, definitely appeared to be higher than ground in the compound.... as borne out by a change in the summit to this location in May 2020. | jonglew | 26/09/2018 |
On route to North Lincs top, parked in gateway opposite and crossed the road. | mart0797 | 10/02/2017 |
3rd hill of the day and my penultimate North Lincs top on an outing with Lesley and my mum after visiting Patchett's Cliff and Ash Holt, driving through East side of Scunthorpe then parking on right hand side of road to explore the signs but then investigated ground to the SE following fenceline past abandoned and derelict building, one side has Space Invaders Mural on it to then walk around NE edge of mast compound- not far away was another derelict property in a sunken area and it was near here that I got my highest reading. Walked back in cereal field then back to the car. Next..Coffee in South Ferriby followed by Saxby Wold. | Dazingdale | 14/01/2017 |
Easy win. | Ramblingpaul | 04/11/2016 |
By sign on bend. | PeterD | 20/06/2016 |
HP seemed to be next to an old bunker about 100 mts from road on north side of compound. | Campbell Singer | 21/04/2016 |
Parked in small layby almost directly opposite summit. They don't come much easier - beware of traffic! | David Gradwell | 14/02/2016 |
didn't really need to get out of the car for this one but I parked up by the mast and walked to the bend in the road. | steven ruffles | 10/02/2016 |
With Evan, Eire & Coel. Alfie stayed in the van. | Dangerous Dave | 10/01/2016 |
Roadside or in cereal field to west. | Adrian | 08/08/2015 |
Back of E verge by northern bend sign. Easy parking by resr entrance. | RHW | 07/12/2014 |
saturday, on leisurely drive down to Horncastle | vegibagger | 06/09/2014 |
Parked in the lay by and walked to the bend signs. Seems to be highest point. | bolieve | 30/08/2014 |
Seems to be at curve in road next to chevron signs. | Aye Jimmy | 14/08/2014 |
Parked near mast and walked back to the two bend signs. | Dugswell2 | 02/08/2014 |
Parked in layby near to the bend, short walk to the highest looking point by the bend signs. | muzza2 | 22/03/2014 |
Very difficult to identify actual highest point due to artificial mounds surrounding mast. The mast itself however, doesn't appear to be atop the highest natural land. Wherever you stand the adjacent ground looks even higher! Decided on the bend in the road, but open to debate. | moorsman | 08/11/2013 |
Top probably just off main road by bend signs although covered other likely spots including new top. | Bramley | 16/08/2013 |
along road, doesn't justify a date- bus and car journeys to Scunthorpe when I lived in Hull and John Lowther in Barton: 1984-1992 | pwheeler | blank |
