Dusk ascent via wretched yard. Descended WSW to B4202, which was straightforward and I recommend as an ascent route. It's shown on the map as a fence but is actually a line of conifers to the summit. Least favourite hill of the day.Wycombe Wanderer30/09/2023

Parked in village hall car park at cross roads. Then scruffy PRoW into fields, then up a steepish earth & rubble bank at the back of a lorry yard to the top. HP either in front of old ROC aircraft spotting post or behind it in the fence line. ROC bunker also here.DanMaisieBex21/04/2022

Parked at village hall: E side of road junction. Walked SE on B road for ~200m then up right-side of conifers to summit.PGCE09/08/2021
Back of yard. Muddy r.o.wPlay2End05/07/2021
Large dirt car park on E side of cross-roads in the village. Walked SE on B road for ~200m then followed the line of conifers up keeping to SE side of them. unsecured ROC post at the top.jonglew31/12/2020
P at village hall then via S side of the line of conifers from SO 7156 7168. Also visited the natural ground c100m SW of the building - just in case. NB the approach from the footpath (commencing 20m ENE of the yard entrance - no need to enter the yard) is not really feasible in summer veg conditions.summitsup16/09/2020
ROC bunker and small red brick shelter near summit. In pouring rain with long wet grass. Easier to access from road to west than fp to east. Parking at rd junction by village hall. Somewhat disappointing summit.Denise 12/06/2020
Took the track into lorry park thinking it was the footpath. Steep bank, tree band, dense brambles and line of trees before summit field of tall grass reached. Brick building at high point, ROC bunker close by. Heavy rain shower so get soaked descend SW through the grass. For some reason I quite liked the summit.RichardM12/06/2020
along dank PROW, then up slippy clay bank covered in brambles through rear of lorry yard. ROC station at summit. A very wet daycjo26/10/2019
2nd Tump of 8 today exploring North-Nw Worcestershire and a foray into Herefordshire. 1st climbed Church Hill then parked up in Cul-de-sac. Took messy fp and scrambled up bank to back of scrapyard then up again to corner, over the Bw fence and Leylandii to the top, with building and other contraptions. Took a slightly easier route down by following the edge of the scrapyard edge then re-traced route back to the car. Continuing to Hollow Linkhill...Dazingdale19/08/2019
Parked to SW of crossroads by rusty gates. Over fence 10m beyond road sign and up field to brick building and something underground.Aye Jimmy12/05/2019

Parked close to leylandii, hopped over wooden fence and followed the trees up to hut. 16th of the day and I was suffering with the heat. Decided to drive home.Campbell Singer18/07/2017

Parked at village hall at the crossroads. Best ascent is to follow a line of conifers up from the B4202. This was my descent but I approached from the footpath junction, which was very brambly route even in January.JohnW15/01/2017
Milimana's route. Rough, ungrazed pasture. Reservoir and red brick ruin at top.Herbert Anchovy16/09/2016

Recommend Milimana route. Fence 10m South of road sign. However, I choose to follow FP initially and found a wall of Brambles. Not an enjoyable top. Came back down to fence.PeterD14/08/2016

Parked at crossroads and walked down road to 715717 and over fence. Highest point near field corner by brick shelter, though better views from 50m south.milimana18/01/2015
There was an open ROC bunker up there.fasgadh07/09/2002
