| Recommend avoid on bank holiday. Parked further away from the pay and display machine,than the walk to the base of the slag heaps. | Martin R | 29/05/2023 |
| From forestry car park - dusk visit. Main summit VERY steep. Also visited alternative highpoint, which is considerably easier. | PGCE | 24/09/2022 |
| Both summits visited | PeteF | 09/08/2021 |
| Parked at roadside lay-by off the A4136 and took the long way around! Got caught in a heavy downpour but overall enjoyed this little adventure. Went up both summits. | Gerry the Ranger | 14/11/2020 |
| access from Cannop Cycle hire/ trails carpark- P&D. we cycled here. Brambly and steep informal path leads from carpark. Two summits, with mature trees, both visited , hard to say which is higher as no line of sight. ? consolidated spoil heap. | Denise | 29/05/2020 |
| Both peaks on steep mountain bike trails - apparently no longer used in this part of the forest. Colliery spoil heaps but very enjoyable none the less. | RichardM | 29/05/2020 |
| Parked in cycle centre and did both tops. Both are quite steep and trees were quite handy to slow my descent. | clivevilla | 04/12/2018 |
| Parked on road side. Former spoil heap ? | Ramblingpaul | 19/04/2017 |
| From cycle centre. Very steep ascent. Not very steep descent. | Campbell Singer | 23/09/2016 |
| Nw and Se summits both visited and look v similar on map and on ground. Hard to split but may be abneyable, would need a mate with something very bright on opposite summit. From Se, limited parking. Cannop cycle centre to Ne closed 0747 Sat am so riding a parking ticket or paying not an option. Interesting summits very well covered with mature pinewood. Good sighting of 4 wild boar crossing track in front of me. | RHW | 03/09/2016 |
| Took standard route (didn't bother to pay). Last bit amazingly steep but got up the cycle track itself - it was surprisingly grippy in the wet - but used trees to aid my descent. Seemingly a colliery spoil heap rather than a natural hill. | Herbert Anchovy | 15/06/2016 |
| Steep sided little Bing cone next to a mega biking centre | vegibagger | 30/03/2016 |
| Parked at track on B4226, only easy way up appears to be from North side, up the bike track. Very steep final scramble to HP, but found a slightly easier way down . | PeterD | 25/05/2015 |
| From cycle centre (£3.50 car park) to foot of cone. Pull up on hands and knees using fir trees to hold on to and to top. Backside used on way down!. | arranc | 10/03/2015 |
| Parked at cycle shop, past road utilities compound then up very steep cycle tracks to an abrupt HP in conifer woodland. | jonglew | 17/02/2015 |
| Five Acres to Cinderford. A lot of down from Berry Hill! | Smudge | 23/11/2014 |
| From cycle hire centre, watch out for Mountain Bikes. Very steep loose ground to top. | rhalstead | 15/12/2013 |
| Whist mountain biking at Pedal a Bike Away, date estimated. | Swindon Bagger | 01/05/2010 |
