| Parked in hotel car park and asked permission at reception, which was readily given. Strolled around the back to the staff quarters and high point armed with the aura of the righteous | DC11main | 23/03/2023 |
| Lovely building and garden that doesn't seem particularly private. Stone dog route. | Wycombe Wanderer | 08/01/2023 |
| From this very hotel PM David Lloyd George at the end of WW1 announced the (successful) coupon election of 1918 - to form a coalition party. His manifesto read 1.Trial of the exiled Kaiser Wilhelm II; 2.Punishment of those guilty of atrocities; 3. Fullest indemnity from Germany; 4.Britain for the British, socially and industrially; 5.Rehabilitation of those broken in the war; and 6.A happier country for all. LG had already introduced the welfare state with N I contributions and pay for the sick ( it was known as going on the Lloyd George for decades). He was less proud of having reluctantly accepted Haigs Passchendaele plan and the subsequent slaughter. National Insurance is still in the news today having gone up this month, as is sadly war - with the ongoing horrors in Ukraine. LG also had scandal to deal with (Marconi shares) whilst today Boris has Covid partygate having just been fined. | Chris Pearson | 23/03/2022 |
| Parked in hotel car park, and went anticlockwise around hotel, through garden and past Private sign to summit. Evening visit, in the dark, nobody outside. | PGCE | 22/09/2021 |

| From hotel car park. Busy. | Bramley | 20/07/2021 |
| Unexpectedly attractive Victorian House, on residential street and now a hotel- the Mount- sadly quiet today in Covid times. Hard to say where HP is-could be under the hotel but we settled for a spot by the accommodation block by a beech. I have been in the hotel for a work meeting so maybe I visited the HP then? | Denise | 09/12/2020 |
| Car park and hotel sadly all very quiet at 14:00 in Covid times. Gate on N side of hotel accesses the well kept gardens and terrace which you have to wander across to reach the 'Private' sign and few metres walk to the level lawn on the S side of what appears to be the staff accommodation block. No views. LIDAR summit is on other side of wall and not accessible from the hotel but from the general topography of the area, seems very unlikely to be the natural high point. | RichardM | 09/12/2020 |
| Parked in hotel car park, took a wander round the back, past the private sign to the S side of what looks like the staff quarters. HP seems to be on a well cut lawn, so maybe it's hotel overspill accommodation. | jonglew | 18/12/2019 |
| Asked permission from reception, then went through bar, around buildings to the top. | Andrew Pearson | 09/11/2019 |
| Parked at Hotel and pretended to be a workman. | David Evans | 01/08/2019 |
| People on the lawn but no challenge as i walked round the hotel to the woods at the back and a gentle struggle thru' to the top, avoiding entering the Private grounds | carole engel | 19/04/2019 |
| 8 of 10 on epic 49.3 mile bike ride including church hill, wrens nest, Dudley castle, netherton hill, ridgehill, blackhill, wrottesley hill, tettenhall woods, bushbury hill and essington hill. Felt a bit out of place on my sweating and on my muddy bike with a wedding going on inside. Quickly moved on | The-Z-Man | 15/09/2018 |
| Decided to bathe in the fountain of perpetual youth before ascending the TUMP. | Play2End | 25/08/2018 |
| 2nd tump of 5 today, this being the last of a traverse from Albrighton station, climbing Wrottesley Hill, then Holly lane to Pattingham road, passing lots of very large houses (no footpath) before arriving at the hotel. I bought the customary coffee before exploring descending past a Japanese Cedar, then fighting my way through Japanese Knotwood to climb up the bank to the Beech tree beside the accommodation block. I brazenly crossed the lawn, recording a higher reading next to edge then descended following the ropes course before re-tracing steps to the back garden. Then on the road to the bus stop, taking the no. 10 bus within 10 minutes to Wolverhampton Bus station for the Metro to Church Hill.... | Dazingdale | 23/06/2018 |
| Seemed quiet at 7-30pm so wandered through gardens and around S end of hotel taking photos as a guest might do... Highest point seemed to be next to large beech tree at side of lawn behind accommodation block. Where rope activity area in wood meets lawn a few metres away may be slightly lower. | Aye Jimmy | 24/08/2017 |
| Bagged after buying a cup of coffee. Not challenged. | Ramblingpaul | 19/07/2017 |
| wandered around grounds of hotel | cjo | 29/04/2017 |
| From the hotel car park, walked passed a pair of stone guard dogs to the back garden. Went around the back of the 1960s block. Signs up saying no access but no one challenged me. All seemed rather grand. | Herbert Anchovy | 04/04/2017 |
| Around hotel, across gardens and behind accommodation block. Quiet for a Sunday lunchtime. | PeterD | 23/10/2016 |
| With a top like this its hard to know whether to adopt special forces style stealth or just be brazen. Being a scruffy urchin i chose the former. A lightning raid. | stig_nest | 21/04/2016 |
| Round the back of the hotel. | Barbara Singer | 23/02/2016 |
| Asked at reception of Mount Hotel if it was OK to go round to the highest point of their gardens. Receptionist looked in a kindly way at me and acquiesced. I think she had met people with my problem before. By the way, it's round the back of the south wing of the hotel. | Campbell Singer | 23/02/2016 |
| Parked in Mount Hotel cp. Went round behind hotel past a marquee being erected for a wedding. Not challenged. | ngthack | 29/11/2015 |
| By conifer tree behind accommodation block. | Adrian | 14/11/2015 |
| A bit tricky as you have to walk behind the hotel across the gardens and then behind the accommodation block with a clear sign telling you not to. Ah well, I did and nobody challenged me. | clivevilla | 29/08/2015 |
| Parked in the large Mount Hotel car park and then had a good walk around. The Mount Hotel is the former home of Charles Benjamin Mander, a paint and varnish manufacturer. The house was built in 1865, extended in 1891, ballroom built in 1908 and the house was sold in 1952. | Dugswell2 | 25/03/2015 |
| Behind hotel on grass,by rope activity area. 15.00. | arranc | 20/01/2015 |
| Behind accommodation block: grass between building and woodland. My final Wolverhampton P30, | RHW | 31/08/2014 |
| Summit spot height in the grounds of the Mount Hotel - great one to bag if you're at a wedding reception! As I wasn't, and had walked up on the lethal road from Wightwick Manor, I looked for high spots in the car park etc until the staff gave me the evils. With less trees, you'd have really good views of the Clee Hills. | DanHolme | 02/02/2014 |
