| From west near disused canal tunnel eat entrance. Dreadful scrubby summit of Bramber and wind blown trees | vegibagger | 09/04/2023 |
| HP under fallen pine to N of overgrown firebreak along summit ridge, in between mapped paths. Parked near Tunnel House (cut mark) at SE end of canal tunnel (disused) and then followed paths/ tracks across grassy field and into woods. Raining. | Denise | 24/12/2021 |
| Tracks from W edge of woodland meander eastwards and pass just S of the high point. The final section of track from the crossroads is quite overgrown with encroaching brambles. Brambly summit. | RichardM | 24/12/2021 |
| Parked to SW at cricket club: SO 649 419. ROW, then tracks (shown on Geograph map) (sometimes overgrown) to within 50m of summit. Reached summit grid ref without too much difficulty. | PGCE | 25/08/2021 |
| From vergeside parking at SO665434, following field edges to gate at SO664428, then overgrown track to better one nearer the top. Had a good chat with the forestry chap that others have met and he insisted on showing me the view southwards taking in Ledbury to May Hill. Had a decent thrash about summit area but horribly brambly. | milimana | 21/08/2019 |
| From SW, parked by tunnel cottage | Adrian | 28/11/2017 |
| From the North as others. Muddy forestry track, then fight through brambles to the top. On way down met forest work even on a Sunday, who told me there was no ROW. | PeterD | 25/09/2016 |
| Parked at start of track to the north. I met Charlie the forester who allowed me to go on to the summit. He told me about meeting Clive and we had a long chat about forestry and badgers. Friendly chap. Bit of a struggle getting to the high point but I waded through rushes and light brambles just before the brambles became head high. Slightly easier going once under the pines. | Herbert Anchovy | 01/07/2016 |
| From lane to north. A forestry worker stopped me but agreed to let me carry on after chatting. Very brambly at the top and, with tree cover giving variable gps readings difficult to ascertain the exact summit so walked around even more in the brambles to make sure. | clivevilla | 23/06/2016 |
| From 659433 on forest tracks almost all the way. Sunday - no logging going on. | arranc | 29/05/2016 |
| My final Herefordshire P30 summit. Hansnett Wood, from N, muddy logging tracks lead almost to summit. Final approach via small path starting 90m W of HP is a lot better than wading thru the deep brambles, even in Feb. Tall spruce tree in small bramble-free area matches OS spot ht and seems to be at HP of this flattish brambly summit. Access currently discouraged due to forestry operations but all quiet Sunday... except there's a vehicle at the gate when I get back down, so I exit NE via Highlea Wood - much the nicer summit although only P23ish (its summit at SO 67062 43356 I think) and a bit easier to access. | RHW | 14/02/2016 |
