| Parked in lay-by next to summit. Trig also found hidden in hedge. | David Evans | 08/01/2023 |
| Arrived here to see the Sunrise, unfortunately cloud cover was quite low. Not much to see. Was with TD. | Firesidepixie | 02/01/2023 |
| 11.25 Re-visit to go down the field to the trig for air-dry clay cast. | vegibagger | 16/10/2022 |
| Parked at Hawkesbury for a leisurely walk up to the unprepossessing top. | PhilipChaston | 20/10/2021 |
| First hill of a S Cotswold day. From good layby as others, about 300 m walking alongside hedge but that was probably more than needed. | pwheeler | 06/09/2021 |
| A quick and easy evening bag. | PGCE | 04/01/2021 |
| Parked in layby at 76960 84663 and made the short walk up to the two gates. The HP is just inside a field. | clivevilla | 15/10/2019 |
| Unexciting top considering it's the only one for several miles around. Agree hp is nearer the gate than the trig, which I only found on the second pass along the hedgerow. | milimana | 29/07/2019 |
| Over gate from layby on bend to suggested high point. Then along field edge to trig, difficult to find, well buried in hedge. FB on far side - of course. | Aye Jimmy | 07/07/2019 |
| A routine bag. | Chris Peart | 27/09/2017 |
| 1/6 (Widden Hill/Minchampton Common/Scottsquar Hill/Juniper Hill/High Botheridge/Crickley Hill) | Fergalh | 13/06/2017 |
| Quick hop into field from layby, almost a drive by. | rhalstead | 25/03/2017 |
| Quick short dash in the dark before the rain returned. Were those the footprints of the 'webmaster' in the mud - who had passed this way just yesterday? Should I take a cast? 500 years ago - the local reverend - William Knight built an ambulatory (a covered walking place ) which is still standing in the garden of nearby Horton Court. Perhaps on dry days he too also walked (ambulated?) up here across this flat hill top.I could have done with a mobile ambulatory this wet evening. | Chris Pearson | 06/02/2017 |
| Parked in muddy layby at ST770847 and found the trig pillar hidden in the hedge 130m S. Revisited on 25/02/2017 to verify that the summit is a few metres inside the gate rather than the trig pillar. | webmaster | 05/02/2017 |
| Out on one side of hedgerow, back on the other. Trig a little buried but not hard to locate | Colin Crawford | 18/01/2017 |
| From the lay by to the north, south along the footpath and over the hedge bank at a gap to the other side; high point somewhere along hedge bank | Mariana Trench | 07/08/2016 |
| Up both sides of hedge. Couldn't find trig. Completely buried in vegetation. South Gloucestershire completion. Seventh county completion in 6 days. | ngthack | 29/07/2016 |
| Easy walk to trig point along hedge or other spots around field perimeter. | Campbell Singer | 17/04/2016 |
| Despite map implying road is higher, walked along E side of hedge to see trig and two gaps. | GordonAdshead | 08/09/2015 |
| FB is on west side of pillar. Take secateurs! | arranc | 19/08/2015 |
| Easy stroll from Layby, trig in hedge, but HP appears to be slightly further on. | PeterD | 16/05/2015 |
| On easy back from sister Tania's to Cheltenham and on to Manchester to pick up Jamie and evening bag of Blackstone edge. | vegibagger | 08/04/2015 |
| Visited the fields on both sides of the trig with Alex Cameron on a sunny morning. | Dugswell2 | 30/03/2015 |
| Parked at layby and hopped over gate. | Herbert Anchovy | 04/11/2014 |
| Large muddy layby for parking to north at road/track junctions. Trig is extremely well hidden in dense hedge, took ages to find and cuts all over hands clearing hawthorn, nettle and misc other abundant weeds to reach it and photograph the number plate. Walked up one side of hedge (RoW) and down other side (not RoW, but easy access) - both sides have paths. Quiet apart from radio hams in layby. | Hillsidenick | 15/06/2014 |
| Visited to bag the 2 Horton trigs. | jonglew | 06/12/2012 |
