I was tempted to drive up the service road from the north as the barrier was open, however the dangling chain and shiny padlock persuaded me to drive round to access via housing estate on Simmons Way to the West. 
Very muddy path across open ground then even muddier path uphill through wood. HP is inside inaccessible fence area around reservoir. Could well be man mad but stood on highest ground on western fence boundary. | mntainman | 16/02/2024 |
I walked around the perimeter of the fence looking for a weak point and found one. At 81783 91800 two of the metal uprights are loose and you can easily fit through. The exact GR given seems to be in a bramble patch half way down a bank which I went to and also walked around the top parts of the bank. | clivevilla | 21/07/2022 |
Simmonds WAY over field and up through woods | Mark Sims | 23/06/2022 |
Parked in Simmonds Road 
Across Millennium park to the fenced area. Walked around the perimeter and took the final photo at the Canadanian memorial. 
2 of 5 today | ChinnockC | 26/09/2020 |
Parked at entrance to Shooting Ground to NNE. Circuited the compound, as others. | PGCE | 11/08/2020 |
As per Campbell Singer, mudfest. | Bramley | 28/01/2020 |
Walked up to the lane end and climbed up gate until head appeared to be (it was dark) above any natural land inside compound. Five padlocks on the gate as well as a barrier so they really don’t want people inside. Didn’t bother to enter but gate definitely climbable. Memorial to Canadian airmen nearby. | Herbert Anchovy | 22/01/2020 |
Made obligatory loop of reservoir compound. To my eye, hp likely within fence, but difficult determine extent of man made works. | maclrc | 08/01/2020 |
Decided to make a circular walk of this hill and Frieth Hill (qv). I'd never visited either when I walked regularly in the Chilterns, having thought the area btw A40 and B482 unappealing. This walk from Lane End confirmed my prejudice; a nice enough wood with the HP then scrappy by the busy B482. Improved after Moor End, on to Frieth Hill. | pwheeler | 18/11/2019 |
En-route from Cliveden gardens to Nottingham on my 50th birthday! As others from the residential parking bay onto fp and through wood to circuit reservoir enclosure; there were 5 padlocks on the Spiky gate. Back the same way and onwards to Frieth Hill... | Dazingdale | 17/08/2019 |
Lane from NNW to gates, then right round compound. Highest natural spot (trees there) seems to be within compound behind memorial, 25m E of gates. | Aye Jimmy | 09/09/2018 |
From suburban housing, on signed path thru wood to reservoir fence | arranc | 27/06/2018 |
High Wycombe - Widdenton Park Hill - Frieth Hill - Lane End - bus back to HW. | Mark Jackson | 19/05/2018 |
Walked around secure CCTV monitored reservoir/aerial enclosure- appeared to be of similar height- parking on residential street. overcast. RAF memorial by gate ( Canadian crew, April 1945) | Denise | 24/12/2017 |
On foot paths from Lane End on a grey and damp morning. Satisfied ourselves with a walk around the reservoir enclosure which covers high ground on its E side. Nothing inside the enclosure stands out as a natural high point. Green Woodpecker sighting the high light of the visit. | RichardM | 24/12/2017 |
Parked in Simmons Way. A Roos field and into pleasant woodland to secure compound. | Campbell Singer | 09/12/2017 |
Did a circuit of the reservoir compound fence - Ground just to the E of the 203m SP, on the outside of the fence, seems to be the HP. | DanMaisieBex | 02/10/2016 |
Short diversion from the Chiltern Marathon route which starts in Lane End | philhythe | 11/09/2016 |
From nearby housing estate, did a lap of the compound. | rhalstead | 13/03/2016 |
Lane End to Booker. Gun fire to SW did make me wonder whether it was open season on hillbaggers in Bucks. | Smudge | 11/12/2015 |
Did a circuit round secure compound. Asked Thames Water guys for access - emphatically denied. Difficult to determine if HP is in or outside compound. OS spot height is on Northern of 2 covered reservoirs, so that doesn't help to determine true height of hill. Best elevation I clocked was 194m. | jonglew | 04/12/2015 |
Bike from Wycombe station - biked up track to main gate | trimarc2 | 16/11/2015 |
Walked up track to reservoir compound and HP outside compound close to memorial for the Canadian Lancaster crew | PeterD | 16/11/2015 |
Up track from road to North. Walked round res. cpd. | ngthack | 25/08/2015 |
Track to reservoir compound - circuit on path all around. Memorial to a Lancaster crew 10 m to left of compound gate. Drone of the nearby M40 may soon be quite as a competition to install noise reducing barriers is underway to be installed in 2016 - talk of pohotovoltaic cells in the barriers to produce energy? | Chris Pearson | 14/06/2015 |
On a regular local walk of ours, have bagged it many times without even knowing it was baggable! | wheresthepath | 26/01/2015 |
Easy parking just before motorway bridge. Walked all around the reservoir. Long perimeter for a reservoir. | destaylor | 25/11/2013 |
