| Straightforward and said hello to the alpacas. | Alan Caine | 30/12/2023 |
| Short stop on the way to Wales. | Mark Jackson | 27/10/2022 |
| Managed by Worcestershire Wildlife Trust a small plantation woodland planted in the 1950s with black, Scots and lodgepole pines, larch, chestnut, oak, beech and Douglas fir. Not obvious but the land here was formed by a glacial terminal moraine in the last ice age and forms part of the wooded skyline surrounding the upper Arrow valley around Alvechurch. Now part of Birmingham's greenbelt the adjacent linear village of Rowney Green, although a commuter village values its rural peacefulness and the fact that its road is not a shortcut or through route to somewhere else. It community spirit is boosted by the village hall which becomes a one day a week pub (Goat and Trousers!). Residents are encouraged to walk the 1 mile fp over this hill and back to Alvechurch for shops and services rather than drive the 3 miles round -although wellies and a tolerance to carry your shopping uphill on the return journey required. | Chris Pearson | 13/12/2021 |
| Parked on side road and followed easy path to top. Alpacas out in force. | Bramley | 26/10/2021 |
| Usual route. Alpacas abundant. | Play2End | 27/04/2021 |
| Parked in side road (Newbourne Hill) in Rowney Green. ROW to summit grid ref, all on a good path. No alpacas today. | PGCE | 19/01/2021 |
| Parked roadside (SP 0435 7165). Walked NW on RoW until the ground began to drop off, then wandered around the playing fields until it got too muddy, then backto the car, still none the wiser. | jonglew | 16/12/2020 |
| Alvechurch circular. | Smudge | 10/11/2019 |
| 5th top of 8 on a predominantly Worcestershire car tumping route, visiting Swines Hill, Rous Lench Hill, Moreton Hill and South Crest, then stopping at an M&S service station to drink and eat before continuing. I parked up in the village and took fp into the Woods, exploring either side of the track, one side in brambles looked marginally higher but looked like unnaturally distubed ground caused by dumping and the other some spaced out conifers with Alpacas further back. I recorded 178m at Mound near track @ SP 04169 71781, 177m near track in brambles @ SP 04121 71785 but it is all very level. Back to the car and onwards to Moorgreen Hill.... | Dazingdale | 26/01/2019 |
| Flat top nature reserve and playing fields. Probably in alpaca field. | cjo | 11/11/2018 |
| From village across playing field to path. | Ramblingpaul | 14/08/2018 |
| On RoW from the village. | Moorponder | 14/07/2018 |
| Up the ROW from the middle of village. | vegibagger | 07/01/2018 |
| Easy bag on ROW from Rowney Green. On the edge of familiar country for walking round Weatheroak but our first visit to this HP. My companion, Pete, had put in much more effort cycling on the hilly lanes up to the village 6 m, below the HP, over the years. | pwheeler | 30/12/2017 |
| Parked at village hall, short way SW is start of track into wood. Nature Reserve sign is at the first junction of paths, think it must have been moved from original position. Very muddy path W for 70m past the alpacas to alternative hp. | Aye Jimmy | 09/11/2017 |
| Parked in village hall CP. | mart0797 | 12/08/2017 |
| Parked in Rodney Green village hall cp. easy walk along tree lined fp. Lamas in adjoining field, most of whom were asleep in the afternoon sun. | Campbell Singer | 12/07/2017 |
| Pleasant circular from Alvechurch then coffee at Cafe morso. | ijpowell | 29/04/2017 |
| Field path from Alvechurch, lack of snow a disappointment. Essentially level path across summit area | RichardM | 13/01/2017 |
| Parked at end of cul-de-sac, climbed gate from where it was a simple level walk to the alpaca field. | Herbert Anchovy | 07/11/2016 |
| Parked in Village Hall. Short walk up ROW. Small mound behind sign. Counted 6 Alpacas in field. | PeterD | 21/08/2016 |
| Had hoped the nature reserve might provide some interest for this easy bag but even that was nothing special today. | milimana | 08/08/2015 |
| Corner of woodland by NR sign. Alpacas in field beside track. | RHW | 31/08/2014 |
| A short walk along footpath into woods with football pitch on right. All very flat but agree with Adrian. | Dugswell2 | 22/10/2013 |
| high point just behind the sign board of Newbourne Wooods | Adrian | 16/06/2013 |
