| To/from Welham today, no one else about, pleasent afternoon stroll to the summit and trig pillar. | praenterprise | 28/01/2024 |
| Back again, an old favourite, finding a route not beset by clinging Leicestershire clay | Colin Crawford | 21/11/2023 |
| Train assisted ride 2nd time lucky with Round Hill | visionset | 10/10/2023 |
| Pleasent gentle run up from/to Thorpe Langton via Bale Barn. Lovely summer views, with native flowers at the field margins. All good and no changes to the OS trig pillar since my last visit. | praenterprise | 02/09/2023 |
| Led my running group up tonight. Starting from Thorpe Langton direct to Stonton Wyville, then up to the summit and trig pillar, before returning to Thorpe Langton. Unusually crops in the field but nothing that affected access to the top. Pleasant summertime views. | praenterprise | 29/06/2023 |
| From junction to N. | sclater | 26/01/2023 |
| Parked to the North on grass verge at junction of Cranoe Road and Burrow Hill Road. SP746948. | David Evans | 15/01/2023 |
| From and to Thorpe Langton via Bale Barn then up to the summit and trig on the Stonton path. Nice views E and NE towards Slawston, Cranoe and Neville Holt. | praenterprise | 29/12/2022 |
| Led my local social running group up tonight from Welham. After paying homage to the trig it was down towards Stonton then along the road for a bit before a second ascent on the Glooston road path up the steep hill to visit the trig for the second time. Then back to Welham. | praenterprise | 28/07/2022 |
| From NW a fine selction of stones ploughed up in the first field -both round and sharp, all colours - black to orange and multi-hued flint and what looked like fragments of glazed pottery - possibly worth a mint but more probably worthless. I carried a haul upwards to quiz what looked like a farmer ahead on foot -inspecting his fields -but he had melted into the landscape and vanished when I crested the rise. The tiny hamlet of Stonton Wyville to the N had a popultion of just 21 in 2011 , and is recognised as a shrunken medieval village. It has a detailed record of its land use in the Domesday book - incl 2 mills and even 2 slaves with 2 ploughs. A tragedy occurred in 1862 when a boiler blew up powering a threshing machine -killing 3 on the spot. | Chris Pearson | 20/05/2022 |
| From NW. Very dry so easy stroll to summit. | RobertP | 14/05/2022 |
| Out and back from Welham. Rather windy in Storm Franklin! | praenterprise | 21/02/2022 |
| The mud makes complete sense of the portmanteau word 'heavy-going'. | Martin R | 06/02/2022 |
| Circular walk from/to Welham. First up Slawston Hill then on to Langton Caudle. Ascent from Stonton Wyville; descent to Welham. Nice views north and east. Also Langton Caudle Trig Point. Beautiful winter morning. | praenterprise | 30/01/2022 |
| With Kate | cbarbrook | 01/01/2022 |
| Chatted to a couple of walkers at the summit and we all agreed the countryside round here is underrated. | Wycombe Wanderer | 16/09/2021 |
| From bridleway to NW where there is easier parking than ROW from N . | Mark Sims | 17/06/2021 |
| To/from Welham on a route I'd not done before. | praenterprise | 05/03/2021 |
| ROW from NW. Very wet; returned via field boundaries, which was better. | PGCE | 24/12/2020 |
| Really straight forward to find. Took the direct route up and down. Not the best walk when the ground is saturated, it’s been really wet in Leicestershire recently. I will definitely walk this hill again in the summer as part of a larger walk. | Filbertfox | 22/12/2020 |
| A muddy, slippery path up a field from the NW but quite a nice hill for this relatively flat area. | clivevilla | 10/11/2020 |
| From Thorpe Langton out on back on Leicestershire round. | rhalstead | 04/10/2020 |
| 1st of 12 of Leicestershire's finest today on a drive from Bedford to Lockerbie. Parked on the lane at SP 7376 9460. RoW to the top. | jonglew | 23/08/2020 |
| Afternoon walk with Katie. | praenterprise | 28/06/2020 |
| Parked up in Thorpe Langton on the rod outside the pub. Followed the Leicestershire Round up to the trig point and down to Mill Farm - incredibly wet and deep mud (probably a route for a drier time of year). Came back via the bridle path from near Mill Farm - much better option for the future if it's wet. | Cap_Thunderbolt | 11/01/2020 |
| Nostalgic walk, from Thorpe Langton. I've only recorded a few visits but I was probably up here twenty times when I lived nearby in the eighties | Colin Crawford | 27/03/2019 |
| Pleasant stroll up from Thorpe Langton with the dogs and Sal. | jenx | 08/12/2018 |
| With Sal, Jenx and the dogs, morning stroll from Thorpe Langton on the tracks, pleasantly muddy | nordicstar | 08/12/2018 |

| as for AyeJimmy | arranc | 11/07/2018 |
| 1.3 mile out-and-back route to summit from road NW, not bad views for a hill of its size. Last hill of the day, earlier that day bagged Colborough Hill, Whatborough Hill, Gartree Hill and re-bagged Burrough Hill. Overcast. | DanTrig | 23/03/2018 |
| Market Harborough to Thorpe Langton. Fortunately diverted by locals on descent to avoid flooded footbridge just N of the village. | Smudge | 30/12/2017 |
| A nice simple hill, parked at road junction to N and followed f/p to top. | Aye Jimmy | 13/05/2017 |
| Tucked the car into the bellmouth at Burrow Hill Road (SP 74640 94883, easy paths. Best to stick to hte field boundaries towards the top it looks quite sticky | DC11main | 17/02/2017 |
| East and pleasant stroll from Thorpe Langton. I was able to avoid the worst of the cloying clay | Colin Crawford | 13/01/2017 |
| Straightforward path walk from the north. A good viewpoint set in pleasant countryside. | JohnW | 27/11/2016 |
| YSM619 Langton Caudle D/T 1/2.5. A nice wee walk up in the dark and we had to get the torches out for this one. A lovely evening walk. I'm sure the views must be great in daylight. I think this is the one we caught lots of rare pokemon? | thejackrustles | 29/10/2016 |
| A short walk up the drying out field to bag the YSM here. | Walker Dan | 27/02/2016 |
| From north. | ngthack | 10/02/2016 |
| GM | Idris | 10/01/2016 |
| From SP 73735 94756. Very, very muddy and slippery: would have been better off with crampons. Nevertheless, a pleasant diversion from the boring A14 en route for home. | summitsup | 07/01/2016 |
| Parked at minor road junction to north on grass verge. Well signposted footpath to the south to trig point and summit. | Campbell Singer | 10/12/2015 |

| From Glooston, Sheeba and i Took the Harborough road and Took the bridleway South at The Stonton Wyville crossroads then Took bridleway on left leading up The flank of The Hill (recently ploughed). You come to a Gate andpast The 140 contour on The right, you past another Gate, and next to a big Ash tree We found a Gate giving access to a nice picnic spot overlooking countryside to The N. Wind quite high but not too cold as clouds flew past quickly. We continued along fenceline and Took fp to trig. We continued past and Took fp leading to Welham. | Dazingdale | 06/04/2014 |
