| Headington to Oxford Parkway. | Smudge | 18/11/2018 |
| Accessed from nearby RoW in Forest Hill. HP is within small copse at field boundary with no distinct point, nor line of sight between possible locations. Not too brambly. Natural HP is probably a mound in field to the S of the embankment but we visited all possible HPs. | Denise | 08/11/2018 |
| A stragely busy place, a group of 3 other walkers and a friendly farmer. Luckily on RoW. High point at base of Sweet Chestnut in the levellish wooded bank along the SE edge of the summit field. | RichardM | 08/11/2018 |
| Up path from village to north, 17.33...twenty minutes to sunset | vegibagger | 22/10/2018 |
| From Forest Hill. Summit by field edge. Short grass still in April. Nice hill apart from the road noise. | Herbert Anchovy | 09/04/2018 |
| From the village. Access to summit via stile and steps. | ijpowell | 09/09/2017 |
| Getting to Forest Hill was the hard part. Up from the north. No problem with grass due to it being February. Is ther an easier way from the A40? | Campbell Singer | 26/02/2017 |
| Simples - an apt but horrible word - the catchphrase of Aleksander the Meerkat accepted by the Collins English dictionary in 2010. From Forest Row on row to an easy open grass field direct to hedge line which had been recently been cut right back exposing summit. Simples indeed. Not sure what Aleksander would have said about previous bagger's route comments - 'horribles' probably? | Chris Pearson | 17/02/2017 |
| as per ngthack. Horrendous thrash through head high grass and weeds. Ugh! | arranc | 16/08/2016 |
| Parked on B road W of phone box road junction, in Forest Hill. Walked up road and path into field, waded through 5 ft high grass, tough going to field corner, needed trekking pole and long trousers to bash a way through nettles into thick hedge/trees to access highest point on bank by trees - difficult to assess the actual summit. Once out of entanglements, nice views northwards, but slogged around field edge easier for a bit then harder so just ploughed on direct through the tall jungle like grass! To return whence I came. Bring a machete or lawn mower for this one!!! Or better approach might be paths from the NE. | pdantic | 21/07/2016 |
| From Forest Hill through field and then to Veg boundary. Met fellow hill bragger. | PeterD | 27/05/2016 |
| difficult to survey in trees, summit within 20m | Galltywenallt | 27/09/2015 |
| As others. Field heavy going - grass needs mowing :-) | ngthack | 27/08/2015 |
| From Forest Hill; RoW through wild flower meadow then short distance off path to field edge and HP. | jonglew | 21/06/2015 |
