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
Roadside parking in Forest Hill village to west. Muddy, but good path to summit field which is well used by dog walkers. Top in hedge along far corner of field. Views north.	Hillsidenick	23/01/2014
From forest Hill, nice views. Top in hedge.	Adrian	08/12/2013
