| Up the track. Tree fellers tidying up the burnt forest. | Play2End | 28/09/2022 |
| Drove upto farm. Walked along reservoir road and visited trigpillar and tump summit. Area recently planted with decidous trees | cjo | 25/06/2022 |
| Iron Cross to Harvington. Standard approach from S of reservoir then NW to pick up Wychavon Way over deer fence. Trig sited in a green belt between uncultivated fields with barely developing saplings - impossible to determine HP candidate from visual survey. | Smudge | 20/11/2021 |
| Along lane from farm to NE | GordonAdshead | 13/08/2021 |
| HP is in field of young trees to south of trig, accessed via deer fence across rough grass from farm track to NE of HP and to NE of aerial. HP is outside the aerial and reservoir enclosures. Bridleway to N is tarmaced to Sheriffs Lench farm with wide area at end. | Denise | 22/01/2021 |
| Levelish summit area in recently planted trees. Good views of Malvern Hills and lights of Great Malvern from the nearby trig pillar. | RichardM | 22/01/2021 |
| Parked at Sheriffs Lynch Farm. Trig and summit visited. | PGCE | 27/12/2020 |
| Drove down to Sheriff's Lench Farm, parked and walked SE on the mast/reservoir access track. Over deer gate at the end and into a large flat field with a largely failed crop of saplings. Definitely unable to discern a high point, it's all flat. Visited the trig pillar than back to car. Saw a few people about and lots of cars, but no-one interested in passing the time of day, let alone ask what I was doing. | jonglew | 17/12/2020 |
| Parked in Sherifs Lench by the Manor House, round the back of reservoirs and across field | KC | 22/03/2019 |
| As others parked by barns to NE then walked down lane. Grassy track round back end of reservoir past things growing in tubes. Over into trig field, no crop there. | Aye Jimmy | 19/03/2019 |
| 1st of 8 tops (7 tumps) on a Worcestershire car tumping route. Drove to jct of Wychavon Way with minor lane at SP01687 48858. Followed Wychavon Way Sw then veered off over gate then through newly planted saplings, over 2 low Bw topped fences, past Trig pillar and across grassy field, with newly planted and protected deciduous saplings. Flat land but continued Southwards (with Fox breaking cover) to fenceline to make sure then continued traverse SE to reach spot height at Tunnel Hill Wood, recording 120m (so GPS recording 4m higher at least) Varied return by heading parallel with wood line, recording 129m @ SP 01488 47787, then returning on a similar outward route to record 130m @ SP 01535 48090 although land of a similar height all round! Enjoyed this, with the sound of my boots swooshing through the grass. Returned to car and set off for Rous Lench Hill... | Dazingdale | 26/01/2019 |
| Drove to the large reservoirs and then across corn field taking care to stick to the tractor tyre tracks and avoid crop damage. | Campbell Singer | 24/07/2017 |
| Easy parking by barns to north east | Mark Sims | 30/03/2016 |
| I parked in Sheriffs Lench (but you can drive down the track to get much nearer), walked past converted barn complex , round the back of reservoirs and across ploughed field to trig. | clivevilla | 07/03/2016 |
| Parked by barn to North, short distance to reservoir and then across ploughed field to trig which was hard work. HP appeared to be a short distance south of trig. | PeterD | 20/11/2015 |
| Parked by reservoirs and then short uneventful walk to trig and high point, following tramlines where possible. | Herbert Anchovy | 01/06/2015 |
| Walked from Sheriff's Lench (though tarmac drive goes almost all the way to the mast). Walked round the reservoir compound to get close to the trig, fast disappearing in arable crop. | milimana | 04/05/2015 |
