From the layby on the southbound A38 southwest of here, along the side of the A48 and then right along the first part of the track to the high pointMariana Trench17/03/2023
Parked by sharp bend on Itchingham Road and then walked NW on bridleway, which was pleasant enough, to the top and both road verges, which were less so.milimana28/11/2022
On walk from Alveston to Abbey Hill and Milbury Heath. Still can’t work out if top is in middle of road, or beside FP after gate.PeterD23/08/2022
Pleasant walk from the Thornbury leisure centre car park. I thought the hedge line on W side of Abbey Lane stood reasonable chance as being the high point.RichardM04/04/2021
Parked on minor road to SE and walked up track.Tony J23/01/2021
Squeezed car into entrance to track. Continued to Milbury Heath.PGCE05/01/2021
On way to Garden Centre at Milbury Heathdicky06/07/2020
Parked where Jubilee Way crosses A38. Summit could be road verge just NE, or by bend on JW track through gate just to SE.Aye Jimmy30/06/2019
Parked just to East of footpaths on main road near summit.David Evans16/03/2019
Parked near the top and walked around a bit.clivevilla10/10/2018
An easy bag that enables me to disentangle myself from a lengthy MG touring rally.mrs_ts722/04/2018

A drive by. Detoured off the M5.Play2End14/09/2017
Parked in layby for short walk.rhalstead25/03/2017
Just to be sure I don't have to come here again; checked out the path to the south, central reservation and path to the north.DC11main17/03/2017
As my Tardis was in for repair I arrived by car, unlike 'The Doctor' who in 1976 materialised here ( in the quarry on the east slope). His mission was slightly trickier than summit bagging as he had to defeat 'The Hand of Fear' which had taken over nearby Oldbury Nuclear Power Station -where it gained power from radioactivity. Happily,with the help of his assistant Sarah Jane Smith, he was successful and all is now calm in these parts.Chris Pearson06/02/2017
Got out of van, to avoid accusations of a drive-by bagging.ngthack29/07/2016
Parked then stroll to east side of road.Adrian16/01/2016
A drive over summit is in the middle of the road.Swindon Bagger25/10/2015

Short walk fro car. Either behind gate or middle of roadPeterD16/05/2015
Brief stop on pleasant way home from Bristol before rejoining the M5 at J13.GordonAdshead25/03/2015
Parked on south bound road verge by track. Not much to stop for really as high point does seem to be on the road.Herbert Anchovy14/01/2015
Summit probably on A38, but could be on either side.jonglew13/07/2014
Top appeared to be on refuge in middle of A38 where Jubilee Way crosses. Path all way from parking area to SouthBramley05/10/2013
Wandered up middle of central reservation and up track to the east that looked like it may be marginally higher. However also noticed there is a 109 m spot height 1.8 km east and 1.3 km north in the middle of a grassy field, a much more satisfactory summitt site. Need the tamperers in with their expensive equipment.vegibagger06/09/2012
unexciting. Tk just E of A38 gate; can park briefly just to N RHW22/06/2003
