3 of 4 on 16.4 mile walk starting on middle lane in droitwich. From the west on footpath and up steep sided field hugging the tree line. This came into open field summit. Came down through bow wood and onto madam’s hill | The-Z-Man | 15/10/2022 |
Main road was closed so I couldn't access the path I was going to use . Instead took track form village to south and then another ROW all the way through Bow Wood , which doesn't feel like it's in Worcestershire, then left on field edge to top. About 4 miles . | Mark Sims | 19/08/2021 |
13:00, 30 degrees, sun. After sumptuous American breakfast at Hickory's Smokehouse in Worcester I was so full I could hardly move but walked it off with a high summer stroll up Windy Ridge with Bag For Life via bridleway to NW. Pastoral view with blue Malvern Hills providing the backdrop. | Wycombe Wanderer | 18/07/2021 |
With Luna. CCW loop through Bow Wood, returning via Court Farm (Very muddy fields!). From Croft Road, Upton Snodsbury. | masmith | 19/01/2021 |
Parking for 1 car without blocking field gate at SO 9361 5595. RoW for 470m, then followed edge of woodland up to summit field. Visited 72m spot height also. Couldn't differentiate them. | jonglew | 17/12/2020 |
Incorporated into a circular from Crowle after Shoots Hill and a circuit of Trench wood. Spotted Marsh woundwort in the stream at the foot of the hill. Good views to Worcestershire Beacon et al. After eventually reaching Crowle I continued to Pershore for Allesborough hill.. | Dazingdale | 12/07/2020 |
Re-visit for new summit. | andrew brown | 10/07/2020 |
Parked 9am from Mancheter at Foxmere Corner. v pleasant walk up S edge of Bow Wood to gate into summit hayfild. | GordonAdshead | 01/06/2019 |
From Court Farm, totally agree with RichardM about the gruesome state of the first 100m. | Aye Jimmy | 19/03/2019 |
Parked by field entrance at SO936558. Followed footpath across field to first gate. Short walk up next field to summit. | Ramblingpaul | 24/09/2018 |
Parked in the Oak car park then up the track almost opposite. | clivevilla | 07/05/2018 |
As Adrian. No cattle but I met the gamekeeper at the top. He asked if I had permission and pointed out that there was no fp. However, when I explained that my pursuit was harmless he was quite pleasant and informed me that the summit was an ancient stockade and SSSI. | Campbell Singer | 24/07/2017 |
Droitwich Spa to Pershore Station. Approached from WNW along edge of sheep pasture to gate into empty summit field. | Smudge | 02/04/2017 |
From Crowle, On bridleway then up edge of wood. | rhalstead | 19/02/2017 |
From the South by Court Farm along FP and then up field boundary to corner.HP seemed to be a few metres North of spot height on map, although pasture was fairly flat. | PeterD | 03/04/2016 |
Very unpleasent start along the mud and slurry Court Farm track. Friendly stiles aid access to large grassy hill top field. Clear skies crescent moon. Hard to determine high point in the dark but settled on SO 93915 55464. Much better descent via E slope. | RichardM | 10/02/2016 |
Through the parkland from the north. Icy and foggy. Emerged into the sunshine just as I reached the flat top. | Herbert Anchovy | 20/01/2016 |
14.52 not living up to its name today! Calm ...rains have passed... Malverns have lost their cloud capping. Bredon has a misty skirt. Eating an organic Oxfordshire windfall apple on a Worcestershire tump summit | vegibagger | 15/11/2015 |
Approached from N through Bow Wood to avoid cattle in lower fields. Pleasant gently domed pasture. | milimana | 16/07/2015 |
From Froxmere Court entrance. 12.10. | arranc | 28/01/2015 |
Adrian's route. Had planned to go from S but SatNav had other ideas. Nice parkland feel to it. Cattle on summit field. | RHW | 31/08/2014 |
Parked at end of public road to Foxmere Ct, along footpath S and then at end of woodland straight up.
