2nd visit looking for someone to leave my car before the overnight coach departing Newquay at midnight up to Birmingham for my old climbing friend Alan's funeral / celebration of his life. We shared many adventures together and he would have approved of this micro adventure trying to find free parking in tourist chocked Newquay in summer at night. I got out the car to tag the summit again and heard someone close by urinating in the shadows! | Chris Pearson | 16/08/2023 |
Had a couple of pints in the Wetherspoons then a half mile walk upto the football ground | The-Z-Man | 27/07/2023 |
Unknown where the summit of this hill is. At the entrance to the FC grounds it seems ground drops away to the S, contours also suggest it could do. Had a wander around as far as it possible without accessing the football pitch, and then across to the GR given here, but no knowing which is higher. | jonglew | 21/07/2023 |
After school supply day in Newquay a walk in lovely low dazzling winter sunlight through the town from Porth Island and back along the cliff tops. To the alternative tops through narrow back alleys - the whole town would offer a good varied urban orienteering event -but perhaps not in the summer when the population swells with holidaymakers from 25,000 to 100,000. Hill name should maybe be Mount Wise as this is the name given to the summit stadium of the peppermints (Newquay AFC). Record attendance: 3,500 vs Manchester City in a friendly match on 14 July 1999. My heart went out to the asylum seekers -all men - sitting around the front of a seafront hotel -where they have just been placed temporarily (to the sadly inevitable media stoked concern of locals) by the Home Office after a petrol bomb attack at the Dover Centre. They get free board, food, medical care & £8 week, but not allowed to work. Good to see some of them kicking a ball around on the cliff top grass. Perhaps they coul | Chris Pearson | 19/01/2023 |

What other football ground TuMPs are there? Did this one as part of a pre-brekkie stroll around town. | summitter | 09/08/2017 |
My guess at highest pt is either somewhere around entrance to Newquay AFC football ground (access from Clevedon Road to N) or at NW corner of rec ground (access from Listry Road to E). | BrianMatthews | 28/05/2017 |
Nice. | DARRENG | 15/03/2017 |
Foot-out-of-the-car-door job. Dismal summit compared to the other tumps in the area. | wheresthepath | 29/05/2015 |
Last hill of the day after Penhale Point as staying the night on Trenance Hill where Fiona Clarke owns some properties. | Dugswell2 | 09/05/2015 |
