Good parking on verge of lane off main road. Farm track then gate on LHS. A great grassy tumulus with trig point and excellent views. Bright sunshine, cloudless skies and windy. | RichardM | 27/01/2019 |
A very sunny day and with good views from on top of the summit mound. | M3WDD | 15/07/2018 |
Quick visit from road, trig atop mound next to reservoir. | PeterD | 13/05/2018 |
Large grassed tumulus on SE side of covered reservoir, must be antiquated enough to count as the HP. Trig pillar atop, but slightly offset from the HP. | jonglew | 10/02/2016 |
