Three jittery roe deer and wet tall grass in first field and three inquisitive horses in the second field. | Martin R | 26/08/2023 |
Parked by cottages to NNW then up ROW and onto overgrown track south | Mark Sims | 08/06/2022 |
Parked to N at start of track (could have parked 50m up track). ROW, then ahead on track to paddocks. Over gates to summit in second field. Horses have obviously got used to baggers as they didn't come close! | PGCE | 19/09/2021 |
Approached from the S -left bridleway at ST 9842 2307, along double fence & then over 2 gates into paddock. Several excitable horses. N along fence line & thick hedge, over 2 more gates & into 2nd paddock with the HP. Left after a quick photo over another gate & then N to re join the bridleway. | DanMaisieBex | 17/10/2020 |
Up track from the north. Hadn't read the route descriptions so headed across the stubble field rather than continuing on the track to the paddock. Struggled through the wide hedge and two fences to get into the paddock. Returned by the route I should have gone up. No horses. Someone has blocked a badger sett with white jerry cans. | Herbert Anchovy | 16/11/2019 |
17.36. Up ROW from house to the north then up track and over gate into field with two horses both of which trotted behind me, one of them giving my back too close attention that finally became a little no which then made me very wary and I back on up the hill saving my stick back and forward to I could climb over a gate. | vegibagger | 22/08/2019 |
From north, ROW initially, then track to gate and up to top. No horses today, so went both sides of fence to make sure visited HP | PeterD | 04/08/2019 |
Wiltshire blanketed under glistening snow on a beautiful sunny morning.Minor roads sheet ice so tightened my boots and made a 3 and half hour circular walk through soft powdery snow from the A30 way to the north to reach this beautiful tranquil valley with its 3 small adjacent Tumps. 2 friendly horses in summit pasture / snow field came over to gingerley sniff my offered hand - the usual way horses greet strangers, and nicely warming my hands. In the 1860s rural crimes reported in Alvediston included the expected misdemeanours of stealing a rabbit trap and wood, but the magistrates must have been surprised by the culprit brought before them for stealing thorns (!?)and let them off with just the summons to pay. They were less forgiving to the individual found guilty of being drunk and making a disgraceful noise on the highway! Best to be quiet around here and leave those thorns alone. | Chris Pearson | 03/02/2019 |
As jonglew - the summit field is now a paddock too. | Chris Peart | 17/08/2015 |
