Walked faint ridge line between ask and trig pillar | cjo | 30/12/2020 |
if the HP is by the ash tree, it was visited but we were refused permission to visit trig -by a man with a dog in the garden with trig in. | Denise | 12/12/2020 |
Visited the huge Ash tree but access denied to summit field by man exercising a dog - and it wasn't even his field. | RichardM | 12/12/2020 |
As Herbert Anchovy. | PGCE | 22/09/2020 |
Parked in gateway. Short walk to summit tree. Didn't bother with the trig which looked like it was on lower ground and may have been in a garden. | Herbert Anchovy | 17/11/2019 |
Parked right by the field entrance. Walked to Old tree then over to see the Trig which is in a paddock in view of the house. Nowhere to turn the car so had to reverse a long way back down the lane. | fosal29 | 28/07/2019 |
Wincanton’ s hill. I had 1hr 34 mins exactly between buses to scamper a circuit around 3 Tumps, on a morning escape from school camp at Bruton. The town being famous for its racecourse and the Wincanton Skirmish of 1688 when scouting parties of the ruling catholic James Il clashed with those of the invading protestant William of Orange. The overthrow is often called the bloodless revolution due to the low number of casualties, 17 here (and e.g @ 30 in the Glencoe massacre 4 years later for no oath of alligiance to William) . I bagged the long grass near the trig as the summit and ignored the lone tree in the open field as a possible high point as it was being used for a prolonged portrait photo shoot by a couple, and I thought it best to avoid a skirmish of my own. | Chris Pearson | 20/06/2019 |
Walked from sister-in-Laws in Wincanton. Summit possibly near isolated tree or south of trig. | David Evans | 17/03/2019 |
High point seems to be by the old tree only about 5m from the PROW rather than the trig point to the east. First new hill of 2019. | Swindon Bagger | 18/01/2019 |
From Wincanton on FP.The owner of the house was working in the paddock, so asked for permission to visit Trig and HP. | PeterD | 24/09/2017 |
