| Same route as PGCE from Vurlands animal farm car park. My 800th English 100-199m hill and 400th English and Welsh hill this year. | PeterD | 17/12/2023 |
| Parked in Swyre. FP all the way to the hp field. No need to walk along road. | Andrew Pearson | 28/09/2023 |
| Awkward, unpleasant bag from gate to E. Last hill before going to holiday let in West Bay. It looks to me as this could be claimed as a drive-over bag- trig in hedge, road cut into natural grond etc etc | pwheeler | 03/06/2023 |
| As fosal29: Easy parking East in Vurlands Farm Shop car park. Short walk West along busy road to enter field at ROW. Along inside of hedge to hidden trig & HP a few metres into field. | PGCE | 23/04/2021 |

| Some people enter the field of hedge funds. Some people just enter fields and hedges. Both activities equally baffling to most of the population. | Chris Pearson | 10/03/2019 |
| Field with a crop of barley - luckily there were tractor tracks from the gate all the way to the summit - visit possible w/o any damage to standing crop. Trig point now fully enclosed in vegetation and barely visible | M3WDD | 14/07/2018 |
| Summit on N side of road trig buried in thick hedge | Tony Hartry | 07/09/2017 |
