Buriton to Torberry Hill on a hot bank holiday Monday with excursions to Head Down, Oakham hill on the way out and to West Harting Down on the return. | Buck | 26/08/2019 |
From Oakham Hill, quickly joined bridleways down to Downley Bottom, then up the dry valley in W Harting Down. Easy to HP off the bridleway from the E, needed a little track to get to NW edge but worth it for the views from above 200 m. Looks like it could be muddy- bone dry today after a dry spell. Final Tump of walk over War Down, Holt Down, Head Down, Oakham Hill and West Harting Down, returning to Halls Hill car park. | pwheeler | 25/04/2019 |

Flattish forested summit with leaning trig. Lovely mossy branches plus mist and large regular drips down your neck.Easily accessible from path through open forest- mainly beech. | Denise | 20/01/2018 |
Paths and forest tracks from Chalton Down. Summit is a large levellish area in open mossy beech woods. A lot of ground S of the leaning trig is of similar height as ground next to trig. Disturbed ground E of trig is slightly higher. Glimpses of views W through the trees. | RichardM | 20/01/2018 |
