| with L & Betty(Jack Russell)on a 3 hour 4 Tump circuit from Selborne through thick mud in driving mizzle (not quite drizzle) starting up the zig zags. A sign tells that they were cut by Gilbert White (a pioneering birdwatcher) and his brother, who is rather sidelined in the credit for the considerable effort undertaken. | Chris Pearson | 31/01/2016 |
| Large car park in the village for Gilbert White Field Study Centre. Steep walk up well-made zig-zag track to flat partially wooded summit plateau. Not easy to determine a precise HP. | jonglew | 29/04/2015 |
