Out for an early morning walk along the South Downs Way and managed to grab this one on the wayThomasJoseph06/09/2023
Parked in small car park at 52940 27731 and walked back down the road to the SDW, along that to the steps and along the field edge. Then across to summit and trig.clivevilla22/01/2023

Fine leg of SDWTintenty17/06/2022
There are steps up to the summit field from the SDW approx NNW of the trig, no gates or fences, and so an easy walk up the field edge and across grass to the copse.milimana10/06/2022
Walked up from SDW, walked directly back to car park - original fence gap thoroughly barb-wired up, used the new hole to the side.johnkenyon07/11/2021

From Car Park. Considering that it is shown by the OS as a good viewpoint, it is rather sad that the famer has greatly reinforced his fences.GordonAdshead21/02/2020
Easy, short access from Cheesefoot head car park to South West, just off busy A272 ( from S turn after obvious tank on lhs) and in grassy field, near to but not at obvious trig. Not accessible when Boomtown pop festival ongoing.Denise 15/12/2019
Short walk from the par park to the W. Levelish field of cultivated pasture with trig pillar. Wandered around but difficult to define a high point.RichardM15/12/2019

Short walk over grass from cp. Farmer clearly not keen on public access but his defences were insufficient to deter a determined hill bagger.Herbert Anchovy13/09/2018
Simple ascent from car park as others, little wander round. Nice views and 32 degC. Footwear sandals as after today's walks 2 and 3, shoes full of awns- the pedestrian equivalent of a hair shirt?pwheeler07/07/2018
