| From Woolland church, via minor roads, including whole triangle. Misty and drizzly. My 300th English Hump. | IanHHill | 17/02/2024 |
| Verge parking to east. Sign says CCTV but none seen. No need to enter aerial enclosures. World war 2 buildings. Ground both disturbed and generally level , so unsatisfactory as far as identifying the HP. Probably in copse, we thought , not in sheep pasture near fence as marked. Also visited trig, accessible through copse by wire fence, between aerials, lower. | Denise | 05/08/2023 |
| From mast collected trig pillar enroute. | cjo | 24/07/2023 |
| Trig and summit surrounded by a triangle of roads. Parked at junction to NW, entered fields by gate to mast. | Minto | 05/07/2023 |
| Very poor summit area, accessed from mast track as others. With so much man-made ground, the top of the public road could count as the HP. Trig pt definitely not the HP. We walked on lanes from the Woodland Hill viewpoint- a much better place. Sunny, getting hot. | pwheeler | 04/06/2023 |
| Parked by mast to SE, but walked around to cuckoo lane gate to go to trig first, man made HP in copse, another smaller mound by the smaller mast and by fence. Back to road on track. | PeterD | 04/05/2023 |
| From parking on road just to E. 2nd Hump of 6 for the day on a drive from London. | Mark Jackson | 05/11/2022 |
| After Bell Hill mostly on tarmac. Took a while to find the way in and rode up to the trig. Had a wander round the copse and then a flying descent to The Fox, Anstey for a very high quality pint | fasgadh | 01/09/2022 |
| With Luke | Jbratt95 | 21/08/2021 |
| Parked in gateway to masts 779055, over gate, quick in and out | CreakingHiker | 24/06/2021 |
| With CreakingHiker. | tim747 | 24/06/2021 |
| Rough parking area to NE at ST 7830 0590 - SW along road to gate at 780056, over gate & W. along vehicle track to the E. perimeter of copse by smaller mast; the mast is sited next to a green metal shed. Also went through gate into compound & visited the man-made earth mound next to mast. (S) | gerrybowes | 12/05/2021 |
| Parked at entrance to masts. Short walk over to HP in a small copse. | fosal29 | 10/11/2019 |
| 06.30 circuitous route all along south road of the triangle then in to the trig via entrance off west road, then on to the HuMP summit | vegibagger | 24/08/2019 |
| More trouble navigating the lanes than finding the summit and trig. | Eddie | 11/07/2019 |
| Unremarkable, for sure, but easy won. Note the site is bounded by triangle of roads. Park at north west point, walk down Cuckcoo Lane and enter at west side of site. Pass to north of transmitter and head for copse, the hillock within is your quarry. | Pete West | 20/02/2019 |
| W Bryher and Jenx from parking by East mast. Good tracks, lines to follow. | nordicstar | 15/05/2018 |
| With K from gate by transmitter to west as others have described. | Ashley | 14/11/2017 |
| From layby, up road then into field. Somebody with mast in layby, presumably SOTA or nearly SOTA. | rhalstead | 03/09/2016 |
| Parked at the large parking area, at ST 78289 05897. Accessed from gates on Cuckoo Lane, by the mast. | Sprog | 05/08/2016 |
| Road goes over summit - fantastic views. | bellminsterboy | 28/10/2015 |

| Walked up to masts then check out mound in copse and then trig with Alex. | Dugswell2 | 27/03/2015 |

| An easy trespass from 779055. | Chris Peart | 01/01/2013 |
| Parked close by at the Woolland Nature Reserve car park, walked across to Lyscombe Hill first and took in Bulbarrow on the return. A short trespass across farmland was needed to access the summit with its trig point. | jonglew | 04/06/2012 |
| From mast. Trig was obscured by bales! | chrisbien | 22/05/2012 |

| Easy parking. Stroll. | destaylor | 04/08/2011 |

| Climbed on way to Isle of Wight. | Man of Kernow1 | 30/04/2010 |
| Field gates either side of the transmitter approach track to the west provide straight forward routes to trig which may be obscured by bales. | Smudge | 31/10/2009 |
| Wonderful. | mae | 09/02/2008 |
| Revsit. Weedy field next to arable & behind MoD mast. | RHW | 26/09/2005 |
| Sub-marilyn bagging in the dark, Should have been doing the KIMM as usual but had been forced to pull out with an injured foot - still mending , but OK for walking. IOW next day. | Chris Pearson | 28/10/2002 |
| rather ordinary summit, wide view. minor rd adjacent to W | RHW | 30/06/2001 |
| Parked just below summit and walked down along the Wessex Ridgeway to just before Crockers farm. Ascended by same route and entered field with trig from Radio Mast access track. | garyhoney | 27/05/2000 |
| Can not find date but it was in 1999. From the car parking viewpoint to the north we found a way into the triangle containing the top. | ChinnockC | 01/04/1999 |
| Masts and fields on flat top. Views all round. | arranc | 25/10/1998 |
