| Parked just south of track/footpath to west of summit. Followed track to mast area, field in crop carefully followed tractor to as close as could be discerned as high point. | N.Morters | 01/07/2023 |

| Here for the trigpoint but in the process visited field and mast! TP:UK log: Parked at start of footpath on the opposite side of the track to the trig. Just enough room for my wee hire car. Walked up rough mast track and stopped at 0m no obvious sign of trig but rough path up bank visible. Hoping I wouldn’t have to climb said muddy nettled and brambled bank I walked up to the mast and round into the field on the other side of the hedge. Access even worse that side as barbed wire fence to content with first. Back round to tother side and a climb up the bank required to hug the trig and get a photo of the flush bracket which faces into the field. There are some handy branches to grab onto and the missing spider and top of trig means you can also grab the centre pole hole for support. Survived but only just, getting off the bank was no easier! | thejackrustles | 12/06/2021 |
| Parked about 200m N. of RoW at SS 9636 1135 (partly on verge where road a bit wider) - Up road & SE along RoW to mast - Over double gates & used lines of tractor tracks to reach high point of arable field. Crop showing through. (S) | gerrybowes | 11/05/2021 |

| HP is in domed grassy field by aerial, accessed by gate. large pile of manure. Trig ( damaged) is most easily visible from this field and is within hedge. May be possible to drive up track and park; we parked in a road layby nearby. Overcast drizzly day. | Denise | 02/04/2018 |
| Track from lane up past trig pillar on hedge bank to gate into summit field, today churned up mud topped by large heap of manure awaiting the plough. | RichardM | 02/04/2018 |
| BINGWELL Hill falls within the Maquaco-line of Christ Cross to the south, making it CC a Dromedary Marilyn. A darkness hill up bridleway from NW by torch light to try and find trig then wander into the field of hill's crop of greenery for the HuMP summit. | vegibagger | 15/12/2017 |
