| Pootle up on the bike, cycled around the reservoir and no obvious access point without scaling the fence. | Nicky C | 17/04/2020 |
| Access to the site can be gained from Woodthorpe Rd, but agree reservoir gates on B684 most likely as naturally high as anywhere within the compound. | jonglew | 11/02/2020 |
| Parked near summit in Woodthorpe Road. | David Evans | 11/01/2020 |

| As Nordicstar. House still empty but gate is opposite a car repair place so a bit brazen. | clivevilla | 10/04/2018 |

| Top of reservoir unobtainable, and it felt like the highest ground otherwise was near the start of Woodthorpe Road or even across the other side of the B684 opposite it. | Wheelsy | 07/03/2017 |
| I walked along the road looking at the very top through the fence. | Alancache | 21/10/2016 |

| Passing through Nottingham took me close to this. Walked around, took photos of the gates, that's about it... | Aye Jimmy | 20/05/2015 |

| Wet day, so had a bus ride around Nottingham. Good chance to bag a couple of locals. Have passed this location many times over the years. | Richard Gunn | 08/11/2013 |
| Definitely well guarded and fence mainly overgrown with laurel. | destaylor | 20/09/2013 |

| I was going to bag this one today on the way to the new bouldering centre in Nottingham but after a close inspection of the map, I am going to claim the hill on the basis that I have driven and walked as close as you can get to the top many times before when I lived in Nottingham in the late 90's early 2000s. A good friend lived close by in Carlton. | RichieRambler | 20/12/2012 |

| Probably been here a few times before about 40 years ago as a school friend lived close by. However this is the first visit since started Unitary top bagging - tops like this make me wonder why I bother. | Hillsidenick | 28/10/2012 |
| Jacqdaw | 28/10/2012 | |
| Walked all round | Bramley | 05/10/2012 |

| Intersting spot. Side road by house, Woodthorpe road, has lowish gate that can be climbed, house now empty. Allowed bag of top of reservoir! Hardly a triumph... | nordicstar | 01/08/2012 |
| I actually quite enjoyed this - I'm going to agree with R. Mackey and claim the Bread and Bitter as the top! A nice city stroll, and some definite ascent, if you walk up from the bus station like I did! | DanHolme | 20/08/2011 |

| Visited all possible gates to this well guarded reservoir compound. | Dugswell2 | 30/01/2011 |
| This is a pretty boring top, one that you can't reach truly thanks to a big fence. However it was close by so i drove up to it - job done, back to more interesting things now... | Cap_Thunderbolt | 26/01/2011 |

| Ample parking on the side street opposite the gates. Dull top. | The Team | 05/04/2009 |

| I claim the top to be the Bread and Bitter pub by the war memorial - much nicer than the reservoir. | Richard | 08/06/2008 |
| Took high point by reservoir gate.Nice curio shop opposite | electricratman | 02/06/2008 |
