| 3rd L Borough top of the day. The house at the top being rebuilt so the summit photo needs to change. | pclyndes | 31/05/2020 |
| 30 km cycle from Battersea | Rockdoctor | 16/05/2020 |
| 2nd tump after Batchworth Heath using series of fp's that run relatively directly from Batchworth Heath (sometimes coralled between houses) with large trees even growing in the middle. Walked to Res.gates and even checked land inside as reservoir could be covering highest natural ground. Climbing out was more difficult! Continuation to Bushey Heath... | Dazingdale | 19/01/2020 |
| Walked up to top as road closed | Bramley | 29/08/2019 |
| Travelcard Tump- Metro line train from Kingsbury to Northwood Hills, walk/ run up Potter St Hill, HP, gloomy fp then broad avenues to Northwood sta. I wonder if ever I ran up here with the Metros running club. I remember they took delight in the hills round here, and the way we made all the big houses' security lights (mandatory in Northwood?) come on, on evening runs. | pwheeler | 01/08/2019 |

| Jaunt around London to mop up a few hills. Walked up from Northwood Hills station (about 20 mins). Some money in them there hills that's for sure. | jedthehumanoid | 29/06/2019 |
| Last of the day on a 31mile cycle round from Watford in heat and sunshine. High point either on the private road or at reseroir gates, all easily accessible. | RichardM | 29/06/2019 |

| I drove to the top of Potter Hill Road where there was just enough room to turn around then had a walk about to bag the reservoir and the boundary marker. | Dugswell2 | 06/03/2017 |
| Drove down Sandy Lane from NW. By reservoir gates. Also visited the post. | PeterD | 27/11/2016 |
| A pleasant mile uphill from Northwood Hills station. So refreshing to have to walk up hill to a top in London. The presence of the City of London Coal Duty post near the top was an added bonus. I felt the top was by the gate of the reservoir. | Sixtyplus | 10/11/2016 |

| Old marker post is probably where the boundaries of Hertfordshire and London boroughs of Hillingdon and Harrow meet, and if so is Hillingdon's highest point. However Tump summit is 50-100m to N, on private road (open to walkers), alongside covered reservoir - summit is flat and much of the ground is manmade. | AlanD | 26/05/2016 |
