As others parked at SO 58407 53938- very muddy verge and had a bit of trouble driving out. Initially walked up to bridleway which heads NE from the radio mast. Went back to car and over gate opposite to find trig point in the field N of the tower. Very quick. | Droplet7494 | 09/04/2024 |

Solo. From side of road SO 58407 53938. | masmith | 27/10/2023 |
I don't like driving sown narrow lanes, so I parked at Bredenbury Church for free. 6 miles there and back walk with a complete circuit of Grendon Court, where some bad route marking caused delays. Other paths overgrown. Can't get to summit where there is a radio tower. Trig point also inaccessible with wire fence and danger warning. | gbeniston | 02/08/2023 |

underhill says 'hop gate' - he is clearly young and/or athletic. I found it quite tricky especially on the return | paulhilder | 24/08/2021 |
Very non eventful - parked outside the Orance PCS phone tower, walked around and thats it. Views pretty good but otherwise pull up, 10 minute walk and off again. | jamiequackers | 18/07/2021 |

Parked in Pencombe for 7km loop up via Bridleway and farm and then back on very quiet road . Good views to Titterstone Clee and great views of Malverns with sunrise on route up and down . Journey more interesting than destination. | D SID | 31/01/2019 |
