Roadside layby is very convenient, but an absolute bugger to leave if you're heading west. The footpath at the east end is fast becoming invisible, but it *is* there, under the nettles, behind the unlocked gate and alongside the trailer. It quickly leads up the side of a steep and rather grotty hill, before disappearing into the wood. You wouldn't stumble upon this path by accident - it's narrow and concealed, but there are plenty of footpath signs along the way just to reassure you that yes, this is a path, honest. Eventually emerges onto a grassy track, from which a path through the wood leads to the clearing with the logs and the mast compound. Pillar is behind an (easily scaled) barbed wire fence, and sits on a bramble-covered mound. It's not the most pleasant of locations, and it offers no views.

Parked in a layby on the Worcester road, followed the footpath, up a steep track, through some woods and it's around the back of a clearing with some logs and a mast

Bagged with CherryBubb. Parked by the church at Westhide and took the path up through Westhide Court farm. Did a couple of Geocaches on the way down. No views from trig.

With coinea. Parked in lay-by near SO 59694 43129 and walked down to public footpath which we followed all the way to the trigpoint. CBM on house at the start. Trig in a very overgrown area inside a fallen down fenced compound so easy enough to get to other than the vegetation.

Handy to be able to cycle it right up here. Views quite poor, but still pleasant enough to take an hour out of your day to come and visit here.

Made a bit of mess with this one. Parked near old school on what must have been the old road. I think we could have at this point taken the gate leading to the bridleway path and cut across to the other footpath at the old cars. But we went along the main road to find the same path from the other direction. Thankfully the trig is easy to get too.

Centre Missing concrete plug. Walked up from the A4103, parked in a lay by opposite the entrance to Garford Farm, followed foot path into the field, past the scrap cars and piles of rubbish [countryside safe in our hands] took a faint path diagonally right up to a stile, then a good path up to the wooded summit, pillar between the Comm's masts

Parked on a minor road at Lower Cotts off the A4103. Walked NW along a greatly widened and enhanced public row that is now capable of taking very large vehicles (to service the apple orchard?). Footpath then takes a U-turn proceeding up the hill through Rough Plantation onto White Hill (a HuMP). Paths a little misleading here but not too difficult to find the trig in a fenced off area on the reservoir hump and next to a comms mast. Views to the north are quite extensive, but woodland blocks any other direction. Pillar is in good condition. We returned to the car by taking the public path due east directly down the hill.

We parked in a layby on the A4103 and took the track that leads to the disused quarry. When you eventually leave the wooded section there is a track that heads straight to the masts. Nice spot, but I think I'd sooner have open meadow than small trees. Tarmac plug.

Some large lichen clusters in the trig that now has a coupel of telco masts for company. Initial access is not very visible and the stile into the wood is further than you might think. Woodland path up looks to be covered in bulbs either snowdrops or more likely bluebells

The young trees are growing well! Quite a hike to this one and I nearly got lost coming at it from the most difficult way! However, the plug has a concrete replacement, otherwise the pillar is in good shape with traces still of white paint. The west-facing base has eroded somewhat. Good views to the north and east but the mobile-phone masts don't exactly help the ambience of the place!

I got terribly lost getting here and was diappointed to find this summit the victim of mobile phone technology. The top field is chiefly planted now (with trees) but it was sunny and the views to the north were good, so I sat a while and enjoyed that.
