Walked from Wickham up Hoads Hill, and crossed the road where there's a gate to the water tower. Climbed the gate and walked through, round the resevoir, and up towards some oak trees, where the trig point was found beside a fence. The walk up Hoads Hill isn't pleasant, and the road is busy, but there's no ditch / brambles / barbed wire to contend with.

Pulled over by gate on west side of Forest Lane near high point of road, opposite a house, partly overlooked. Looked like recent ground works carried out, surface of loose but hard packed tarmac. Headed west along track towards mast and reservoir. Walked along south side of reservoir boundary through field of tall grass and weeds. Checked on here after a while to learn pillar beside an oak tree on north side of the fence. Climbed under barbed wire fence, still took a bit of searching to locate. No views from pillar although nearby good views towards the south.

Followed route from minor road to east as described previously. Pillar can been seen from field edge but need to scramble under fencing if you want a better look.

Over the gate from Forest Lane, field edge to left under fence into the brambles! Pillar is in good condition under the shelter of an oak tree. No views. Highlight was watching a young kestrel dismember it's prey on the road.

Easily accessed from East, over gate, along field tractor lines, then through fence into the compound. Hidden under large oak tree by the edge of the reservoir boundary.

Noticed the gates open at the reservoir, walked in and asked worker if we could visit trig. He said he would be locking up in five minutes or so, just enough time to get over top of reservoir to other side by trees where trig was found.

Hop over the gate by the A32 and walk across the reservoir past the Solar panels with CCTV and night sights guarding them into a small bit of woodland round the back.

From A32, short walk across large covered reservoir. Trig is on N side of chain link fencing in light briar and bramble so still accessible (no secateurs so unable to cut anything back); original cap in place, indented lettering; LHD side sight hole sealed. Very limited views.

Also took the Bonhams approach and managed to squeeze through the bap between gatepost and fencepost and easy reservoir trig :-)

Easy access at this time of year accross stubble field. Rather noisy from motorway to be a site of rural solitude. On field boundary. Soil around here is amazingly flinty.

Parked up the lane near Bonhams and worked my way around the hedgerows. Trig just inside the resr fence which is not much of a challenge to get through/over!

Writing this in Aug 2018. Just dug out an old map and found notes on a few trigs I did in 1998. I remember this trip well, on NY Day as part of a resolution to do more trigging, I got up early and drove around a circuit of six North of Portsmouth. This was the last and I made no notes, but the map shows that I reached it OK.
