Alan Dawson: The worst example of trashing a big hill that I can recall. The new track from Dunmaglass is horrendous: it's wide enough for two lorries to pass, so deep that you can't see over the sides, and the ugly grey spoil heaps are scattered wantonly far and wide, with little prospect of revegetation at such a height. The vast scar goes all the way up to 800m. Maybe it's not the most scenic of hills, but it's a superb viewpoint and it didn't deserve this. Far from saving the planet, the wind farm planned for this plateau is blatantly destroying it, before a blade has turned. Subsidised vandalism on a gigantic scale.

Vernon Miles: The summit is covered in radar installations; I found at least three looming out of the mist. And just below the summit are a lot of old abandoned quarries and mine workings. Unsightly, but interesting all the same.
Iain Brown: The highest point on the Isle of Wight needs tidying up and the redundant wartime fences removing. However, the hole in the fence does allow you to crawl through and find the highest point.
John Morris: After nipping into the restricted compound through the open gate, the top is either the lamp-post at the junction to the SE of the building or the brick incinerator, or possibly the base of the wind tower. Take your pick.
