Obviously the picture of the snow capped mountain is not of Turners Hill, but the others are exactly as i remember the hill & I can also remember the large concrete based mast originally built for Euromast being constructed.

The walk to the hill itself is pleasant and in good weather will provide some lovely views. That said, the summit is off-limits as there's a radio station at the top with locked gates securing the compound. It's the kind of hill that you visit once to say that you've done it, and then never return to.
