About a mile south of Blisworth, pulled in to Hill Farm , light industrial units and cafe area. Walked back north along road for about eighty metres, could see raised hill woods on west side of road, over a low section of barbed wire fence, saw ventilation shaft for the canal tunnel and the pillar nearby. Cap plugged. No views, removed some ivy.

(3659) Parked at the entrance to the business park and walked back roadside until level with the pillar. A low-ish barbed wire fence to clear and you are in. Pillar in reasonable condition, though missing its centre cap. The nearby tunnel vent added something a bit different to the proceedings. Pillar history: Built on the 19th of January 1953, at a cost of £14 6s 10d. Last maintained by the OS in November of 1988.

Quick stop off en route to a family visit in Northampton. Easy access from CP by solicitors. Trig is in reasonable condition - all s/holes buried in leaf litter, asphalt cap but structurally sound. Nearby air shaft is interesting, although I wonder if the roots of the immediately adjacent tree have penetrated the canal tunnel yet!

Easy to access from carpark by solicitor. No views and rather dark and dank place. The Air shaft built in 1925 is about the only thing that makes this trig interesting.

From memory I think we struggled to find a quick and easy way over the wall/fence to this, well I did! But it didn't take too long and is a relatively easy bag next to the tower.

Mossy and crumbling edges is all I can say here. Finally after 9 years I come back and find what was there all along. Comparing my photos from my last unsuccessful visit (which I didn't actually log on here) I can see now why i missed it. The dense undegrowth that completely hid the trig in 2003 is all gone. Probably due to acid rain, global warming, or more likely, the current drought! Now the change of condition: Looking at the photos of others and seeing the moss eating away at the flaking crumbling edges, I reckon we should now class this one as slightly damaged. Its been going that way over the last few years and its just a matter of when we actually pin the changeover down. Its a bit arbitrary I know but i think there are other trigs in the same state that are classed as slightly damaged so I'm voting for this one to go the same way.

Very interesting spot with the interesting canal tunnel shaft nearby. Seen a few of these dotted around but this is the closest we've got to one. Took some photos at the trig. Access not too bad - once you find a gap in the hedgerow then it's all clear on the other side, and you can't really miss the trig. Good 'un :)

We parked at the side of the road and I hopped over the barbed wire fence. This bit of woodland almost seems to be like no-mans land. The tunnel air shaft is quite interesting. The trig is quite green with algal growth. Tarmac plug.

Hard to access this, as to the north there is an on-going business park development which has a high fence blocking off the trees and to the south is a stud-farm which has equally high fences and CCTV's. Found the hole in the hedge used by a previous logger and got there that way! In deep woodland adjacent to one of the Blissworth canal tunnel ventilation shafts.
