Via the sprawling Paddock workshop yard from Minor road on east side. Disappointed to find no gates from either fields into upper trig field, so had to gingerly get over a barbie... Large flock of sheep scattered en mass as I approached then viewed me from afar.

Looked at Llanigon side first, but too many houses.Went from East off B4350 near chevron bend signs. Disused gate, then further gates gave easy access.

This one has been nagging me for a few years now. I drive past on my way to Hay regularly and keep forgetting to pop up and see it.

Paid a return visit now the pipeline people have finished ,actually found better access from road junction to the NW ,then diagonally across fields to the pillar ..which has escaped destruction by about 30 ft. The pipeline is fenced off ,and already becoming harder to spot from a distance than it was only a couple of months ago.

The fenced off Pipeline is obvious just beyond the pillar.©Glaslyn

As Desperate Dans log,have been past twice in the last 3 weeks and been unable to see if the pipeline works have taken this one.Will go back in a couple of weeks and see if it has survived.

Drove past on minor road to south - could see that trig appeared to be directly on route of gas pipeline installation - no idea if it had survived the extensive excavations

Lost higher plans to the road conditions so picked this up as compensation. Approached from village of Llanigon and wouldnt recommend it. Overlooked and poor fences for crossing. Tig itself in nice location with great views of the Wye and the Beacons/Black mountains

Walked up from B4350. Really nice spot in somewhat boggy pasture, with excellent views of towards Brecon and the Beacons, and side of Black Mountains. White painted trig.

This one's all intact with the original plug. Quite a lot of paint remaining. The NW face hole is concreted but the NE/SW is see-through. There is some erosion to the base of the pillar and the concrete base is about 4" projecting from the earth. Great views to the west but somewhat restricted by trees in other directions especially south. The pillar isn't actually on the hill summit - that's a little way to the NE.
