TP1664 - Brocton Field
Logged Visits:
Beautiful view from here. Found whilst geocaching.
Found on a lovely morning
No damage but would benefit from a lick of paint.
Easy find but lane very slippy
Trig right next to carpark and glacial boulder. Sparse trees around; not to hard to find! (Mind you I did have help :P)
2nd of 3 on an evening bike ride on the Chase.
1st of 2 on a wee walk on cannock chase
Easy to find. Short walk from Glacier Bolder Car Park
found this whilst out caching in the area
Visited it while caching on the chase with Roddders09. Nice views from here.
Ninth and last pillar of day on a circular half day's cycle tour from Rugeley. Stony and difficult path from the east across the Chase from The Butts.
Pleasant spot.
Visited whilst on a geocaching circular walk around the Chase. Nice views from the trig, which is in good condition. Interesting boulder nearby too.
Used to love not far from the Chase but don't ever remember coming to this trig. Visited with the family on a lovely if somewhat windy day.
A lovely day out on Cannock Chase, trig a very quick find, a few feet away from the road / parking place. Plug replaced with an asphalt bung. Good but hazy views all around.
Nice day for a walk on the Chase.
Struggled across the chase from Regents Wood on bike map reading and staying on bike difficult.But worth it ,nice spot and hear my first cuckoo of the year,this call always brings a smile to my face ,off to The Butts.
Found as Geocache Ye Ole Survey Monuments YSM420 on 26/03/2011
Located a few meters from the road on Channock Chase . nice location
Walked from Severn Springs car park via The Butts – nice walk back though Brocton Woods
Caching on the chase YSM420
Condition seems good though could do with repainting. Visited on a frosty morning and visited the geocache nearby too.
Ive driven past this one hundreds of times in the past as I lived 5 miles down the road for over 20 years and spent many many happy hours wandering across the Chase. Its GREAT to be back in the area and getting a few of the trigs logged :)
...27 minute walk across Sherbrook Valley to Brocton Field and the glacial erratic boulder from The Butts. Last of six trigs for the day and a good day it has been. Stopped raining as I arrived at first and started to rain again as I arrived back at the car. I thought I'd better walk to at least one trig point during the circuit. AEH39 you have some catching up to do!!! Pity about the wilful damage to the info plates on the boulder - chavs!
First in the new challenge - bring it on!
Straightforward.
Walking from Glacial Boulder carpark to Cannock Chase visitor centre.
Walked from Milford on circular walk taking in Bednall and Acton Trussell. Turning very wet on my return. Glacial boulder nearby.
Did not realise what the nearby boulder was till I read Keiths log. Someone has nicked the brass off the top of it. Must be the credit crunch. My first visit to the Chase. Bagged this one and then and the other one to the east and did some caching too. Cold day with light snow showers but much better than being inside.
easy from the car park.
Ive been meaning to log this one for a while. An easy spot, near to the boulder.
Could do with painting! Found during caching trip
I was part way through caching, waiting for some muggles to disappear and was staring at this white pillar for some minutes when I finally twigged what it was.
Nice view over Sherbrook Valley.
found while out caching
All in order, decent views
found while on a multi-cache
Great site, busy around the area today.
Found this one on a caching session in the chase. lovely day, excellent weather. We had to wait a while with taking a photo of the Trig, though, as a mob of hikers had decided to rest on and around it. Deadeye & Shrimphead
lhave been past it before loads of times,this time l officially recorded it cheers
Within the Cannock Chase country park, near a glacial boulder display. Stone plug. OK condition. Public (It was very clever of the glacier to leave the boulder perched up like that!) But if the original number was S1975, then what of Hillend in Square SO, which has that number??
Pleasant walk around the chase with the pillar halfway round,nice views v popular place .
Did this as we searhed for a cache nearby.
Spotted from a long way off by the kids with binnos. Nice and easy for my first
The last pillar for the day - still got two caches to find and by now it was raining. This pillar is by the glacial boulder and its carpark. Quite white painted. Asphalt plug replacement. N sighthole open, others closed. Concrete base exposed by up to 12" all round. Good views from here over the Chase as I know from earlier visits but today it was very murky.
Walked from Seven Springs to find this one. To date, this is my only trig point with a 5 digit number. Good views over the Chase.
On my mountain bike after a days consultancy with the local council
Near the glacial boulder, a popular spot on Cannock Chase.
Did after doing Chase Memorial cache (GC1D38)
Close to the car park by the Glacial bolder. left car here and walked to the nearby the Butts........... revisit 02/04/05 for nearby cache
vgc; resin plug
Middle of the Chase, near an glacial erratic. Looking a bit battered, has a rather high number for these parts. Easy access, a drive up. I wonder if the high number signifies that this pillar was a replacement for The Butts, across the valley, as this point was over planted with conifers. This is not the case.. The pillar here is a rebuild.. The original pillar's number was 1975 - been looking for 1975 near Stafford :-) )
Originally S1975 according to OS.
known as the glacial boulder to staffordshire way walkers |
