I like these where (unofficially in this case) you can cycle all the way (up access road to comms tower). Wonderful views. Good meal back at cafe in Minions.

A miserable day with no views at all today. Got soaked on the way back through all the ferns. Lovely industrial ruins nearby.

View towards the trigpoint not great with all the transmitters, etc but the view away as you climb up is fantastic! What more can we say, great.

Lovely sunny day with clear views all round. As previous reports have indicated, work is going on at the mast site, but pillar is just outside the fenced off area.

Visted on A to B walk from Golberdon to St Neot. Came up from Tokenbury Corner. Fine walking. Some work going on around summit area but trig was not fenced off.

Drove to within ½ mile of Trigpoint. Building work in progress around the mast and building. Trigpoint outside the work site. Lovely view over BodminMoor & DartMoor. Had to run back to the car as a blizzard arrived, it was a 'white out', lasted about 10 minutes.

Good views of Kilmar Tor.Impressive mast half hidden in the cloud.Drove up to within 50ft of pillar ,they are doing building work but the pillar is outside the fencing so should survive.

vgc, metal cap, wide raised very neat letters. BSM style FB. Just outside fenced area: work ongoing (although not today). Low drizzly cloud: tarmac road, drove up, quick dash.

Was so disappointed, the fog closed in and could not see the top of the transmitter mast or the views, will have to visit again.
