Accessible by a short walk through a field off Chevet Lane
On the side of the hill ridge. Jumped two fences from the road (quickly). A day cycling so easily parked bike in the wooded verge.
The big field to the south has MILLIONS of sprouts! Wonder of they\'ll still be there after Christmas?
followed edge of golf range then field edge tothe pillar nothing to get excited about
Parked same as Rhayader_wanderer, half on wide pavement. Quick trot up the hill.
Good views all round.
From South on road to west of trig, parked just b4 LH bend. Through trees over 2 fences(bit dodgy)and field. Trig slightly to right just below skyline.( Not easy to see from far in the dark )
We parked at the golf centre and followed the footpath up onto the ridge and then headed west to the trig. Tarmac plug.
Direct climb up from NE with car parked on straight bit of road half on the verge. The two barbed wire fences were a challange as my normal style of jumping would havbe exualled a new sprain. again reasonable but not stunning view
Started initially from Sandal & Agbrigg Railway Station following the road to reach Common Lane(OS Map Exp 278) Approached fairly directly from the road through the 'bush' - trees, nettles, brambles etc a little west of where the map says 'Elms' which was a bit of a struggle, once through it was easy enough to reach the trig, the barbed wire fence is wide enough to squeeze through for the average trigger. However, further travels reveal that at the junction of Common Lane & Chevet Lane (same map) there is open access and just tramp diagonally to the left heading up the hill to reach the fence and trig (don't know where you'd park).
vgc, mortar plug, S edge of steep meadow, decent view
Walked up narrow, wet and overgrown footpath to east then along sticky edge of field; still raining 8-(
18/42 for the day. Yes, barbed wire but that's never stopped me before!!
Walked up from the nearby crossroads. Nasty barbed wire fences.
Couldn't get closer than 450 feet away, and not sure if there's a footpath to it or not. I may go back for another go but it was getting dark so took a couple of photos at long range and left for home.
Yes it's there on the hillside clearly visible on the left on the lane from Walton to Newmillerdam. Could not approach to log OS number as on private land, fenced off with no public rights of way to get there etc |
