Revisit for GPS and more detail.. Cap missing and showing a little cracking around the top with the Westerly sights open. Packed snow at Twilight - still looking good!

Parked just to the south-west in the layby and walked all of 50 yards to the pillar. Lovely views across the Firth. Fairly insipid pillar and concrete-caked viewpoint though. FB faces east, west and south holes are open, cap missing and hole open.

Good view of QE2 on her final visit to the river of her birth 41 years ago. A perfect day for this memorable event.

Too many teenagers spoiling the view! Came up to it through the cemetery and golf course.

Done this one in conjunction with a local cache, wintry showers blocked the views.
