TP2759 - Delph Farm
Logged Visits:
As stated.next to road.Pendlehill was just too early for "Red Arrows" air display in valley for Cononley Gala.Panoramic views.
next to road a few yds from farm buildings. no gates near road ask at farm
parked roadside, pillar in field so did a quick trespass over the wall to get to it , views not great due to poor weather , pillar in good condition
Easy find adjacent to road.
Went through gate near cattery after asking permission,no problems. Could have climbed wall but looked unstable and would probably be seen
Photographed this one from the roadside. I couldn't be bothered trying to climb over the tricky and probably unstable wall and a bit too close to the cattery/stables. Trig has obviously been painted in the not too distant past.
LOOKED AT PILLER FROM ROADSIDE.
vgc, metal cap, shallow letters. Revisited for a closer look. Some attentive sheep, otherwise all quiet.
Jumped over low wall for quick trip Easy access if you don`t get caught
Asked nice lady at cattery ,acsess through gate.Trig in vgc original plug painted white but now fading.
Nice sunny evening walk from Crosshills. Jumped wall but luckily no one around. In full view of farm.
Easily accessible from road, if you're prepared to jump over the wall
About to hop over wall when farmer drove past so chickened out
Lovely cool and dark evening - jumped over the wall (naughty but I was very careful) and ran.
Pillar easily visible from road but would have needed a seeable wall climb to access it. I therefore went to the cattery and asked permission which was readily given - although the young lady gave me quite a funny look when I explained my reason (are we that strange?). So all that was needed was access through two gates through a paddock with inquisitive horses and out into the field with the pillar. Pillar in good condition retaining quite a bit of faded white paint. A good view point. Original plug with indented lettering.
No need to climb wall - go in cattery track to E, over gate, across field, and over another gate to get into the right field. Painted white.
Lovely day, out on MTB. Asked @ farm - no problem, saves aggro. Looks like some wall jumper has collapsed part of wall adjacent to road.
no 2 today. Did not want to tackle two frisky horses.
Doing the rounds of the local trigs. Farmer was out and about so stayed away.
For wall jumpers, tresspassers and sad trig baggers (oops, that includes ME!). Sat in a small field directly adjacent the farm. Look at John's log first then consider going east along the road for about 100 yards to find a spot that's the field corner and where the wall is lower and easier to climb over - a quick dash to the trig will hopefully go unnoticed. First visited around the same time last year, weather much better today with a good view to the west. Revisited 25/02/2007.
vgc, just inside pasture nr farmhse, FB facing road & just readable with binocs; pleasant views
A bit trespassy. Pillar has been painted white recently. Plug with indented lettering.
This is a nice trig and is easily seen from the road but the wall is high and tricky. I got over at the junction of the road and the track to Smoulden Farm where there are some steps. I don't know if it matters but this is just inside West Yorkshire.
41/42 for the day. Just the other side of the wall to the road.
slightly private- waited for a foggy day before i jumped the wall!
Bagged in near-darkness. Bonus FB (no trig) OSBM 985 at Farnhill bridge on the Leeds and Liverpool canal.
Views all round spoilt by powerlines.
just inside pasture nr farmhse; pleasant views
Visited to record FB number. The pillar was completed 23rd March 1949 costing £13.14s.10d. In 1951 this marker was computed for triangulation as tertiary station SD96/T9 in the Skipton secondary block. Flush bracket S5306 was levelled for height in 1962. This trig point was last maintained by the OS in July 1986. Climbed a wall to bag this one. My first ever trig in Grid Square SE. |
