Easily accessible and highly visible. Just of footpath in open field. I parked in the gateway to the west where the path starts. Ground very wet today. Pillar in good condition. Some reasonably good views from the pillar.

Spoke to the farmer - told him what the pillar is. He promised to look after it and not plogh it up. Apparently, I was the first tripointer to ask permission. Good condition, good view to Pendle

Easy access just over a gate and by a public path. In the centre of an extremely muddy sheep pasture! Ashphalt plug replacement. West sight-hole open, others closed. Base exposed about 12" allround and the pillar is sitting in a huge pool of deep mud and slurry - approach with caution or your car will stink for the rest of the day! Lovely N/NE views, moderate S views.

Getting around the local trigs. In the middle of a very boggy field. Wellies required, or even waders. I do like the asphalt plug.

I wholeheartedly endorse earlier comments on the state of the field. After heavy rain there was standing water, and walking boots were not sufficient to keep my legs clean and dry! Trig in good condition.

Easy access from road. Extensive views - on a fine day. Pillar usually stood in a puddle. Pasture around prone to being waterlogged. Wellies advisable in damp weather.

Again cattle moated. This time it took nimble feet to get at the concrete. An old marker post near by. Concrete plug and cattle in the field.
