First trig point of a long day. With the geocaching site down because of a fire in the building which houses the server it was an opportunity to concentrate on trigpointing once again. Drove virtually up to the trig point along the lane.

Only difficulty getting to this one from TP2976 was a puncture I picked up somewhere near South Fawley. Found some strange winch/clamp thing (similar to those used on vehicle recovery trucks) abandoned on top of the trig. The only problem getting back to my car (at White Horse Hill car park) was a second puncture. Whilst I was prepared for the first, the second one left me up the proverbial creek sans paddle. I wandered into Fawley to phone my housemate and let her know I'd be late back, abandoned my bike by the hedge and then had to walk the remaining 13km back to the White Horse Hill car park, with only the moon to light the way.

Good Views. It was a foggy day on the roads - but quite clear up on the downs.

After terrible cycle from Letcombe (Ridgeway tracks this time of year are wet and muddy, still) good to get to this place with a lovely view across to the back of The White Horse (Uffington). Of course the local village, Fawley, was used by Thomas Hardy in Jude the Obscure, Jude Fawley, as a farm worker who wanted to study at Oxford. As the naff will have it, pretty village.

Lovely views especially to the south. Very easy to find at the end of a lane leading up from Fawley village. Very pleasant spot for a walk. Pillar is in good condition, spider intact but has plastic plug.

Plain pillar by track (off right-angled bend in minor road west of Fawley) along side of ploughed field which served as a good spot for a picnic.
