Great views towards Lad Law, Pendle Hill, a distant Ingleborough and Pen-Y-Ghent, Fountains Fell, Rye loaf Hill, Kirkby Fell, Buckden Pike, Great Whernside, Sharp Haw, Rough Haw, Cracoe Fell, Thorpe Fell Top, Skipton, Skipton Moor, Ilkley Moor, and Airedale. Freezing cold wind at the summit, great hike. You can follow a detailed blog of this walk by tapping Fell Finder into Google.

Just a few hundred yards off what is locally known as the Skipton Old Road across Elslack Moor - the original direct ten mile route linking Skipton in Yorkshire with Colne in Lancashire. Trig is on the site of a Napoleonic alarm beacon. Robert Wilson, a beacon keeper, died a few dozen yards away, having succumbed to severe winter weather in 1805. His grave here was/is marked but he was subsequently disinterred and re-buried in Elslack churchyard.

Visited to record FB number. The pillar was completed 14th April 1948 costing £19.12s.11d. Later in 1948 this marker was computed for triangulation as secondary station SD96/8 the the Skipton block. Flush bracket S4451 was levelled for height in 1962. This marker was last maintained by the OS in May 1976. OS archive has S4457. I had this one on my lists as Pinhaw Beacon for the many years before the OS official names became available through the public domain. Heather clad top.
