if you go through the westwold finishing farm you can pick up the field edge to within about 50 metres.
Walked in along track from east by wood to the field boundary, passing several pheasant nurseries. Then walked west along field boundary. Got to within 50M but did not spot suitable tramlines to access pillar.
Sticking about a foot above in a field of short stem wheat just about 3 metres in from one of the tractor tyre channels perhaps 100m or so from the northern field edge and trees. Relatively easy access despite crop via tyre track 'path' south to noth, then wesr, then south and just a short carefulmove into the trig and back. A fourth trig bonus on a Trig terrific Thursday evening.
In the centre of a partly grown crop field, so not accessible.
Just a week too soon for this one! Whilst most of the fields in the area had been harvested this one was still to do. It meant that it would have been an impossible task to plough my way through the wheat as there were no obvious routes to the pillar and thought it best not to antagonise the farmer for later trig point visitors. See photo!
(237) Asked at the house near the pig farm as the couple were busy hanging Christmas decorations. Told that the army lads quite often come up here looking for this trig. Walked across very snowy field to trig. FB & Spider intact, resin plug
Follow track by side of wood to east of field, then west on spraying tracks to TP
Plug replaced by tarmac, three sighting-holes open. Approached from footpath, along hedge and then a short distance into the next field. Not much view on a grey day.
Spoke to a nice lady who lives next to this field. Field full of oil seed rape but had just been sprayed so I could follow the tractor tracks. Park at the pig farm (stinks really bad) follow fence line north then east for easiest access. Wash hands thoroughly after!
Headed straight up to it from the south through a gap in the hedge. Tried to follow tractor lines but they were running east west unfortunately. Tarmac plug.
