Easy stroll up from Yarnbury.Good location
Short walk off lane to trig
The first of three trigs on a ten mile circular walk from and back to Yarnbury, above Grassington. This first one is just ten mimutes into the walk. Trig in good condition and has some cord attached to the lugs. Deeply indented lettering on the original plug. Not far away is the famous Yarnbury leadmining area - well worth exploring.
Original cap. Some damage to the top. Orange string tripod still in place.
Good views to the South - but weather against us
Decent walk up Moor Lane from Grassington on a cool, cloudy morning. Lead mines on Moor Lane are worth a quick visit.
Still has string on top
Parked at Yarnbury and tried to access from the track to the W, BIG wall so came back and went further up Old Moor Lane and went through gate onto moorland. Throwing it down with rain, sandals, shorts - what can I say. Bagged it and got the hell back to the car!!
Short walk from parking for Leadmines. Views mor like north pennines than limestone country!
Parked at yarnbury walked up track then over the wall. trig in vgc original plug shallow engraving cord is attached to 3 lugs good views of area
Great day for it. Ten minute walk from Yarnbury to the south and over the wall. The string is still there.
We walked from Kilnsey, through Conistone Dib and up to the trig point. The weather was fair for the time of year and we had a nice day out.
Walked up from Grassington along the lane, finding a convenient place to cross the wall just south west of the trig. If approaching from the north west there is a handy gate giving access to the moor. Trig is in good condition, amid lots of grouse moor, concrete base, plug intact, some string attached to spider. Now on to Conistone Moor.
Nice spot up fromYarnbury.Trig now has some orange string tied to it!
Visited on way round The Fellsman
Bagged on a circular route from Hebden to Yarnbury to Grassington with the wife and boys. Easter Sunday to the obligatory Easter Egg hunt!
Up the lane from Grassington. Had a look round the lead mines. When I arrived it was being used as a bird feeder, and at least 50 grouse got up as I approached, setting off in all directions. So where are the hawks and other birds of prey? With all that free bounty on offer? I suspect that they’ve all learned a hard lesson at the hands of the gamekeepers.
Reasonable views around. The lead mines trail with all it's associated chimney flume tunnels and info boards is well worth a few hours.
Trig has got its hat on!!!!!!! Walked from Conistone to Grassington ,Very cool wind Spring is just a round the corner.
Lots of snow, great walk up from Grassington.
Bagged on a round trip from Grassington to Bare House and back via Yarnbury, Edge Lane & High Lane. Lots of really deep snow en-route for the boys to enjoy.
Needed to climb a gate to gain access. Used track from Yarnbury from which pillar is visible. The more adventurous could climb a wire topped wall but I chose to walk past for about 250 yards to locked gate which was far easier to climb and then back tracked to pillar. Similar route back. Pillar stands among the heather and affords some wonderful views across Wharfedale. Although low cloud and a really heavy drizzle left it to the imagination today.
Trig in good condition, Very cool day.
Parked at end of tarred road. Heather clad moorland. Sign says beware of old mine shafts. Great views including old mine buildings and chimney. Retains plug.
An after the event logging from a visit prior to finding this site.
Good views - encountered on a circilar walk from Grassington
Poor view today with pretty dense mist. Easy enough hike up Moor Lane from Grassington. I followed the path from Yarbury going NE and climbed the wall but alternatively a little way after Moor Lane becomes the track that is Old Moor Lane a gate on the left gives easy enough access, then veer SW across the open moor. Was going to press on & visit the trig on Meugher but the mist got down to 50ft visibility as I passed the old Grassington lead mines and being unfamiliar with the area thought better of it and headed back to Grassington to eventually visit the Kilnsey Moor trig. Score is irrelevant today.
Found this trig en route to Mossdale Scar from Yarnbury. Lots of snow and bitterly cold but a grand walk and splendid views.
Logged this while walking the Inn Way to the Yorkshire Dales
vgc except top screed 1/3 gone, metal cap deep letters, twine fixed to top loops, heather moor
Slight flaking at top otherwise OK. Situated unobtrusively on the edge of Grassington Moor above Yarnbury. A direct approach requires wall-climbing; can avoid this by using the gate NW along the track.
old log
Plug with indented lettering.
Parked car near some old mine workings on dead-end road out of Grassington, then followed track. Final approach involved climbing high wall. Pillar in heather moor. |
