TP5161 - North Hill
Logged Visits:
Covered by branch at time of visit.
Another hedge dweller. Only views across Bristol, OK if you like urban sprawl.
Revisit on 18 May 2013
Half-mile walk along track from road to Dundry. Trig is on north side of fence and tree-y hedge near SE corner of field. Pillar daubed with blue and red paint and - oddly - foil but otherwise in decent condition; concrete plug; FB faces E; N & W sightholes open, others plugged. Position logged from GPS device accurate to ±5m.
Unspectacular site but excellent views over Bristol
Parked at the end of the lane to the west and walked the 800m to the trig. As mentioned it's the other side of the hedge from the path, but can be easily accessed from the field to the north. Fabulous views over Bristol and beyond to Wales, with Purdown, Clifton suspension bridge, the first(?) Severn bridge and the Wills building all clear, and views to the hills in south Wales. This was my first bag since moving to Bristol, and my first with my iPhone, which promptly ran out of battery so no pics!
Good views, but T.P. stuck in a hedge
Positioned on the side of Dundry Down the view north is over Bristol including the Clifton and Severn Bridges towards Wales and the Forest of Dean.
follow unmade lane/tractor tracks to field where these end. pillar below hedge with views over south bristol.
Parked just off Broadoak Hill, walked along the track pass a house, through a gate and over two stiles, after the 2nd stile transfer off the main track inside the next field N keep walking E, the trig lies in the hedge 20m from the stile. Someone has coloured the fb yellow!
interesting FB number, very very muddy approach.
Walk in on ROW.Excellent views.Orange Flush.5 numbers.No S.
This one took some finding as it's nestling behind bushes and isn't that obvious from the path. Set on a concrete plinth and painted white. The flush bracket is painted yellow - makes a change from the blue one we found at Twerton Hill. Lovely views over Bristol. Bizarrely, even though we were in the middle of the countryside, we could still hear an ice cream van from Withywood below playing "The Teddy Bears Picnic". Concrete plug.
Same route as last caller and the mudbath was horrid especially on the bike trig is in good shape bar the concrete plug and the view interesting
Approached from Broadoak Hill ST566667. The track running east is initially good but deteriorates so much later that I had to get into the adjacent field to avoid deep flooded ruts. The trig point lies on the north side of a barbwire fence, easy to get under. Good views over Bristol including the Clifton Suspension Bridge and the Severn Bridges.
Number on FB does not agree to OS S3372
A fairly insignificant trig, although the view over Bristol is OK. The number is definitely 11159 and not 3372 as according to OS data. Tarmac plug.
vgc; resin plug; white; trig in hedge S side of main tk, 1:50k map misleading as tk does not go downhill
Plain pillar in hedge and barbed wire fence. Good views of Bristol. |
