Bit of a mistake with the parking at Load Brook near entrance to public footpath, Grid ref SK 27214 88747 took footpath N/E Then West through wood saw man but not confronted. Hard walk up hill in thick bracken to trig took road to the South back to car East to crossroad then North to Load Brook.

Not easily accessible but quite visible upon nearing. I was looking for a place to hop over the fence from Rod Side. Unfortunately my parking had partly blocked the entrance for the returning owner of Crawhaw Lodge so I dashed back to apologise. In the resulting conversation I explained the purpose of my visit and was immediately invited to go up through the cemetery and hop over the wall near the mausoleum. I was given the key to the cemetery [which now belongs to the house and is locked due to vandalism] and did as suggested. Once over the wall the trig point is easy to see and visit. Some lovely views across the Rivlin Valley. Pillar in good condition except that the plug is missing.

Bagged on a circular walk from Hathersage. Squeezed through fence east of house then up across rough moor to trig which lies on open access land. Good views to Sheffield and beyond.

Went back again (me and Pete are writing a book, so we needed the pics). Best approach is up the drive past Crawshaw Lodge, over the gate then turn back and up behind the trees. Nice peacocks at the Lodge, and a nice cup of coffee for any trigpointers who are polite and show interest in the birds! (The good lady will lock up the four dogs before you enter the garden!)

Have to confess to jumping the fence. Pheasants and grouse scattered in all direction, but I had no gun! TP sound, with all bits intact

Approached from W behind woodland. An electric fence alongside wall but easily negotiated. Getting too dark for distant views.

Sealed off by wall and fence on private land, but gives good views of moors and sheffield from it.

Situated on Rod Moor about 1 km north of the A57. It isn’t directly on any footpah but there is a track that leads up to Grawshaw Farm that you can use to gain access to the moor and then work your way across to the T/P. It’s complete and in good condition. It was grey and hazy when I visited but the views were good and would be better on a clear, sunny day.
