Found unsigned footpath up from lane. Nettles somewhat uncomfortable when wearing cycle shorts! Struck left over ackward to scale fence, by good judgement (chance actually), directly opposite pillar.

Well named; woods to NE full of rooks - and fox -on very murky grey morning. Found myself on ummarked path at top of woods, but easy access to field and then rolled under barbed wire to TP. Odd rusty threaded cap to plug, but TP in vgc and on a better day would be a lovely viewpoint.

When coming by car from the main road, there is a pull in just past the start of the footpath, neat the start of the second footpath. Do not take this one by mistake. Only a fool like me would do that. The only other tricky bit is the crawl under the barbed wire fence to gain access to the FB made more difficult by the nettles. If you do not get caught from above you will from below.

We were the wrong side of a barbed wire fence so didn't see the flush bracket. Hazy views of Newhaven. GPSr gave elevation 49m.

This is on the field line just in front of some houses but the land is permissive so there's no problem with access. Lovely views over the sea. It has the weirdest plug I've ever seen - not standard OS issue, but why and what it's for is anyone's guess.

Much as described in earlier logs. The views from here are supurb, in site of its location close to modern housing. Views include Seaford Head and Newhaven Harbour.

No more to add than what has already been said! Sure is a strange plug ...

Its a fairly standard pillar, right by a barb wire fence. Excellent views of the sunset from here, (which I stayed to watch, also to celebrate my 100th Trig!). As mentioned below, its sporting an unusual metal plug, don't know if this plug used to hold a beaconing lamp.

Good views of the Downs in all directions. Just off a public footpath. Plug has a strange bit of rusty steel screwed into it.
