An easy bag from the carpark due south. Footpath (akin to a motorway really) leads straight up to it. Glorious views. Vicious wind.

Footpath to trig had decided to turn itself into a small stream. But still a nice short walk.

A few photos of a night-time visit to Shilstone Hill. At over 400mAOD, the views over the Bristol Channel are stunning stretching from Barry in the east over to Worms Head in the west.

A shortish walk through the heather moor off the B3223. Very misty and the pillar appeared out of the gloom! However, on a good day this would be a super spot! It's all intact with the original plug on a super-strong concrete base. Many skylarks about and I heard a cuckoo as I parked the car.
