Good views. Also possible to see monstrosity of a telecom tower a few KM to the south. A very tall concrete mast. Approach pillar from west by side of barn across grass fields.
Approached from the W, so I was on the wrong side of a barbed wire fence. All looked fine.
Quite easy to get to from field entrance on A4135 to S of trig. Walked round edge of field to E then N, over two gates and into grass field heading W to trig. Pillar sits in SW corner of field near a water trough; plug/cap missing; S sighthole open, all others plugged. Views off the Cotswold escarpment to the NW can be glimpsed. Some sheep in the next field were curious about my presence! Position logged from average of two readings from GPS device accurate to ±5m.
The pillar sits amongst nettles at the side of a field of long grass; it lacks a cap or plug and has FB S1524. I parked in a field gateway on the A4135 to the south and then skirted a field of wheat and crossed a couple of gates to reach the pillar; I spooked a young deer that was hiding in the crops of an adjacent field. The site has a good view across the nearby valley and down the coombe to the Severn; there are distant hills on the horizon to the north and northwest. Hills are also on the distant horizon beyond the plateau to the south.
Went in along the fence line from the barns.
nothing to add
A hazy day, so views not good. Trig looking a bit sorry for itself in an overgrown corner of the field. Plenty of road noise. By crop field.
Parked just off the main road, trig on the opposite side of a freshly ploughed field
Access off the A4135,follow hedge .Good views back to Severn Estuary ,May Hill and S Wales.
vgc, no cap or plug, N side of fence, arable field
NW side of field wall
Plug with indented lettering. |
