Made a bit of a meal of this one approaching on bike from the north. Obvious when you get there. Inner tube has now gone.

Visited whilst of a geocaching circular walk around the Chase. Bizarrely, someone has wrapped an inner tube from a bicycle tyre around the base of the trig.

A pleasant circular walk from the White House car park to the south and along the beautiful Sherbrook Valley, although if you do the last quarter of a mile back to the car park along the road be careful - the traffic moves fast. The tp is in a commanding location overlooking heathland. Must be getting on for 30 years since I was last here, and its great to be back

Walked up from Severn Springs car park – then onto Brocton Field. Great views but a ferocious wind.

Parked in car park near ACF Adventure Centre and walked to this one. Pick your track carefully to avoid steep climbs back up. Commanding site as stands on distince plinth. View over the Sherbrook Valley which is the next point of call on the way over to...

Good views. I walked here from Brocton Field TP, not the most direct route, but I did startle a couple of young deer only a few feet away. Im not sure who jumped the most. Finally got to the trig for a quick log.

Sadly they've started forestry works just north of the trig so the area may not look the same for long!

On the east side of the Cannock Chase country park, on edge of major plantation. OK condition. Definitely no S with the number, but not a primary, even though numbers either side ARE primaries (Wirswall and Blakemere) Resin plug. Public. ADD ON I think The Butts is a Substitute Primary, replacing the defunct Castle Ring (Old)

Once hemmed in on most sides by trees, the view is reappearing. Trees were being felled nearby during my visit. I expect the recently numbered pillar across the Sherbrook Valley was a replacement due to visibility problems. (no.. It was a simple rebuild) Pillar is painted a light green and has a plastic plug replacement. It is on a concrete plinth. Recent visit 3/5/04. More trees have gone since last November.. Views have opened up well. Lovely spring day
