Still present and correct despite me saying to the contrary a few years ago. It still took me a good 30 minutes to find but it should not have - it is only about a metre from the track and not buried, just a bit overgrown.

Still there - in low grass on SW verge of concrete track. vgc, no height tag; the usual GPS and OSBM plaques. If driving in (no suitable parking) - beware the wont-stay-open gate.

I fear this one may have gone. The field was ploughed and sown and there was a pile of rocks piled up against a tree. I stood where my GPS said the FBM was meant to be some 10 meters into the sown field. That somehow doen't seem to fit with Ianmacs photo so it may be that I just missed it.

Need to check my plotting but its very visible on the track to the reservoir before you turn right. Parking isn't clever but you could I suppose drive right to it. No great views though. Has a bilingual double plaque on it.
