First proper - though brief - trigpointing expedition of the year. Parked to East then straightforward climb up to TP, sited to N of copse on top of hillfort. Plug missing - just a void - but otherwise vgc with OS plaque. Early start; very chilly, but sun rising, birds singing, and a lovely viewpoint.

What a gorgeous view! Took the hard way up, fighting through gorse, then discovered the easy path for the route back down.

My 2000th trigpoint log (1948th Pillar) and its a revisit! Lovely location though. Icy lanes from Honiton. Pillar condition unchanged.

Easy to find and only a short walk uphill from the N.T. car park. It's amasing to think that this hill fort was constructed nearly 2500 years ago without a JCB or any other power tool. The Beech trees are a Victorian addition.

Nice location. Parked at track off the lane to the E, but didnt think the N path looked good, so ended up circleing to S, (pleasent but hard work in the heat!), finally found access to top from N, accompanied by a herd of cows. Then on the way down missed the path, and ended up taking (still passable) path down trough woods and overgrown brackon.

Pillar in grassy area next to beach wood. Pillar swarming with flying ants during visit - nasty sting!
