pigs in field
First visitor for nearly a year to this pleasent trig with a sea view.
A BIT OF WHEEL SPIN ON THE WET STEEP APPROACH TRACK, BUT MADE IT UP! FEROCIOUS WESTERLY WIND.
Very noisy geese in the next field. Great views of the coast from the trig.
Easy parking at roadside short walk up path trig on left
Easy short walk up a track - when the geese are not about. A lot of feathers on the road, and noisy geese at the nearby farm. Should be OK around Christmas. Good nick and intact
Followed Clochandighter`s route up the side of the field.
Short walk from road.Excellent views toward the sea.
Pillar in good order. Spider retains OS plug with deep indented lettering. RHS sight hole open, others plugged. FB faces SSW ~208° along field boundary. Located by fence on NE edge of arable field. Mapped track on other (NE) side of fence. Safe parking by bend in public road at NT915638. Photographed 11/11/2007, GRP.
Pleasant spot not far from road with good views back to the Cheviots.
Revisited to photograph

First visit. To record FB number. HISTORY: Pillar completed 25th July 1952 costing £15.13s.11d. Computed for triangulation as tertiary station NT86/T1 in the Berwick secondary block during 1953. Flush bracket S7140 levelled for height also in 1953. Last maintained by the OS, 10th August 1989. SITE VISIT 4/08/1993: Back in the days when Lowland Scottish ran the No.104 Edinburgh to Berwick bus service. All consigned to history now, not just the 104 bus route, but the bus company name too. |
