I made a diversion off the M6 on the way home from Scotland and picked this trig at random to visit. I parked in the National Trust parking area at SD 4498 7738 and walked S along the track through two gates before turning left up the hillside and picking up the path towards the high point. Despite the persistent light rain it was a pleasant walk through an area which is much less forested than the 1:50k map would indicate! The pillar is painted in an odd off-white colour and is missing its cap. The FB, facing SW, is definitely not mounted straight! SW & SE sightholes open, others plugged. Sadly there were no real views today because of the drizzle but this is a very interesting corner of Cumbria as a drive through Arnside and along the B5282 eastwards showed me.

Lovely cold and bright sunny winters day. The view from the trig isnt great as the trees/bushes get in the way a bit. Moving around the hill plateau gets you far better views. Popular local site with lots of access routes, not all shown on the OS map. Came up the following day with my partner in crime and the view north was much better (although the weather was less bright). On a good day its probably a 9.

Highly visible and easily accessible. Have been here many times previously on a variety of walks but this is the first return since I started playing the bagging game. Inumerable footpaths up to this wonderful vantage point. Pillar is in excellent condition and looks to be kept well maintained. Just a shame that the plug is missing. I don't suppose it is within the rules to take one from somewhere else and put it here to make it a perfect pillar. Views today were stunning - Lake District and sea on a lovely sunny clear blue sky day.

Visited to record FB number. The pillar was built in April 1949 costing £10.14s.6d. In 1950 this marker was computed for triangulation as tertiary station SD47/T1 in the Barrow-in-Furness secondary block. Flush bracket S5406 was levelled for height in 1952. This trig point was last maintained by the OS in April 1976. Nice top.
