A circular walk from Ulverston after a big birthday breakfast in the Indoor Market. Followed the Cumbria Way, but peeled off before The Rake to gain access onto this area of moorland, which I have never visited before and the reason I am here. Walked N to S beside a broken wall, crossed road and continued to gate and trod to pillar. In a blink of an eye I went overnight from 62 to 63, so birthdays can have this fine pillar. Coming thick and fast on the conveyor belt called life.

Parked some way to west of fenceline, walked back to it, then south along it and diagonally across moor to pillar. Managed to dodge some cold December showers. Views limited by low cloud base

Managed to squeeze the van in a small off road space at the bottom of the quad track which leads up to the fence line. From here followed the sheep tracks through the heather to the trig.

2nd of 5 trigs this afternoon whilst in the area for work. Parked on road and followed the fenceline up following slight quad track until fence in gate and where other track joins. At this point diagonal across the moor towards the peak of the hill, where the trig emerges. Itchy

A challenging drive up the road from the A595 past High Bank House Farm and onto a fairly compact area of open moorland. Followed the fence line and then veered half right on reaching a gate to pick up a clear path through the heather to the pillar. Too overcast for extensive views today, apart from a shaft of sunlight illuminating the Barrow Monument. A stiff cold northerly breeze too, which meant the 5 nearby wind turbines were working at full tilt. Prior to this bag we had done a shoreline walk to Dunnerholme, 4km to the west, which is a fantastic vantage point to observe the Duddon Estuary

Revisit for photographs and GPS reading. Approached from NE after finding a safe parking spot nearby. Easiest route up is to follow the boundary fence from SD250807 to the summit. Open grazing moor on access land. Pillar in good condition. Spider retains OS centre cap with shallow engraved letters. Flush bracket faces northeast, ~34°. Vented through SW and NW sight holes. 360° open outlook from top being challenged by a sudden downpour.

Beautiful afternoon so decided on a rather roundabout route back from Burney to Langdale via this trig. Easy walk up from the road to a trig with great all round views, including down over Barrow. Metal cap, shallow letters, NW and SW s/holes open, FB numbers have been painted yellow (or cleaned?) - seen this somewhere before, can't remember where, vgc.

Approached from NE. Visited to record FB number. The pillar was completed in May 1949 costing £7.0s.5½d. In 1950 this marker was computed for triangulation as secondary station SD47/1 in the Barrow-in-Furness block. Flush bracket S5385 was levelled for height in 1954. This trig point was last maintained by the OS in November 1976. Spider retained original OS centre plug with shallow engraved letters. No photos taken.

Pillar still retaining much of its white paint under lattice mast on top of Mean Moor. Views over Grange-over-Sands. Very windy and painful hail spoilt the experience!
