(4101) My 600th extant pillar. Parked on Eastwood Road at the layby. Easy walk from there to the pillar. Glorious views at the location. Pillar in fair overall condition and still retains its original centre cap. Slight damage to the top made worse by some slapdash repairs. And with that it was time to wait for Green Flag to come to the rescue and sort out my car trouble. GR to 3.8m. Pillar sits at 437.7m above sea level. Pillar history: Built on the 2nd of May 1948, at a cost of £11.11s.0d. Last maintained by the OS in October of 1980.

(426) We parked up in the large lay-by on Eastwood Road, and I left the ladies in the car for a swift solo dash up to the Bridestones. Sadly the thick hill fog and drizzle prevented any appreciation of the renowned views here, so this one will have to be revisited at some point. It sits amongst the stunning cluster of boulders, and is a great spot to visit - but it has been subject to a clumsy amateur repair to the top, and despite miraculously retaining all the original metalwork, it looks a bit of a pig. 15 minutes out and back, and I managed to be disappointed with the pillar and the view... I'll go again...

2nd trig of today's 9 mile hike. I definitely saved the best till last. Coming from Heptonstall Moor, I'd followed 'Dukes Cut' to Kebs Road then took the footpath near The Barn and headed South then East up to this magnificent location. Several of the rocks there look absolutely incredible. Some carved with the names of past visitors (some dating back to the 1800s) After logging I continued east onto Eastwood Rd, heading back to the car at the New Delight pub.

Bridestones Moor & Robin Cross Hill trig pillars. Parking just off The Long Causeway for both. First a large parking area at Keb Bridge, then a lay-by at SD 882 296 (opposite a sign reading “Stone Wall Smith, Dry Stone Walling”). Bridestones are worth a revisit but on a much warmer day!

Parked by the old Pub and walked across the PROW - thistles and nettles in abundance in July if in shorts! Pillar stands out in what seemed to be a recent coat of white. Liked the little plinth for the base - kept in traditional style. Nice touch. Trig obviously seriously attacked previously for its metal work but stood its ground. Amazingly it stills retains its plug. Excellent views on a glorious sunny afternoon. Lovely Spot.

Pathfinder Guides - South Pennines (2010): The Bridestones. Clearly visible from the Whirlaw Stones. From the pillar, which itself sits atop The Bridestones, there are good views in all directions: Stoodley Pike to the South-East, Todmorden to the South, new wind turbines being constructed to the West and (for fellow geeks) the Pole Hill VOR station to the North. Spider is completely exposed but still complete with original metal cap.

My 1500 pillar since starting in April 2007. Just happened to be here, but what a good one to celebrate with! Warm sunny day with excellent views and the intriguing rock pillar.

Consequatively numbered trigs within 20 munites of each other (after Robin Cross Hill). Late autumn evening, warm golden sun, the valleys already in shadow, a handful of folk getting some bouldering in after work before the clocks change - great place to be. The damage to the trig seems to be long-standing as it predates the last painting.

This is easily seen from the road from Blackshaw Head over to Burnley standing out on the horizon. Interesting rock formations at Great Bride Stones a few yards away, especially the Bottle Stone. Good views accross the upper Calder Valley and Walsden valley.
