(392) I parked up outside the gates, and was pleasantly surprised to find them no obstacle - they are a good height, with a decent foothold on either the wooden post to the left, or the handles - and no barbed wire. A quick clamber up and over, and a trot through the compound and up to the pillar and back took about 3 minutes - nothing disturbed or damaged. The pillar is in very good condition with a full set of metalwork.

How lucky was I? As I was walking down from parking my car in the pub carpark, a YW bod was locking the gates. Gave him my sweetest smile and asked if I could go photo the TP before he locked up. Very obliging young man, and a swift dash into the compound, to the right, up the bank, a couple of pics and sprinted out! Half expected to be locked in, but he kept his word. Many thanks to you. No idea what the views were like!

Parking opposite the gates. Usual green fencing around the compound. Over the gates with ease and across to the trig.

Caught between jackrustle's fear of being stuck in the compound and jonglew's nonchalant popping over the gate. Without spikes on top of the gate, there looked like less chance of castration; so over the top I went and trotted over to the pillar to bag my prize. Found out later that Rishi Sunak lived a mile down the road, so felt quite relieved not to be arrested for acting suspicious on his doorstep.

(2868) Small pull-in for parking. Short walk from there to the reservoir. Gates very doable, and managed to get half way over but a recent flare up of a health niggle precluded going any further. Disappointing, but hopefully a revisit will tick this one off properly. Pillar readily visible and all looks to be in good condition. Pillar history: Built on the 11th of June 1953, at a cost of £12 16s 6d. Last maintained by the OS in March of 1975. FB is S7592

Driving into Northallerton so thought I'd have a stab at this one. Parked up by the gates and assessed.....Decided to tackle it so climbed over the 7' gates in a very inelegant manor. Couldn't see anything to my left so looked behind the station building and could see the pillar sat on top of one of the structures. Nipped over to it and took a few photos in each direction. When walking on top of the structure it felt less than solid under my weight and I had visions of falling through into the water below with no real prospect of rescue. I guess that's why it is fenced off..... Anyhow, nice views westwards, but I get the impression the pillar may have been moved from its original location.

Even I can get over the rear gate. Got a fright as I escaped. I could hear a police siren in the distance and it was getting louder and coming my way. My car was parked at the front gates and I'd been visible for miles around on top of the reservoir. I though someone must have phoned 999 to report terrorist activities. As I walked up to my car a fire engine came by at full speed. Somebody must have set fire to the Christmas turkey. One relieved trigpointer.

HISTORY: Pillar completed 11th July 1953 costing £12.16s.6d. Computed as tertiary triangulation station SE38/T14 in 1955. Levelled for height in 1959. Last maintained by the OS in March 1975. SITE VISIT: Approached from east. Parked by north side of road in muddy recess at SE393942. Unfortunate timing. Secure compound. Water Board van arrived unlocked main gate and came into compound while I was at the pillar. Escaped unseen over the locked back gate. Returned four hours later for photos. Luckily my locked gate vaulting skills are up to speed. :-) Pillar in good condition. Spider retains OS centre cap with deep indented letters. Flush bracket faces NNE, 13°. Vented through NW sight hole. Limited views but chose not to hang around longer than necessary.

Bonus bag as the gates were open and contractors on site so I asked permission and got to the Trig. Previous visit 12/05/10 16:30 Unreachable without scaling fence which I am not about to do in the middle of the day on the way back from a meeting. I will probably come this way to Northallerton on the offchance someone will let me in. Viewable from the hedge on the right hand side of the gate. Looks to be in good condition.

Works now apparently complete, including a 6ft perimiter fence. From outside fence the nearest approach at SE 39203 94224 about 25m away, but unable to see trig. From further away it looks in good nick. The tall fence could be crossed at the road gate or at the back gate, but you have to be certain you could get out again without the wooden fence that might help you in.
