Walking "A Breath of Fresh Air" which explores the area south of Lancaster. The 22 mile route was devised by Norman Thomas with help from his local LDWA group. He was handing route directions out at an event in 2010. I took one and said I would give it "pop"......thirteen years late and I wonder why it took me so long to explore this area. A great walk showing the Lancashire coastal area that I have never visited. I started/finished from Lancaster not Glasson Docks and the return was following the canal and the trig was only 10 mins off route. A bonus was seeing the Flying Scotsman heading north when ascending!!! Yippee £2 bus fares extended to the end of October, thank you Stagecoach this pillar is for you.

One of eleven trigs bagged in the Lancaster Morcambe area, on the way to Kendal. This was the second. Parked near Burrow (railway) Bridge where I saw a couple of trainspotters... Up the steps for a short walk along PROW to the pillar at the top of the hill. It was in a depression full of water. Spring lambs were in the fields. Views of semi rural area. Pillar in generally good condition but the foundations are partly exposed and the centre of the spider has been replaced with a plain disc. On the way back to the car saw what looked like a steam train in the distance. Later read the Flying Scotsman had been in the area.

Solo from lay-by off the S bound carriageway of the A588 @ SD 4691 5822; Stodday Hill & Burrow Heights trig pt. Probably due to the proximity of Heysham power station, the area’s crisscrossed by aerial cable & pylons. My route involved walking a couple of short sections on the A588, it’s a busy road without footpath.

A visit to Burrow Heights with my 85 year old mum was a reenactment of my first trig bag aged about 7. Back then she brought me here to show me the' meteorite ' a short distance NW from the pillar. Years later I learnt it was an erratic boulder of the Silurian Age probably originated from the south Lake District.But that doesn't sound as interesting and seeing how it was Mother's Day weekend, meteorite it still was. From this viewpoint we looked onto her birthplace -Bailrigg Farm-and tried to imagine what this area will look like as a Garden Village new town if the plans go ahead. Visit while you can;soon it will be a great big building site.
