Walked past this while on Offa's Dyke Path in April 1976 but didn't visit the pillar. Today followed ODP up from Kington with a tune in my head to the pillar and then descended to valley before walking with the golfers up to non-trigged summit of Bradnor Hill. Lovely walk even though a bit misty almost till the end.

What a great walk up from Ridgebourne Road where there is plenty of room for single file, roadside parking. Don't get parking in the car park for Hergest Croft Gardens - they put a chain across the entrance/exit at 6.00pm. Did a geocache at the start of the walk by the entrance to the ridge walk and then continued along Offa's Dyke soaking in the views on the way. Paused at the 8 Monkey Puzzle trees for a couple of photos, then walked over to the Whet Stone. Finally on to the trig where there are fantastic views in pretty much 360 degrees. Enjoyed a moment there before doing one more geocache about 100 meters away. Nice to be so close to the Welsh Border here which is within walking distance. Visited with CherryBubb.

Lovely scenic walk in changeable weather up the broad clear grassy path from Kington , past a bizarre clump of monkey puzzle trees and a small herd of wild ponies, then off the path for around 100m of rough pasture to the pillar, which is in good condition, metalwork in place, but today had an orienteering punch and sign tied to the top ! The views are panoramic, well worth the walk.

A rare 8 trig for the collection and a neat little link into my less trigged areas of Malvern across to the Black Mountains. Beautiful spot with the little hills of the south dramatically different to the huge Herefordshire/Radnorshire/Breconshire lines - Pen Y Fan to Caer Caradoc. Then there's the monkey trees, from here a pilgrimage of sorts to the wonderful Dore Abbey and the amazement of Kilpeck.

ODP#7: minor diversion from the path to return to this pillar almost exactly 10 yeas since I was last here. The monkey puzzle trees have grown a bit - still don't know what they are doing here! Overcast so many of the surrounding hills wearing cloud caps, but views still not bad. Asphalt cap, all s/holes open, very minor damage round all top four edges but not significant, base plinth is beginning to erode out but pillar is otherwise in vgc given its very accessible location.

Pleasant walk up from Kington along Ridgebourne Road / Offa's Dyke Path. Didn't find the Whetstone, but monkey trees interesting, with a seat in the only shade on the hill - this being the hottest day of year to date it was welcomed. Lovely 360deg views over both sides of border, our next hill, Bradnor, in full view. Pillar, located a short distance from the hill's summit amongst a jumble of exposed rock boulders, generally in good condition but for minor spalling on all 4 top edges; cap missing, asphalt plug; all sight holes open.

Used cul-de-sac lane from East, sign posted for Offa's Dyke Path and through on gate onto bridleway with short grassy surface to summit. Rideable all the way, if slowly due to gradient. rewarded with panoramic views

Mike Oldfield's 2nd Album from 1974 of the same name was played a lot in my youth and a vinyl copy lurks somewhere in my music collection. Think he lived close by in those days and wrote the album there.

Drove up dead end road from Kington and parked shy of the gate onto Hergest Common. Nobody else on the Ridge - Offas Dykers not on the road yet. Steady walk up - trig beyond the Monkey Puzzle trees & slightly L. A few ponies around but nothing to worry about. Met some Dutch OD walkers on way down who asked about the wind on the top - none - they'd caught the bus from Knighton to Kington. Not purists. No one listening to Mike Oldfield on their iPods either.

Closest town is 'Cove( 5 or 6 houses); south of 'Cove' is a larger town called 'Midtown'9dozen or so houses); and south of 'Midtown' is 'Poolewe' where the B8057 intersects with A832 - Rubha nan Sasan is at the end of B8057; on the right - can't miss it!! Not damagaed; it is numbered; BUT it appears to be the 1st Admiratly Hydrographic Survey Pillar placed as it is labled 'G 000 K'; and dated 1951 This is a lovely place; for both the rugged beauty and the isolated dismalness that the gunners must have faced being based there. There is a geocache just below the pillar; on the east side.

Another family outing for a long weekend in Lyonshall, this time to celebrate one of my big birthdays. With Old Man, Sis#1 and three cousins on a walk from Stanner, with a pause whilst skirting Hanter Hill to watch the fire brigade tackling a moorland fire, before enjoying excellent all round views from here.

mid way round a mountain bike race I stopped for this trig it was very hot and the start line was at the top of the hill so we were both tired before we even crossed the start line.

Flat summit area but pleasant and popular with horse riders. Highest point a few hundred metres away.

Have visited this pillar so often in the recent 25 years. Have just come round to log it. Take it in on easy grass land walk between Kington and Gladestry.

The trig was guarded by a sheep, many ponies and foals. There were also a large number of flyig ants crawling over the top of the trig.

They used to grow corn up here - the big cairns are from clearing the land. On the Offas Dyke path so plenty of traffic. Went on to look at the gabbro hills next door - Hanter Hill etc.
