3rd Trig of today's hike. Confusing. Despite my app showing a PRoW, I arrived at the farm path to find the gate closed and locked. I knocked on at the farm, no answer. Then just as I was contemplating scaling the gate, the landowners arrived in a 4x4. I asked for permission to go to the trig, no problem at all, he was a friendly pleasant guy. He did briefly speak about the path leading to nowhere so perhaps people have challenged him before about it being a PRoW? Ultimately I decided that he owned the land so I would be courteous and ask permission, whether I technically needed to or not.

This is 4 of a 5 circular bagging. Quite a boring location IMHO and there was a lot of rubbish around the trig itself. Views spoilt by backdrop of fields full of mud. I met the landowner who was very nice but was more interested in how I got to the trig which is a simple walk up the path to the farm off the B6236. Once I showed her my track on Viewranger she was happy. But she was voicing her concern about trig baggers coming over her land to get to the pillar avoiding the public paths.

There are 15 'Mount Pleasants' listed as trigpoints. I just hope the other 14 have a more pleasant outlook and immediate surroudings than this one. Bad weather, unloved grazing land and nearby scrap, all contributed to a lack of euphoria on reaching the top of the farm lane.
