First outing on the Oswestry (Chirk, Y Waun, Ellesmere & Pant) 240 OS map in pursuit of as many trigs as I can 'bag' North to South with a 'get home' early afternoon. As it happened seven comfortably...New Marton, Sutton, Bryn-y-wistyn, Llanymynech golf links, Berwyn, Mynydd Myfyr & Oswestry Station. For New Marton parked on-road/off-road at the road bend East GR 34339 34764 & accessed trig both field-side & road-side. For Sutton parked on-road pulled-in close to two large boulders 'cutting-off' access to a field, by the bridge at GR 36112 27333. Crossing the road & stile the trig was but a short distance uphill. For Bryn-y-wistyn parked just off-road pulled-in close to an open gate at GR 32684 23335 & accessing the field followed the fence-line to locate the hedge-engrossed trig. Impossible to walk around, I managed second best thing difficult as it was, climbing on top of it making use of a nearby road cone to 'get a footing'. For Llanymynech golf links parked off-road in a lay-by close to the bridleway 'heading' North-East GR 25910 21681. Initially following the bridleway, a short but steep scramble was necessary with a barbed-wire fence straddle in attaining Asterley Rocks. The trig was then all but a short walk away from the toposcope. For Berwyn parked off-road pulled-in close to the left-hand side of the widened, 'fanned-out' area of Plas Gwyn GR 21136 22711 & crossing the road & 'jumping' a gate proceeded uphill, 'jumping' a coupl'a barbed-wire fences en-route to the trig...Have to say this one 'felt' especially trespassy, in view of all on-hill, 'felt' like a goldfish in a bowl going up & coming down! For Mynydd Myfyr parked on-road pulled-in close to the side at a widened area of roadway GR 24278 27604 & crossing the road, squeezed thro' the hedgerow to proceed uphill onto the trig. For Oswestry Station parked on Monkmoor Road just around the corner from Walford Road GR 29829 29736 & accessing the narrow alleyway atop of Elgar Close, 'taking' a left located the trig in woodland...Shelf Bank a local resident referred to it. Out at 06:00 & back in post a 168 mile 'round trip' from Salford, Manchester at 13:00. A relatively easy morning as 'trigbagging' goes, plenty'a high-hedged, narrow, rutted & pot-holed lanes to contend with & endless mud especially it has to be said in parking about the Bryn-y-wistyn field. The descent from Asterley Rocks in having accessed the Llanymynech golf links trig was one requiring some degree of care & having not parked-up for Oswestry Station on Elgar Close some confusion as to where that was presented. A successful & productive morning leaving just two trigs to get Yr Alt & Breidden Hill to complete the map, with just off map Hargrave Bank if possible.

Indeed use the wooden gate to the field, barely to be seen in late Summer from the road. Beautiful fresh morning the jackdaws wandering the skies. Visit between two castles... Whittington and then the slightly different Powis for one of my favourite gardens.

Pretty unispiring roadside trig. Its more or less buried in the hedge & needs some serious tlc with loppers. The road is quiet so we just stopped next to it to bag it :)

Parked at the dog-leg just past the trig from Sandhole Farm end. Walked up and over a gate on the left. Trig is behind a fence and covered in bramble. Impossible to uncover the spider without snips (note to self, put them in the backpack ;). I did manage to see the spider (just) and the pic shows it is intact, but the plug is filled. FB to the left-hand side. A bit awkward to snap a pic of it. Can't see the entire trig because of the fence and bramble, but what I could see it looked in good condition.

Parked on the road to the south of Sand Hole Farm. The pillar is in a field on the south side of that same road, and I climbed over a gate to access the field. The pillar is absolutely buried in the hedge, and there is a wire fence in front of it. The flush bracket is on the left hand side when looking at the pillar from the field, whilst the spider is completely inaccessible.

Couldn't spot it at first in the hedge from the roadside but after a couple of passes we did. Nowhere to park close so parked at field entrance on bend in road E of the trig. Walked up the lane and over the first gate on the left and followed the hedge to the trig. Another FB facing into prickles but hedge has been trimmed significantly and wasn't too difficult to photograph. Forgot my hat but luckily a wee one popped up and sat on my shoulder!

The third one on my canal holiday.Accessed from the road over a barbed wire fence, care needed! A nice day and very good views made all the better as it was my hundredth trig point. I was taken to this one by fellow members of the crew without my knowledge and a glass of single malt at the point completed the occasion. NOTE- Whist sorting out trig photos, I found Bal Mawr so Sutton is now my hundredth pillar!

I do find these lane-side pillars hard to find! Located it eventually and had to hop over the fence to get access. Traces of white paint remain and the original plug has slighty-indented letters. There holes under the lugs are very deep. All sightholes closed. In a hedge and FB hard to get at. Reasonable S views of agricultural Cheshire.

In a hedge, and behind a barbed wire fence, it was hard to read the plate. The pillar is in good condition and has unusual pits to hold the hooks. Square and deep.
