Norbreck. Parked Bodie Hill and walked up Jeremy Lane to Moss Lane. Turn right passing Moss Cottages (layby in front) and come to a PF with wooden bridge. Walk to the end of the field (cows behind electric wire). Keep left. Bridges and stiles. Come to 2 stiles keep left. At the end of the electric fence there is a stile. Cows behind barbed wire fence. After the stile walk along looking for a plank going over the brook. Bushes covering the exits. Further up is a gate. Walk up towards the hill. I went through the gate and around the pond. About 100m from Norbreck farm yard.

Walk from road along PRoW. All gates and styles overgrown with nettles. Through the farm straight to Trig Point. Friendly farmer. Just got back to the car before the heavens opened. A real thunderstorm.

One of eleven trigs bagged in the Lancaster Morcambe area, on the way to Kendal. This was the first. Parked in village for a short walk along the PROW. The pillar is alongside the duck pond. Visible cracks all over & a small amount of the top screed has broken away. The spider retains the original centre.

Visited on circular walk from boat moored in Glasson basin. Quiet roads and footpaths to the thistle and nettle surrounded pillar next to a particularly well populated duck pond. Took the coastal path back. Hares in the fields and curlew on the sand and mud flats and views across to Sunderland Point. Lovely.

Followed the footpath through Norbreck farmyard and up a small rise for an easy bag on a gloriously sunny day. Views over well farmed land towards Cockerham Marsh and the coast to the west and Bowland hills to the east. Ducks in the adjacent pond were excited to have visitors

Bagged as YSM0177 Norbrick. Same as Walker Dan, walked over the fields from the south and back down the farm drive. A nice little pond with ducks next to this one. Couldn't see any marked paths through farm so ended up skirting round the milking sheds, passed a wee dead calf which I couldn't then get out of my head. Dairy is scary, but I'm addicted to cheese so I'm in a dilemma ;-/

Walking nearby so only needed a slight detour to visit this pillar. Some cracks and a bit of flaking on the top - hence slightly damaged condition. Still retains an original indented letter plug. I wonder why it is called Nrorbrick when the nearby farm is called Norbreck. Pond was full of ducks today.

We parked at Hillam Farm and walked up from there. The trig is next to a bit of a grotty pond but we did see a pair of reed buntings near to Norbrick Farm. The trig has a couple of quite bad cracks but is otherwise OK. Plug with indented lettering.

12/29 for the day. Unexpectedly good views from the trig - a small rise in an otherwise flat landscape. The trig stands guard to a small pond!
