I was up early so had a drive out to bag this trig before returning to collect my wife and visit Beaumaris. I parked on the road just lower down from the graveyard. I found my through the village to the low side of the hill and had to scale a wall before the short walk up to the pillar. It all felt a bit trespassy so I didn't stay long but the views out to the hills and sea were good. There had been some rain in the night that had fallen as snow on the tops and settled. The pillar is tight against the fence and appears to be in generally good condition. The spider retains the original centre.

Filthy day, freezing rain. Got soaked walking here along the cycle track from Groeslon with Twiggy. Back home, drying out. Good fun!

Didn't want to access the field due to the horses but could see the trigpoint from the road.

Noticed pillar on map, tucked away in Pen Y Groes. From gate in SW corner of field on south side of pillar, to discover pillar on wrong side of fence. Quite a public position so didn't dally.

Permission sought from landowner; we were escorted to the trig on account of the excitable horses. They perhaps didn't really understand why we wanted to visit the trig, but were very approachable and accomodating.

It took a couple of attempts to find the cemetery and it was a reminder why I prefer walking, running or cycling to trigs. I followed others advice and parked at the lower gates of the cemetery. 25 metres down the lane is gate 1 (locked), gate 2 is 5 metres further on and is open. The pillar is half left in a field....very obvious. Those horses can shift somewhat, so edge your way around the field. Dear Prince Philip RIP I gift to you.

Parked at cemetery entrance due E of the trig, over a field gate and short hop across a pasture. Pillar sits against stock fencing, original top cap is retained, deeply indented lettering; rear sight hole open. Extensive panoramic views.

Like others I parked by the entrance to the cemetery and then climbed over the gates into the horsey field for a quick bag.

Parked outside cemetery and climbed over gate into the wettest field in Wales occupied by uninterested horses and sheep. One sheep stood guard at the pillar but moved off on approach. Views limited in all directions due to low cloud and teeming rain.

a puzzle initially having been confused that there was a new road bypassing the town and getting disorientated as to which bit of the town roads I was on. Even got out the compass in the end!! Eventually an explore up a little cul-de-sac brought me a couple of gates up a grassy hill field and eventually there it was on top of a boulder wall. I'd almost given up on finding it.

Metal plug [indented letters]. Private [owner unknown]. Top of scruffy field [sheep, horses] adjacent to Penygroes cemetery. Accessed by climbing gate & ducking under single wire. Location totally underwhelming.

Could find no easy, public access to the field where the Trig was situated. It was clearly visible from the nearby cemetery. In the end I had to climb over the gate near the cemetery as indicated by previous visitors. I was observed by some curious horses on my way to the Trig, no doubt they were interested to know how I would cope with the electric fence about halfway up the hill! The fence was a single wire so I was able to duck under! The Trig was in vgc and appeared to be intact.

Pillar is in good condition, the central plus is still present. Surrounded by feeding enclosures, came under close scrutiny be a few cows during the visit.
