View field, view Lancaster, view Morecombe Bay, view Ingleborough, view Yorkshire Dales, view Lake District. What an absolutely splendid little Trig Point!

View North West The sheep became ever more curious as to why a sheep dog should be sitting on a pedestal. Closer and closer they came, to get a better look. The ewes educated their lambs with tales of being rounded up by Border Collies. It started to look like Storm and the sheep were playing a game of "What's the time, Mr Wolf"!

A nice easy bag just a short distance into an easily accessible field. The only problem is finding somewhere convenient to park. In the end I just pulled up on the side road (Park Ln) where it opened out a bit for two cars to pass and banked on it not being too busy. From there it is simply over the sturdy metal gate and up the field. Decent views including over to Lancaster's Ashton Memorial to the SW. Drove into Carnforth for a beer at The Snug micropub at the station afterwards.

A fab trig suggested by my trig associate. Ingleborough sign posts the Yorkshire and Lancashire divide to the east, the rough end of Bowland south, Fylde with the Blackpool intersections grabbing rain with Black Coombe one of the few Cumbrian tops that is cloud topped, snow in the central peaks and the Eastern fells lightly glazed. Gorgeous. Crook o' Lune for a walk with the waxing moon.

The trig is visible from the road. Just opened the gate and walked straight up to it. I saw the new, 3D printed cap and said to my husband "There's a guy called Wheresthatpenguin who puts new caps on round here, I bet it was him." And lo and behold, he was here a week ago!

I walked up from Carnforth Station after arriving on the 08.56 Skipton to Morecambe train which was delayed by 20 mins due to a broken down train. An easy amble up on quite country roads BM hunting along the way. The weather was good on the way up but turned nasty on the way down to Bolton-le-Sands for the 14.06 55 Stagecoach Lancaster to Carnforth bus. I had a pint of Stowford Press in the Royal Station Hotel before the 14.56 Leeds train back to Skipton then the 16.12 280 Stagecoach Skipton to Preston bus home to Earby.

Highly visible from the road. Accessible from either of two gates and a simple walk up to it. As it is also highly visible from the nearby farm I called there seeking permission but no one was at home. Pillar is in very good condition but unfortunately the plug is long gone. The suprise factor was that it lived up to its name being a lovely view point.

Cap missing overwise OK. Do not argue with the name - the view is amzazing, especially in a northerly airstream late in the afternoon. Dales hills and Ward Stone in particular,as they were litup in red light, but a very fine view to the Lakes across Morecambe Bay as well. Scummers had just dumped building rubble in the nearby layby and I was questioned by a local if I knew anything, sadly not, it would be a pleasure to help convict such vermin.
