Permission granted from farm lady. Pointed out the route and requested to close any gates behind (which goes without saying) and to return the same way. Parked at the bottom of grange Farm next to cottages. Follow road up until met gate to left before line of trees. Followed track through field, trig visible, through one gate. Trig 4 of 7. - !!! BE WARNED !!! -followed google maps, which took me down a track just off Hardings Lane (turn next to ramblers barn). Do not attempt if you like your car or don’t drive a 4x4… very tight in places (evidence of previous cars hitting trees trying to get past), uneven and high centred track. It did then join Reynards lane, which was the lane I followed all the way back

Drove the hideous single track road to the closest approach at the Grange, but the ascent was going to be too steep for an elderly man like me! Pity - I've done it in the past as 'Keith Stevens' but I'll leave it to one of my colleagues to bag it for Holmes Chapel U3A

Parked in Biggin by the pub, and followed a number of footpaths around to the west side, before climbing up to the summit. The walk up the side was quite steep, with rocky outcrops and sheep grazing. Great views from the top, but very windy. Decided to take a detour on the way back to Biggin, passing through Wolfscote Dale and Biggin Dale, to make a 11.8km loop.

I hiked 19.2 miles in the White Peak area of Staffordshire starting with a visit to Thors Cave before bagging 5 of the Peak District 88 trigs along the way. That makes a total of 60 of them so far. I came to this one via a single track lane and signs stating on this date (there was no date) the PROW had been revoked. With that in mind I was really surprised to see a National Trust plaque on the pillar, suggesting it was a NT monument and possibly the land is owned by them. It always annoys me when a PROW is revoked let alone the thought of it being possibly on NT land. I had a steep ascent to the pillar with spectacular panoramic views. It was in good condition albeit the foundations were slightly exposed and the original centre for the spider has been replaced with a plain disc. I thought this trig was 10 but I deducted a point for the revoked right of way.

Parked near Wolfscote Grange. Opposite the grange, I climbed over a fence. I then had to climb an extremely steep hill, which is at around a 70% angle over roughly quarter of a mile. Reached the summit, where the pillar, which has a National Trust plaque on it, can be found. The land is owned by the National Trust. Spectacular views all around. 5 of 9 today in the Derbyshire Dales in and around Ashbourne, Bakewell, and Matlock

A 2 hour evening walk from Hartington via Beresford and Wolfscote Dale. Open access to the E of Wolfscote Grange, then a short pull up the hill will bring you to this trig with the most fantastic views in all directions. Continued NE and picked up the path joining Reynards Lane. The Duke of Devonshire established a creamery in Hartington in the 1870s. In the 1900s and ran by the Nuttall family it became world famous and in the 1930s it was 1 of the 3 counties allowed to produce Blue Stilton, much later it was given PDO status by the EU. The factory closed in 2009, however a "reinvented" creamery was established in 2012 producing Peakland White and Blue and in 2014 the first Blue Stilton in 5 years. So I gift this lovely trig to my favourite cheese of all time, Blue Stilton.....Johnny Foreigner cant match it.

Cheeky dash up and down following a weekend of supervising D of E groups in the area. Drove along the narrow road from Harterton and managed to park the car near a gate. The southern half of the hill is access land, I hopped over the wooden part of the fence at Wolfscote Grange and took a straight, steep line to the top. Lovely views from the top, I really should visit the White Peak more often. Descent by same route. Can't have been much more than 20 minutes up and down.

Easy to access via gate at SK1378 5801, then up side of fence to top of hill, where access is via a kissing gate close to the trig. Reached the summit just as Storm Helene's worst effects passed over us so didn't/couldn't hang around for long. Great long distance views in all directions, worth the diversion for these alone. There is another access point but I didn't use it.

My absolute favourite of the three trigs bagged this holiday week. Walked from Hartington (easy parking, lovely village) up Beresford Dale crossing and re-crossing the lovely Dove. The trig is located on NT access land, but i found "access" barred by a barbed wire fence meaning me and my dad had to walk to the end of the minor road until we found a small permissive access plaque on a gate near The Whim. The gate was padlocked so we had to climb over it. A short steep climb lead to another locked gate which had to be climbed over. So much for access land. But this is why I loved this trig! Tricky to get to, unpopulated and a truly amazing viewpoint. I truly recommend this one.

Parked at the end of Beresford Lane, meanly avoiding the parking charges at the farm, then via a bridge over the raging Dove. Hate to think what the Stepping Stones are like just now. Up to Reynards Lane where, for a beautiful fleeting moment - the smell of hops! Ahhhh! Foe Access Land, the hill itself is difficult to get onto, and a steep climb once you do. Pleasant enough at the top though. Brief detour to take in the caves on the way back. Interesting and need exploring more when I'm equipped with more than the Flashlight App on my phone!

Plastic plug. Public. Access Land [NT]. Peak District National Park. The adjoining part of the hill, to the north, has permissive access, so providing more options for an ascent from the road on the west side. The slopes are amazingly steep, as they tend to be in this area where the Derbyshire Dales meet the Staffordshire Moorlands.

Another steep climb up from Wolfscote Grange – the last of a three trigpoint walk from Hartington. Was expecting to see the Whim Brewery at the Grange – it was shown on Google Maps – but it must have been relocated. Great views – retraced my steps down the hill then along Beresford Dale. Could see the three trigpoints I’d visited, Bank Top, Ecton Hill and Wolfscote Hill as I returned to Hartington. Doing a bit more investigation I see that the brewery is further down the lane at Whim Farm. Google streetview takes you right into the brewery yard.

Dedided to bag after setting out on circular walk from Hartington. A steep climb but well worth it for the views, albeit a bit breezy up top

Visited as a detour on a walk from Youlgreave to Hartington. Ascended via a good graded track from the first field of unanticipated access land. No camera to photo the location and fab views in the sunshine though I could see a massive black cloud coming. Descended the other end of the hill to the Whim and then into Wolfscote Dale where the cave I had planned to shelter from the rain in was occupied by a couple playing tonsil tennis!

Near the end of the day to Hartington on the White Peak Way and decided there was time to do this. Up lane to the south and then over gate (it was stuck) onto NT land and up over rough grass. Excellent views over the upper Dove valley.

Stayed the night at Alstonefield Youyh Hostel and walked from there up Walscote Dale onto this hill and then on to Wetton Hill. A smashing day out. No sheepdog for me either. I left mine at home. He too got lost yesterday - it must be in the breed.

One sighting-hole open, plug replaced by plastic cover, National Trust plaque with graffiti. Access from lane (gate to S). Drizzle - no view. Sheepdog remained by the farm entrance today.

Rather eerie up here, bit like a lunar landscape with the rocks spread around. TP has a NT plaque attached.Excellent views all round.Goosanders and dippers spotted on river whilst returning to start of an 11 mile walk. Revisited on 01/09/12 with the East Staffs. Ramblers on a walk from Alstonfield.

Walked quite a distance in the humid heat to try and find access to this trig point, but the closest we could get to it was about 0.25 mile. So we had to content ourselves with a view from the distant field. (Will upload photos when we return home on 21st August)

Nice spot on NT hill, but it's a 'there and back' visit from the south if you don't want to tresspass. Nice dales close by for a good round walk. Good condition, with plaque
