(Revisit) A wet, grey day for a swampy trek across Ilkley Moor. We walked from the road at Spicey Gill across Wicken Tree Crag and up to the pillar - a revisit for me and pillar #95 for my little trigbagger. Pillar is heavily weathered and a bit battered and bruised but is still standing strong. Views intermittent through the hill fog. We returned the same way and had a pint by the fire in The Flying Duck to warm up.

Parked on Ilkley Road. Took the excellent footpaths from the end of that road up to the pillar, which takes you past the communications mast at Whetstone Gate, and one of the Stanza Stones (the Puddle Stones) along the way. There are chunks missing from two of the top corners of the pillar, and around one of the spider arms. Great views from the pillar all around, including of the 'golf balls' at RAF Menwith Hill, of which there are now 37 in total! RAF Menwith Hill is the worlds largest electronic monitoring station.

A very steep climb out of Ilkley but once I reached the moor proper, I found myself immersed in this wonderful landscape. A flagstone path takes one all the way to the TP which is just as well as it is pretty soggy up there. The highest point on the moor and to date the highest pillar I have visited.

Rombalds Moor A wild and lonely place. But quite beautiful.

Given the dire warnings of venturing onto Ilkley Moor without a hat I was sure to wear mine today. It was the first cold day of autumn with a stiff northerly breeze,but that was ok because it was clear and bright with great visibility. Approached the top from Whetstone Gate and appreciated the flagstone path given how wet it was to the sides. Extra interest was provided by the Thimble Stones and poetry on the Stanza Stones. I was surprised to find out they were written by a Poet Laureate; I would have guessed it was by a local schools poem competition winner .

Drove over to do Ilkley Moor fell race, tons of mud, but become the norm this winter. The FRA are 50 years old this year and encouraging people to participate and do at least 15 races off a pre-selected 50 list. Impossible to do all 50 since some races clash. Nice way of doing some new ones. Done a bit on Rombalds Moor, but never a fell race. Did a circular walk from Wells Road to visit this trig column (upper part is chipped). It is dedicated to all the FRA committee past/present who keep this sport alive. We have a wealth of experience amongst the runners and they dont get paid a sausage. For the love of the sport. Chilled to the bone today.

Well the trig's ok but the moor from Whetstone Gate to the pillar has been trashed, even some of the flags have been moved. Looks like some sort of (motor) bike 'event' has taken place between the road/track and the pillar with sections of huge, wide, deep ruts in the moorland. There must be places where landowners let you desecrate moorland legally but some scumbags just don't give a sh*t! Latest of innumerable visits, and sadly the most depressing.

One of the best walks on Ilkley Moor I've ever done, at last visiting the moody Twelve Apostles. Hopefully go back soon, good luck to anyone caught up in the storms.

Menwith in the distance, views are great today, Wolds and Hambleton Hills, Great Whernside, Pendle, Dark Peak and West Yorkshire. Staying grey and stormy over the Three Peaks.

Walked up and round from Ilkley - a bit of a slog on a bleak, dank and slightly wet Friday tea-time (in mid-May!). Trig in good condition with concrete plug and missing OS plaque - one of the original 'class 1' Primary trigs from the 1930's and as such deserves respect. A bit misty but local landmarks still visible. Excellent views down into Ilkley on the way up and way back.

A great trig. Came up from Ilkley via Ilkley Crags and the Dales Way Link and approached from east. If you can save this for a clear day like today I would...I could see for 50 miles, to the east the three mighty power stations of the Aire, the disused one near Doncaster, the Yorkshire Wolds, Menwith Hill, Bardon Moor, Pendle Hill, Leeds, Bradford, the snow covered Dales to name but a few. Trig has v slight damage on top and someone has nicked the OS plaque. Followed the now newly paved path towards the masts to the W and then followed the road and canal eventually to Crossflats and the train home. In short, this is trigbagging at its very best.

Easily accessible and very visible. I approached on well walked mooland path from Whetstone Gate passing radio mast along the way. This is Gods own country. Pillar and moor belongs to me [together with about 300,000 other Bradford Council Tax payers!]. Pillar in good condition considering the number of hands and feet that must touch it in any one year. Glorious heather clad moorland views. [Photos from a visit on 27 December 2008]

Walked up from White Wells car park, avoiding the threat of mud by following the gps directly across the moor. Snow, sunshine, wind strong enough to blow gps off trig.

A much better day than that of my previous visit in January. Today I actually got a view - and quite a good one. However conditions under foot were no better - the usual wall to wall 'slutch' around the trig point and its approaches.

Most recent of a number of visits, came today across from Silsden - the weather wasn't too bad today and visibility was reasonable so the photos show an inprovement from the visit on 05.02.2006. Further comments are from the March 2004 visit. ----- There's a fairly decent walk on Rombald's Moor if you just go high on the moor to avoid the 'plastics'. If you leave the trig and head towards the radio mast beware the bog that has been really compounded by the moronic mountain bikers.

Revisited on the way to Wicking Crag (a non-pillar station - see photos).

Rombalds Moor - view across Wharfedale towards Menwith Hill.
Wicking Crag - map Wicking Crag is marked with a triangulation station symbol on the OS Keighley and Ilkley Sheet SE 04/14 Pathfinder 671 1:25000 1983 edition, at SE129434. It doesn't appear on any more recent maps and is not in the Passive Station database.
Wicking Crag - the location is on Bingley Moor, approx 1.5 miles SE of the Rombalds Moor pillar and is hardly a crag - just a scattering of small gritstone outcrops. The site is quite easy to find - follow the right of way between Rombalds Moor and the Bingley Road to a point roughly mid-way between two stiles in the boundary wall. Then aim west for the local high point. Good views including Almscliff Crag in Wharfedale and Wainman's Pinnacle in Airedale, both of which are also marked on older maps as non-pillar trig stations.
Wicking Crag - the station is a bolt, just over 1" diameter, set in a boulder. The remains of flaking white marker make it easy to identify.

My first Marilyn & trig. Grew up in Ilkley & roamed all over the moor. Distinctly remember the trig. but can't recall the condition, but must have been good in those days. Estimated date.
