(2918) Made use of the large parking area on Askwith Moor Road. Then walked the 300m or so N to the gate and the start of the track. Air was heavy today thanks to the recent burning of the heather. The pillar sits just off a straight track about 400m from the roadside in open access land, so getting to it is no problem. Pillar is in overall good condition. Centre cap is missing with a plastic replacement fitted. Nice extensive views at the location. RAF Menwith Hill visible in the distance - which reminded me of when the military police stopped me when I was trigging in the area a few years ago. Also visible was the comms mast near TP4420 - saving that beauty for better drier weather. Pillar history: Built on the 16th of November 1953, cost not listed in archive. Last maintained by the OS in June of 1986.

Another revisit to Askwith Moor, this time after having a fantastic spot of tea at The Queen's Head in Kettlesing. Access is as straightforward as you could ask for, parking on the grass verge opposite the (locked) gate. Quick hop over the gate and the trig and good track are all access land, so no problems. Pillar still in great, weathered condition and the views are wonderful. Pillar #29 for my little trigbagger.

HISTORY: Pillar completed 16th November 1953, no record of cost. Originally computed for triangulation as tertiary station SE38/T1 within the Harrogate secondary block during 1955. The flush bracket was levelled for height also in 1955. This station was fully maintained by the OS in June 1986. In 1987 this marker was refixed and upgraded to a secondary station, with new OSGB36 Number SE38/24 in computation block A001 as part of the North Central England Adjustment. The station name gained the suffix '(1985)' at this time. SITE VISIT: Approached from east. Parked by west side of Askwith Moor Road at SE174509 beside entrance to mapped track. Barbed wire on locked gate cut by some previous kind benefactor. Followed mapped track to trig which stands just south of the track. Whole route is on access land. Heather clad grazing top. Pillar in good condition. Spider centre capped with grey plastic disc fitted by Jon Rouse, 3/11/2002. Flush bracket faces north, ~2°. All four horizontal sight holes open, pillar bolt viewable. Full 360° panoramic view.

Log #95 300m. Parked up at the grit stores at Snowden Carr, then walked N along Askwith Moor Road to track gate below the trig. Now this area is Access land, so the gate shouldn't be locked, but it is, so had to climb over wall to RH of gate, and I hate doin' that as it's a No-No. This is wild, heather moorland, but the track up to the trig is metaled, so it's nice and dry. The views are fab from the trig. There are a number of carved stones around the moor and you can picture folks thousands of years ago carving them as they took in the scenery of a full 360 degrees: but today's visibility was only rated 'good' with the usual murk for distance viewing. Good views to Menwith Hill, Rombalds Moor, Ben Ridding, Almscliff Crag. Good view of Swinsty Resr from the track below the trig. Temp 9c, cloudy, but dry day. Distance from CP is .74 km, so the O&B walk was 1.4km. High score with views and trig condition.<br> 20-05-12 Have now reported the locked gate to Ramblers Central Office for further action.

Very little effort to bag this one. I was dropped off where track meets Askwith Moor Road, instead of having to walk up from parking place which is back towards Otley on opposite side. Pillar is 300 metres or so just off track. Wonderful moorland views all around (apart from that unsightly shed ). As I took the last of many photos my wife rang me informing me I would be picked up in 10 minutes time - which was nice !

An easy tig from Askwith Moor Road (there's even a parking place a couple of hundred yards south of the trig) but we came up from Addingham via Beamsley Beacon & Denton Moor and across the open moor - without too much trouble although it has been very dry. Pretty good views today across lower Wharfedale in the afternoon sunshine.

Easily approached along a track that leaves the high point of the road crossing the moor.
