Approached from the south, parked on the university campus, lots of restrictions and signs but loads of spaces at the time so took a chance, parked by accommodation block at north east side. Up footpath, emerges onto golf course. Headed towards higher ground, around the east side of a reservoir compound and then north west. Pillar came into view on top of bank in uncut area of grass (rough). Views limited by surrounding trees. Cap missing. Raised S prefix. No golfers about at the time.

Hard slog up an old quarry tramway from Bathampton but easily found next to 13th tee. Seems to have gained a lump of limestone as a neighbour since last photo taken. Golfers not particularly perturbed by Trignerd.

#39 'trig' of the trip. #24 Pillar. Managed to park in the university and didn't have to pay as it was a Sunday. Trig is just off the bridleway that runs across the top of the golf course. Trig point is behind 13th tee no thicket anymore. Look for the two upright rusty posts and the trig point is just behind there and not far off the path.

Bath is far too hilly! This TP is just off a bridleway on a golf course in a clump of scrub. I got told off by a golfer for "disappearing" off the path. "you would be in trouble if you got hit by a golf ball. And so would we!" he told me. TP rather average. Sharp exit off golf course down signed bridleways. No9 out of 10 for today.

A night walk from the nearby youth hostel where I was staying. Again I was very glad I had an accurate grid reference programmed into the GPS which took me straight to it. There was snow in the bunkers as I walked accross the golf course.
