This TP should not be visited in the summer given that it's surrounded by a neck high crop and is difficult to spot even when only a few metres away. Spent a long time searching in hedgerows for it before bowing to the inevitable and getting very hot and sticky.

Just been for a couple of caches in The Wyre Forest and now for a couple of trigs! Can't be a bad thing to do on your birthday! Anyway, this pillar is now almost invisible as its wheat field's crop is almost on a level with its top! Access is easy - just walk into the field off the dead-end lane and follow a tractor track through the wheat. The plug is original with deeply-indented letters. S sighthole open, the others closed. Quite a pile of stones piled up around the pillar. No paint. Lovely views all round.

Parked within sight of trig and walked over field. Farmer appears to be creating his own mini trig from the pile of stones there.

Glaslyn if you passed a muddy blue Oktavia on the roads that was me. I wondered if a log would appear here as there were two distinct pairs of tracks through the frost to the trig in addition to mine.
