Took a drive out to visit some pubs and trigs around Furness starting off with this one. Parked up on the road to the west and walked up the path by the south side of the quarry. Trig soon comes into view. Mooched around a bit at the top and enjoyed the great views all around. Walked back down the same path back to the car and nipped into Ulverston for a fine beer at the Old Friends pub.

Due to go out to Foulney to clear the ground for terns, however the wardens were running 20 mins late and thus we had to abort due to the exceptional high tides. Retreated to Birkrigg to visit pillar and a pootle around a MapRun course. The pillar can be approached from the narrow lane circumnavigating the open access land. Lots of spots to park and lots of paths criss crossing the land. Gifted to a flask of Heinz tomato soup (sick man soup), always have a tin in the cupboard for cold, drizzly days. Comfort food.

A careworn pillar with chipped top and a knocked about feel to it. Nice spot though with easy access from the south. Pillar retains an original centre cap, deeply indented lettering; rear sight hole open. An adoption plate is affixed to the rear face. Extensive panorama of sea and landscapes.

Pillar adopted by Aldingham Parish Hall, April 1997. Column in fair condition, recently repaired and repainted. Spider retains OS centre cap with deep indented letters. Flush bracket faces SSW, ~193°. Vented through northmost sight hole. 360° panoramic view from top.

5/29 for the day. Again some great views - someone should lay a geocache around here!

Easy approach from SW across unfenced ground. The pillar was completed in May 1949 costing £6.0s.5½d. In 1950 this marker was computed as secondary station SD47/4 in the in Barrow-in-Furness block. Flush bracket S5374 was levelled for height in 1968. This trig point was last maintained by the OS in November 1976. Pillar in good condition. Spider retains OS centre cap with deep indented letters. Nice spot. Photographed 12/09/1990, GRP.

Pillar with remnants of white paint mounted on base. Picturesque picnic spot even though a bit windy. View to Leven Viaduct, Bigland and Chapel Island.
