Lancaster Castle to York Minster Walk. (Day 6 Middlesmoor to Pateley Bridge). Sunny day walk down the east side of Gouthwaite Res to reach Wath and then a steep detour .Mislaid my map so ended up heading uphill before reaching the gate straight onto moorland. What I did get was a superb view up the Nidderdale valley which disappeared as I approached the pillar.Steep descent down Silver Hill.

Parked up in front of a gate on Wath Lane, and quickly found that there is a well-worn trod all the way from the gate straight to the pillar; no need to follow the wall etc. The whole hillside is a giant rabbit warren, so watch your ankles. The pillar sits on a little rise, with beautiful views, and is in excellent condition despite the open cap.

Visible and easily accessible on track crossing Open Access land. Came up from the road using the gate a few hundred yards to the west of the farm and just followed the tractor tracks to it. Pillar is in good condition and a nice location. Lovely views today made all the better by the purple heather.

Back in Pateley Bridge (via the Dalesbus) after Ouster Bank & Sandy Hill earlier (was going to walk via Kettlestang Hill but was strapped for time) but with time to spare in Pateley decided to give this one a go. Another steep rise to Wath Lane. The gate Rad mentions is just before the road bends, approx 400 yards west of Somerset House, thereafter either follow the obvious track leading slighty left uphill or follow the walls. The signs at the gate say this is now access land - no dogs allowed. Fairly decent view from the trig - Im amazed no-ones mentioned that its set atop an absolutely huge rabbit warren
