After an 11 mile hike, I was pretty knackered by the time I reached this one. So didn't enjoy as much as I perhaps should have done. The pillar is in a great location, is in decent nick and directly on a footpath which is always my favourite.

Parked below Castle Naze Rocks on Cowbar Lane at SK 05182 78620. Steep walk up to rocks - worth a walk along base to look if you like rocks - then from L end of rocks walk up to top and follow faint path to left. Although the path is faint and appears to be going perpendicular to the direction of the pillar, stick with it and it swings round and right past the target. Pleasant views but not spectacular.

Weather forecast showed rain and feeling like 1°C, so wrapped up well, however the rain mainly held off. Underfoot was pretty squelchy and some snow lingered on the moors. A shame that by the time I reached the tops mist/fog came down, spoiling the views.

Parked in a lay-by near Bank Hall Farm on Cowlow Lane. Took the path up to the Iron Age Fort at Castle Naze, which Involves a very steep climb. Then walked along short edge (which is literally a cliff edge and needs to be walked carefully in the very windy conditions I encountered, to avoid literally being blown off the cliff!) and Hob Tor up to the pillar. I was astonished to find that I could see the Cat & Fiddle from the pillar! This was the sixth on my Buxton 7 trig pillar challenge

Ran up via Corbar Hill (said hello to an old friend), onto Combs Moss to the trig and back via Lightwood reservoirs. Trig overlooks Dove Holes, once described to me as the "arm pit of the county". A bit harsh. The views are far more superior/dramatic on the western edges. I gift this trig to Walsh fell shoes, once one of the only two shoes geared towards fell runners. In my opinion they are still the best shoe on the market and made in this country.

Visited on a clear day doing a half circuit of Combs Moss. Good views E. Start point Lightwood Road in Buxton where paths through the bracken from the waterworks give easy access to the hilltop. If you follow the wall across Combs Head be careful of the drainage ditch next to the trodden path which is overgrown and invisible in places and could lead to sludge covered feet or a wrenched ankle.

Back to car across non-access land, but asked permission of farmer in field who was trapping voles, a pest to the sheep. Back to car to park in Buxton for the next 4 trigs.

Straightforward navigation from Corbar Hill following an obvious trod along the Eastern perimeter of Combs Moss. Stopped for a while at Flint Clough just listening to the water rushing off the hillside. Brilliant white pillar first becomes visible from the 506m spot height. Pillar is in good order with all four sight holes open and original metal cap. Great 360 views with rolling hills in all directions.

The second of two trigpoints on a route taken from “Peak District Trigpointing Walks”. Walked over from Corbar Hill – lots of snow about with drifting – if there were any paths they were deep in snow forcing me into the heather and bogs. Decided to put my gaiters on after my boots had filled with snow. Very hard going – no footprints to follow – had to be very careful streams were covered and it was easy to sink deep into boggy ground. Great 360 deg views from the trigpoint with some blue sky and little wind. Continued on the suggested route along Hob Tor, Short Edge and Combs Edge. Had great difficulty finding any kind of path in the snow making this a very difficult route in these conditions – only eight miles but it just about pushed me to the limit.

Interesting route from Chapel Station, (where that you may ask), and Castle Naze, (Pinnacle Arete May 1978 if you ask) and around the edge. Views enhanced by the fact that you look OVER Dove Holes rather than at it. Tempted to add another mark for the excuse to revisit the Beehive.

Nice 11 mile walk around the moor bagging Black Edge and Corbar Hill trigs. Then drove to and bagged The Cloud trig and then drove to Mow Cop trig. Good weather.

Done as part of a Castleton to Buxton walk. Low score due to being in cloud at the time. On to Corbar

Parked at the back of White Hall & took footpath up to Combs Edge following the broken wall round the moor edge to 2 small buildings. Picked up the track leading East past the grouse butts & then followed path by broken wall heading SE before turning N along the edge to the trig. About an hour each way.

Walked up from Corbar trig. I had planned a full days trig pointing but only managed two in the end. Felt like I had no energy for some reason.

Fine all round views although the sights of nearby quarries did little to enhance them

Trig has a white coat of paint and was easily visible on a circular from Buxton. The views were outstanding on a very pleasant day's ramble.

Breezy and cold, but clear views. Trig is in good condition. For those visiting on a circular, the path starts (or finishes) at Castle Naze (SK 05205 78634) and follows the wall all the way around Combs Moss to "Round The Bend" (SK 03690 75839) where you can join the Midshires Way - much easier than cutting across the Moss!

I approached from Lightwood Reservoir (note reservoir has now gone) then along ridge on peaty path. However a much better approach and more rewarding would be to start at SK052785 on the minor road, climb up to Castle Naze Hill Fort then along the edge of the ridge via Short Edge and Hob Tor. There is a peaty path through the heather which is easy to follow.

Shown on landranger maps, but not the more recent Outdoor Leisure series. It's still there, though!
