Parked along Kirk Dl and followed the footpath up a field, over two stiles and towards a barbed wire fence. It seems that the fence has slightly changed the footpath location (compared to my OS map) meaning the stile to get over the fence is now much lower down the field. At this point we ended up walking around 3 edges of the field in order to hop over a gate to the fields where the trig was located. The trig itself, as others have mentioned, has been toppled and moved to the side of the field. For our return trip, we found a section of wooden fence which could be climbed over (marked on my route in green). This does have barbed wire, so beware/come prepared. Alternatively just walk down the field to get to the stile.

Following an eight mile hike out of Youlgrave with no trig points along its route except for the church, I spent the afternoon trigbagging, clocking up another seven miles in short hikes and an equal number of trigs including 6 of the Peak District 88 pillars. I parked on a side street and passed through an open gate to follow the walls and more open gates to the pillar. Judging by the GPS on OS maps the pillar has been moved no more than a few metres to where it is now laid next to the wall. Apart from the obvious it is in otherwise good condition and retains the original centre for the spider. Good views.

Parked on a road to the north west. Took the public right of way (PRoW) up a steep hill. Climbed over a stile into a field to the right and then continued along the PRoW. Climbed over a another stile to the right and then headed south west to the end of the field, where there is a very tall stone wall topped by barbed wire. Walked right along the line of the wall until I reached a wooded fence. Climbed over the fence, and then walked left to a gate, which I climbed over into the field where the pillar can be found along a wall on its side. It is very close to where it once stood. It has damage to the top close to the spider, and it was evidently toppled by being accidently hit by a tractor or other farm machinery. The pillar, as others have pointed out, could easily be reinstated.

I approached from the footpath and up the field boundary which brought me out exactly in line with the Trig but on the wrong side of the wall. The high wall was topped with two strands of barb-wire so I elected not to try and get across it but satisfied myself by touching the pillar with my walking pole. It was sad to see it lying on it's side but it looked like it was having a nice rest in the sunshine.

On a pedal via Monyash telephone box to pick a book or two up. Approached this trig from the S and a straight line through two fields to an intact trig, sadly on its side. It would be so good to reinstate it! Gifted to the many handsome bulls out in the fields at the moment, girls and offspring in tow. A bit of bling through the nose, adds to the "bad boy" look...some attitude there.

Climbed a couple of walls on the way up from the footpath at SK181680. Took a nicer route down (had David on my back) to the road at about SK181674.
