Parked in lay by full of fly tip waste close to the start of the oil track path. Nice easy start along the track with only a short section which is moderately steep to the summit. Great views but didn’t linger for long as it was fairly breezy!

Walked on the footpath past Beaver Farm (who had some very impressive poultry) and onto the open moor opposite Lumb Laithe Fm. Turned out to be a great day on the tops; temperature just right for walking, good visibility and the ground not too soggy. My walking mate Colin was ex NFU and knew a story for every farm we could see. Descended via the Abbot Stone.

Had a good run up from South Wales and had parked up at SD 91487 33775 before 1pm. Walked along the track which was built in 1962 by the Continental Oil Company of Texas who were granted permission to drill for oil in the area. Stayed on the track will the drill site at SD 92685 34740 before heading up the path to Lad Law. Nice to be on top of a Marilyn again after so long! Left wondering if the whole trig had been painted red at one stage as well as the FB.

Walked in from the track to the SW of the Pillar. Leaving the Widdop Moor road we were fortunate to see a Goldern Plover defending her chicks, a lovely start to the walk out. I could not help but notice the amount of wonderful dressed stone that had been dumped on the side of the track and it would appear used to form the foundation of the track at some of the many gully crossings. Seemed like a waste of good dressed stone!! Good path from the end of the track upto Lad Law. Excellent 360 views from the pillar and certainly we spent a moment or two picking landmarks out. Pillar still looking splendid in its recent White coat of paint. Like the red on the FB...makes reading the number in the photo pics easy. Done with PL.

KJ Gloriously sunny day and walked up to the end of the Oil Road before following the clear track which after the recent good weather was springy and bouncy rather than a squelchy plod. Very easy climb to whitewashed trig which was glaringly white in the sunshine and what we are told was the Slaughter Stone which we sat on to eat lunch. Good moorland views all round with Pendle Hill prominent.

Bagged this pillar on a 13 mile circular from Laneshawbridge, along Pendle Way through Wycoller, Towards Coldwell Inn and back through Trawden. Boulsworth Hill didn't look very interesting until we reached the top where there are lots of interesting rocks and we could see snow covered hills way in the distance up the Yorkshire Dales. It is VERY boggy up there, so some bits were a struggle but well worth it.

Finally got around to bagging this one, always been an over looked hill for me. I bagged it on a circular walk from Colne railway station via the Trigs on Shelfield Farm, and Extwistle Moor. A tough but great hike! You can follow a detailed write up and route of this hike by typing Fell Finder into Google.

Came up concessionary path from Spouty Lumb to the north so pillar is easily accessible. Following the recent re-paint by painterman61 the pillar is now highly visible too. This is a wonderful view point but today the clouds had rolled in during my ascent so they were somewhat restricted today. Pillar has some slight damage to the top but now looks in wonderful condition.

Also found anglo saxon writing hlad hleow on the so called druids slaughter stone 20m south of trig near 2nd stile i think this is over 2000 yrs old the writting is on the flat surface on the top edge.

You can see Blackpool Tower from this trig. But not today!! A misty, claggy climb up from Wycoller en route to Shelfield. This pillar has rounded corners - very cuddly. The cloud parted on the way down to reveal a spectacular glimpse of the Forest of Trawden spread out below. It made the climb worthwhile.

I don't usually log re-visits, but as records suggest this trig dates from 13/4/36, I thought I should try and visit it as close as possible to its 70th birthday as I could - circumstances dictated I was one day late. This was a delightful walk, with glorious weather and a superb view - from the Irish Sea to the Dales. Magnificent.

Lad Law on Boulsworth Hill. Came up from the south (having passed Widdop Reservoir) along a track running east (right) from the road. The track ends and what looks like bikers tracks disappear to the left up the moor towards the trig. The tops been newly fenced off (but with stiles). Lovely view from the top across the Lanky/Yorky border moorland and to Pendle Hill. I liked it up here but after the heavy rain it was very moist. Done on a Hebden Bridge to Haworth meander.
