Driving down to Peterborough for the Beer Festival so stopped off at a few "A1ish" Trigs. Easy to find, just parked up in Quarry entrance, back a few yards along the road, up the short flight of steps and it's there in a nice clearing. It seems to have some love as it's painted a nice white and the space around it has been cleared of brambles etc.. I tried to have a look at the derelict brick shelter like building close by, but it was too overgrown to get in. Back into the car and onto the next one.

Parked very close to the pillar on the road side. This one could be easily missed as it is almost concealed by the hedge. A convenient small gap gives a glimpse of the pillar and access to it. With views over farmland it is in generally good condition but the centre of the spider is missing.

No cap. On a bank behind a row of hawthorn and ivy. Up six steps on the east side of the road through the gap and three metres to the left. Visited ten days back with garden loppers, secateurs trowel and wire brush. Lots of gardening work ensued to clear ivy and hawthorn from either side of the steps and the mass of hanging ivy at the top that was down to about three feet from the ground. More clearing around the trig + opening up the view to the road. Wire brushed and scraped all the trig plus scraped and dug down a further 3-4cm round the base of the trig to below the sight holes and removed some ivy and nettle root. All six steps cleared of earth and ivy. Today, after a further vigorous wire brushing it was ready for re-painting. It had had an initial white coat of paint and a pale grey coat of thicker paint at some layer stage, seemingly decades ago as most had flaked off. New white coat today.

If you turn R at the top, there are the remains of a 1960's Cold War ROC (Royal Observer Corps) post, there's an unlocked steel lid to go down to the 'bunker'. On to Rigton Bank.

A final trig on a great socially-distant day out, the brilliant Bramham Moor. After my first bag last year, this revisit was much easier - we just nipped up the steps and through the hedge and back. As easy as hidden trigs get. Pillar #23 for my little companion, and she really enjoyed this one. The pillar is in fine condition, despite missing its cap. Back to base for a pint in the garden.

Interesting approach from quarry gates under low hanging bushes next to the brick building remnants. Seems quite popular this one given how good the track through the bracken is and how vegetation around the pillar has been cleared. But to have its own direct access steps - wow!

Parked up outside the (closed) quarry gates, and an obvious trod of flatted vegetation on the left leads through past an old ruined brick hut and under some hedge branches to the pillar. It is in fine condition, and has what looks like a popular and comfortable spot. After photos, we noticed that there is a gap in the hedge behind the pillar, with 'steps' cut into the embanked verge; from the road it became obvious that this is the alternative way to reach the pillar, perhaps when the quarry is open.

An easy diversion off the A1, I memorised map to locate trig but looked on wrong side of quarry entrance for pillar. A guy from the quarry walked up to the gates to see what I was up to and showed me the way up to the pillar. We had a chat about minerals in different parts of the UK ( and Northern France ) and he told me that the limestone quarried here was used at York Minster. I noticed that there is a small car park outside the gates - opposite side of the entrance to the pillar. As we drove back up Warren Lane I noted that the pillar could be observed through the hedge. Quite extensive views from here.

Located but only with the help of the comments from others. Finding the brick steps was the most difficult thing and then forcing a way up them through the hawthorn hedge. Once at the top turn left and the pillar is there. Pillar is in remarkably good condition apart from the missing plug which seems to have gone walk abouts. Not the best of locations though and not a moor as I know it!
