My 500th trig & almost a trig too far...Pass thro' the academy gates & park on the curving access road to the right of the reservoir. With the academy on your right, follow the path to head left aound the perimeter fencing to locate the gap created by the missing slat. Passing thro' the gap, with the perimeter fencing to your left proceed straight on to the trig situated in a corner behind the mast. Inquisitive as to a different approach, thro' the gap in the wall to the left of the perimeter fencing? Squirming & slithering like a snake I finally made a final lunge forward to free my legs & feet of the gap onto the grass banking...Little did I know the grass banking, only a coupl'a feet wide, terminated in a sheer 6 foot drop. Somehow I managed to control the forceful lunge forward & prevent myself from toppling 'head first' over the wall but not without suffering some shin injury...Four days on the cuts, bruising & knee swelling testify to a lucky escape. The moral of this short tale...Seems us 'trig baggers' will go to the 'ends of the earth' to 'bag' a trig without really considering the inherent dangers we perhaps put ourselves in...No trig is worth sustaining severe personal injury for. Having surpassed the gap in the wall, no the trig point was not accessible from this route, you're left outside the perimeter fencing needing to climb the wall/fence corner for access.

First visit since re-location of pillar. Parked in Broad Lane and walked up footpath opposite house number 470 near Beacon Pub. Pillar is very close to mast now and about 64 metres from its original location, thoughtfully placed with flush bracket facing path. Thanks to all concerned. Someone has attempted to bend one of the railings close to the pillar but not yet wide enough for an adult to gain access. A very misty day with no views of the Aire valley. Condition now covers 3 categories, strictly speaking.

Taken by putting camera through railings and using same to provide support when taking photo.

Not wide enough !!
A stepping-stone maybe; for someone with very long legs and brave enough to attempt climbing over the security fence ?

We had a great time here. Happy to report that access is still very easy - my route from a couple of years ago still holds, the fence has not been repaired and you can still get hands on to the pillar with a minimum of fuss. Pillar is in good condition, and pleasingly the OS plaque is still intact. Pillar #69 for DD.

Could have been very tricky to access but followed BasilDowl's excellent map and it was very easy. However, the gap in the steel fence does limit the girth of visitors. Don't have an extra piece of cake before this one. Not a great position but satisfying to bag when its so tucked away.

Revisit to a local trig. Further construction work is ongoing within the reservoir compound but does not seem likely to affect the pillar. A temporary fence, enclosing a spoil heap, obstructs access from the unused part of the site. Good views of the Aire valley - out of reach.

I parked on Broad Lane and walked up the Academy/mast access road. Having read other descriptions of the way in, it appears that the route previously used (as described by srichy 24/03/15) has been been fenced off. I found another way in: starting at the Academy car park, take the footpath/track heading round the reservoir, with the school on your right, and it then turns left - and in front of you, as the path follows the wall and turns right again - is a section of fence that has been damaged. The wall has a bar fence, which is topped by barbed wire, but for the 6ft closest to the reservoir fence, the barbed wire has gone and there is a bar missing from the fence. If you're not reasonably svelte the squeeze through the bars could become an indelicate climb over, but either way you're soon into a field of long grass and a clear trod straight to the pillar. The trig is in excellent shape and going by the grass treading, clearly gets a few visitors. Great fun.

The old way in...??? ... has recently been boarded up. The vegetation on the narrow route between wall and fence was almost impassible; it had been similarly boarded up at the other end.

(1339) Still early, but getting increasingly warm. Parked up by the shops on Broad Lane, and walked around the edge of the reservoir. 'Secret' route to get inside the compound is still available, though the pillar is located very close to the fence, and thus all is readily visible. Looks in fine condition, and sporting a OS plaque. On the way back to the car, I did spot other people within the compound, not workers by the look of it. Maybe the locals know of other additional ways in?

Haven't seen this particular wording before "This monument is no longer a coordinated survey marker. If found damaged, please contact us at [email protected] Thank you". Good to see that the trig has survived the reservoir works.

I cant believe it is nearly 4 years since I took a look at this one. After reading other entries re. successful attempts to reach the pillar I decided to have another go. Parked in Granhamthorpe and took the short path through to the recreation ground. The trick is to head for the mast near where the perimeter fence has been widened. The gap looks much narrower than it actually is but I slipped through easily. Views from here are surprisingly good for an urban location. I had heard some adverse publicity about Bramley but the playing field was almost litter-free and the adjoining park looked very attractive. Well, that is the last visit before we go home tomorrow. I have now visited more pillars in West Yorkshire than I have in my home county of Kent, perhaps I should get out more !

From the inside When I came here in 2007 I considered this view would be impossible to attain !

Within the reservoir compound. Id read about the gap in the fence, but I must have gone to the wrong side, and ended up just climbing over the fence, using the wall just south of the mast. It was a lot easier then I thought. I managed to find the gap on the way out. Its in the northwest corner by the mast, and next to a bench. The trig is in good condition, and looks like it has a good view. But again, it was dark.

Revisit. Tight post-Christmas squeeze through the railings. Plug replaced by plastic cover which has been broken (burnt?) through. All sighting-holes open. Foggy, no views.

Used the convenient broken fence panel to get access, watch out for the bit of sharp metal sticking out of the top of the wall though, I got caught on it and tore a hole in the arse of my trousers, I had to bag the trig, climb back over the wall and then walk all the way back to the car with my arse hanging out. :( Cracking views from the top of the surrounding area though.

Didn't have time to try to find a way into the reservoir compound and didn't fancy risking the barbed wire, especially with a footie match to go to! Pillar is easily visible from the edge of the compund.

Took the advice of Slaintejimmy and did not attempt the fence. The fence seems to have been topped with barbed wire since pictures have been take - presumably because of it's urban location.

Parked in housing estate and walked over to reservoir fence. Pillar is near perimeter and visible - looks to be in good condition as far as one can tell. May try this again as I hear there is a gap in fence somewhere. Good views of distant fells.

Don\'t fence me in !
Visible but unreachable !
Wonderful view

Stone wall turns a corner by the mast and abuts a metal fence. The wall is climbable here and the trig can be seen along the top of the bank.

A well protected trig behind a stone wall and metal fence topped with barbed wire. Didn't fancy losing dangly bits on barbed wire so climbed on wall to take photo on the right side of the law. Trig can be seen easily near the entrance to the telecoms mast.

There are definitely no gaps in the fence now. As mickandshane I climbed over next to the mast wall.

I live about 600 yards from this one, very busy evening and I'm well know in the area so I didn't have the nerve to climb the fence.

All fence panels now restored and no gaps large enough for me to squeeze through. I climbed over the wall where it abuts the mast compound - not too difficult. Plug with indented lettering.

One of the fence panels is now completely missing so access was easy - at least for the time being.

Bramley Resr A gap in the fence big enough for me!

on SW corner of secure(ish) fenced resr, vgc, broken resin plug, good view. 2013 update: following demolition of the old resr, the pillar has been relocated "just within the site boundary where it can be seen from the park". FB is to be removed by the OS. Well done Trigpoint100 for lobbying the contractors.

Can't get to this one. It's on top of a covered reservoir. Whne we were kids we used to climb the wall all the time to play on the top. now the buggers have erected a 10ft fence around the place. I should have logged the number 35 years ago when I had the chance :)))
