Parked on woodhouses lane then crossed road and followed tractor lines straight to pillar in top field edging. Flush bracket facing into other field but easy enough to get through small gap at this time of year to get to it. Trig in good condition with all its metal work

A second one today that I'd not realised I'd already been on 7/9/14. This time deep dusk with more gardening and air dry clay cast of FB that faces north. Cleared more of the gap to get through. Found next morning, I'd left my secateurs in the dark. Returned two days later for two more days trigging. They were exactly where I thought they'd be..!!

Access from B1202, follow line through centre of field between two different crops. Trig point well hidden by hedge and undergrowth but located directly ahead following line between crops. Flush plate is on far side, squeeze through hedge to see it.

(362) Finding somewhere to park close to the trig was difficult today, so eventually had to settle for a spot next to the Village Hall, which meant getting there and back involved a decent walk. I also took the opportunity to call in at Field House Farm and then Carr-Dyke Farm to ask about permission to visit the pillar. The landowner wasn't about, but both neighbours said it wouldn't be a problem. It's then another good walk following the hedge line to the pillar. And as the hedge is pretty solid throughout, it's worth making sure that you have picked the right field side to walk down in order to view the FB. Previous logs certainly helped out there. A few hairline cracks are visible but nothing too major. I had thought this one would be difficult to bag, but all in all, it passed off well.

On way to see uni mate in Horncastle and BBMF show at RAF Conningsby. First of four for the day. Straightforward to find in hedge line opposite Mere Oaks Farm. Trig has hairline crack all round 1 foot up from the ground, it can be seen in stonestreaker's photo, 10/7/2013. Extensive views to the E.

Parked in lane opposite Mere Oaks Farm. Walked across road and along hedge to east of farm and across field to trig. In luck today the field is still stubble so not so much of a problem.

Plug intact. Hedge trig with flush bracket facing N. Approached from W via track. Overcast day. The converted Water Tower at Potterhanworth is remarkable.

FB on north side. Pretty good condition but superficial crack around base. Have given it a 20 min hawthorn haircut so one can squeeze through and access the flush bracket even if coming from the south side as I did

Not the easiest one to reach. A joint visit with Carole. We approached from the east by crossing a small strip of cultivated land - we managed to tiptoe through without damaging any of the crops. We then followed the south side of the hedge only to find that the pillar is on the north side. This meant a crawl through the hedge. So best to use the north side of the hedge but this will involve a deep ditch crossing immediately after the cultivated strip. Everything in good order and still retains an original plug.

On N side of hedge. Access via field to N involves crossing a deep ditch from the road into the field.

Crops and the proximity of house prevented my reaching this on my 1st visit. On this visit no one about and no crop problems.

I walked the hedge line from the B1190 NE of the pillar, but this hedgeline doesn't quite reach the road - there was a strip of small cabbages to carefully step through first. The NE sighthole is the only one open.

My Landranger map seems to show this pillar in a slightly different location and as such it took me half-an-hour to locate it. It's in a hedge between two fodder fields. All intact - plug has deeply indented letters. Some white paint. NE sighthole open, the others closed. Moderate agricultural views - it was a bit murky today so I couldn't see the cathedral [or even the floodlights on Sincil Bank....].

Perhaps is should have taken more notice of 'froginabog' about it's position, although the field was not too muddy (cycled across field), I was still on the wrong side for the flush bracket when coming off the B1190. Managed to climb/crawl through the hedge to the other side though (see picture). Trig point is in good condition, sight holes plugged.

Using binoculars I spotted the pillar in a hedge at the back of the field. I trekked across the large and very muddy field to find that I was on the wrong side of the pillar! There was no way I could get through the hawthorn hedge, though a smaller person might manage. I had to back track and drive round to the side of the field. Walked half a mile through another very muddy field, climbing through two hedges along the way. The pillar is whole, but no longer white. Nice views towards the Lincolnshire Wolds and Lincoln Cathedral. Arrived home to find this pillar is definitely missing. Spooky, it is nearly Halloween so maybe I have seen a ghost pillar.

Pillar nowhere to be seen where indicated on Streetmap, just one large ploughed field. Probably removed for convenience of farmer. So we are short-sighted and don't have the benefit of GPS. Pleased you found it , now have to make another visit. Found on second visit and re-evaluated.
