There is a faint path leading directly to the TP from the road. I didn't take that as the nicely mown patch at the top of the hill looked a better bet. I was ripped to shreds by brambles, half of my clothing now hangs from bushes. I came back via the aforementioned path looking like one of the undead.

Approached by road from south west through Ubley and Nempnett Thrubwell, then east at the intersection of five roads. Pulled over after about a mile to check map, no sign of pillar so tried going on further east but lost too much height so turned around and came back uphill again. Decided to get some help as getting late in the day. Needed a bit of hunting. Onto grassy verge and uphill, trees and brambles block the way to the east. Down hill a little to south east through thinner vegetation then north east along fence boundary. At north east corner of fence could see pillar at top of open field beside the fence about 50 metres to north east. Over fence for couple of quick photographs. Good views to south east towards Chew Valley Lake. Spider and cap in place. Raised S Prefix. Possibly someone’s garden. Noted slight lean, thought it might be my photographs taken in haste.

Path off the wide grassy verge by Breach Hill Lane leads through the brambles to a gate into a steep hillside field. Pillar a few metres to the right of the gate, in good condition and with a fantastic view of the lake.

Parking to the SW on the large grass verge - easy stroll back along from there, one gate to hop over. Pillar is located about 20m to the right, as mentioned, good condition apart from a bit of a lean, nice views over the lake.

Definitely the easiest one of the day so far! Parked on verge at N51° 20.261' W2° 39.299' then along track to gate N51° 20.315' W2° 39.206', over gate and along very rutted field to trigpoint. Easy.

Parking on wide grass verge on minor road to SW, short walk along grassy track to trig. Pillar found to have a pronounced backwards lean to it, hence marking it 'Slightly Damaged'. Original cap, lightly indented lettering; rear sight hole open; BSM-style FB. Hazy views E & S to Mendips and Chew Valley Lake.

Thank goodness for this trig after visiting Dundry. My faith has been restored. After a pleasant drive through the country lanes from Dundry through Winford and Regil before turning left towards Chew Stoke. The road passes through an area of unfenced pasture and just before it drops through the trees park up and take a wide path on the south side of the road that heads up to a metal gate. The trig is in the field on the right, you might see it through the tress. It has a wonderful vista over Chew Valley Lake and the Mendip escarpment. Although having the tiniest backwards lean this trig is in very good condition. The best of the day, thank goodness I left it to last. Now, best get on. Roast Dinner on the table.

The pillar is sited at the top of a field grazed by sheep next to the fence to the woods of Breach Hill Common. It is leaning toward the fence (hence slightly damaged log ); has a metal plug with shallow lettering and FB BsM 3263. The pillar looks out to the southeast across Chew Valley Lake to the partially wooded foothills of the Mendips.

Theres a bit of a parking spot at the top of the hill then follow a faint track north east and you'll see the trig just the other side of the fence. Good view of Chew Valley Lake. Plug with indented lettering.

A bit further north on the lane towards Chew Stoke is an obelisk, if you are into logging anything pointing skyward.
