A revisit around sunset in the snow to get some good photos of this local trigpoint, and finally log it. I walked up from Mossley as usual, slightly further than from the back road but the most scenic way. Temperatures in the minus range, but superb views.

(2732) Parked on Lane Head Road as it widens slightly - I wasn't aware of the layby further up until after visiting. Then over the gate and up the empty field taking a straight line to the pillar. Visible from some distance away, its not until you reach the top of the ridge, that the views eastward suddenly appear. A bit of a 'wow' moment. Pillar looking quite smart thanks to its patriotic paint job. All metalwork present and correct. Pillar history: Built on the 14th of May 1940, at a cost of £4 2s 9d. Last maintained by the OS in February of 1980.

Parked on Stamford Street. Took the public right of way (PRoW) from there. Left the PRoW near a cross (known as the 'Mossley Cross') by climbing over a stile into the trig field. Then headed for the summit and the pillar. The Hartshead Pike Tower, which is an intersected station, can be seen from the pillar.

Walked N from Hartshead Pike (luckily both are on the Tameside Trail), but I have a feeling I need to return to visit the Billy Goat pub - great name. Not familiar with this area. Using Greater Manchester Transport extensively to complete trails on Dark Peak map, makes life so easy, so I gift them todays trigs.

Metal plug [indented letters]. Private [owner unknown]. Not on Access Land [the true Brown Edge], but located on grassy knoll in pasture just above. Fortunately, there is a public footpath into the field with the trig in it, so access is pretty easy. From the road, take the RoW beside the Billy Goat pub.

Good views in most directions, especially towards the east. Not far from the Mossley Cross, erected in 1994 with funding from all the christian church denominations in Mossley. No cars, on foot!

Original plug intact. Trig on a public path. Best views are to the east over Mossley and to Saddleworth's Chew Valley. Bagged on a walk from Park Bridge Heritage Centre via Hartshead Pike on what was the hottest day of the year so far.

It made an interesting triangular bike ride using the recommended horse route from Freizland via Bishop Park. Views poor because of the murky day - and the pylons - but the drop down into the gorge of Brookbottom (?)was impressive

I didn't make any notes on this one. I think it was in a farmers field but more than that I can't remember.
