Ten trigs bagged on the way to and around Buxton with a total of thirteen miles hiked for the day. I got the last two in a 7.2 mile hike of the Buxton area. This was the second of them. It is in generally good condition and retains the original centre for the spider. Located on Burbage Edge it has good views over Buxton and the surrounding area.

Parked on Macclesfield Old Road near to the old dismantled railway. Took the path around the Burbage Edge Plantation up to the pillar. The final part of the walk was a real trudge in some very rough and boggy ground due to the rain earlier in the day. This was the fifth in my Buxton 7 trig pillar challenge

Did a circular from Buxton via Cavendish golf course then a north to south traverse to return via Macc Old Road. Wet, wild and windy but with far less bog than experienced at the weekend on Rombalds Moor. A few metres to the east of this trig in the wall can be found a stone with one of Joe Browns numbers carved into it. He worked at White Hall in the early 1960s and carved a navigation course for the students of coordinates or bearing/distance. Twenty in total in the Goyt and Combs area carved in gate posts, bridges etc. So Joe Brown (one of our best climbers) I gift this to you, they are still visible after nearly 60 years and this is the only trig column you will pass on the +17 mile circular walk.

Fourth trig of the day. Walked via golf course path to Walford Farm then Beet Farm and up in to the woodland and moors behind it. Followed edge of Burbage wood but found trig on boggy moorland side so had to carefully nip over fence. Great views all round, had my sarnies and cuppa looking over Buxton, cold W wind dictated that. On to Axe Edge for the last trig.

There are undoubtedly quicker and easier routes to this pillar than the one I took but few of them can be as scenic. From Derbyshire Bridge car park along Goyts Clough to an unmapped bridge just after Berry Clough. Crossed this bridge and continued along the opposite bank passing a fantastic wall of ice at Goytsclough Quarry. Upon reaching a wall I turned uphill to the point where it meets a track as the wall breaks left. Excellent views over Erwood Reservoir with a heat haze evident - has Spring finally arrived ? Continued East, crossing a couple of deep cloughs until I met another wall running North-South along Burbage Edge. It was tough going across the heather and snow. Headed South along Burbage Edge where the pillar eventually came into view (rather cunningly disguised in white paint against the snow). Original metal cap with raised lettering. There is a chunk missing on one side at the top but otherwise in good order. Excellent if foreboding 360 degree views. Axe Edge pillar clearly visible.

Not so much how we did it, but that it was done at all! The irony is that not so populat tracks such as the circular route from the Goyt Lane car park, (achieved after a diversion because of a road closure between Buxton and Whalley Bridge), are now far more eroded that the revived popular routes. Still, that certainly didnt detract from the younger members of my five strong assault crew. Good views from the top. Goyt Valley. And the Cat & Fiddle. So near. Too late for food at the Bee Hive so back to the Hanging Gate which was awash with unnecesary Halloweenary. Again, a big hit with 40% of the party. Still. School holidays over for surely another fortnight at least!

Parked on Macclesfield Old Road for a pleasant short walk up and across the hill to the trig point with the kids. Ground was a little soggy in places which made it more fun, and the scattered sheep do seem to produce a lot of output... We realised we were on the wrong side of the wall and fence as we arrived, but soon found a suitable crossing spot a little further along then strolled back to the trig point to enjoy the views before continuing on to the Burbage Edge geocache.

2/3 on Challenge walk. Approached from the South along the wall. Good coat of white paint makes the trig visible from a distance. Superb all round views on an increasingly warmer day. The grid reference was added after a revisit on June 8th 2014.

Pillar in good condition, complete with all metalwork. Plug has raised lettering. Pillar evidently recently repainted while. Good views, but a bit murky as the fog has hardly lifted all day, even though the sun is finally trying to break through. Approached from the south by path off Macclesfield Old Road out of Burbage; continued north to drop down to the former High Peak Railway.

This one stood out white on an overcast wet and windy day amongst the purple heather. There is very slight damage at the top edge but I guess the general condtion is good. I approached along the wall side from the South having run across from Axe Edge.

The trig is in good condition apart from a minor dent in a top edge. The cap is still in place. Views are good. A path leads along the edge of the wall although we took the direct route across the moor not knowing the path was there.

I approached from the south which proved rather boggy. A better route would be to park at SK023751 and follow the railway path south to just 50m short of the tunnel. Branch right on a path to contour around to a small gate then uphill, initially steep on a narrow path to the trig point. Trig point recently painted.

Popped by on my way home. Got told off for being there by one of the local rangers, as the moor is private land, managed for the Duke of Devonshire's grouse shoot. This area will, however, be opened up as part of the "Right to Roam" act. It seemed ironic that the National Park, who owe their very existance to public protests against shooting land being defended against access by the riff-raff, should now be the ones doing the defending! However, right up until the time when new legislation forces them to allow access, they're "just doing their job". Oh to live in Scotland!
