Parked at Kiln Bank Cross and ascended Caw from quarry north. Great position for the trig with great views. Nice weather. Afterwards walked back to pass and bagged Stickle Pike, Tarn Hill and Great Stickle (trig). A few people about. Later that day visited Whitfell trig.

From Broughton Mills on a round of a dozen hills on an extended walk horseshoeing around Dunnerdale Beck. Pillar sits on the rocky summit of this 529m hill. There's a horizontal fracture running across the rear face; centre cap has gone, replaced with a mortar plug; rear sight hole plugged, other 3 open. Extensive panoramic views.

A warm sunny day with excellent views. Feels more like summer than the end of February. A cool breeze on the top but 17 degrees in places. A bit of a steep pull to the top but well worth it.

Low mist and poor visibility made scoring this trig difficult, but it was very quiet up there, and the path from the Caw slate quarry/mine indistinct -which suggests that this is a nice quiet place. The old Caw slate mine is worth a look in if you take a torch. The entrance has a little surface water but it soon opens up into a much larger area, which is safe to explore.

Parked in the little car park at "The Hawk" just where the road crosses the beck - nice walk up through the forest to Stephenson Ground, headed up a reasonably worn footpath which takes you to the base of the Fell (Wainwright outlying fell). The views from the trig pillar across the Duddon valley to the Lakeland Fells simply stunning. What a place to sit and have lunch

A super walk up from the roadside parking spaces at Kiln Bank Cross. We skirted around the bottom of Caw until we were a little further round than the unclimbable Goat Crag face, then headed straight up. Pretty tiring on the legs, but the view of Harter Fell and the distant Scafells from the top was worth it! Nice sea views to the south and west too. The top was savagely windy though (one guy, posing for a photo beside the trig, was actually blown over and took a tumble!!!)

Bagged on a walk from Coniston to Harter Fell and back. Wanted to bag this for a while so glad to do so; good views and nice to get away from the crowds. Never come across a grey pillar before, and it has obviously been painted since Clanfield Rambler visited just over a year ago. I will upload a photo if possible.

Approached from NW, Seathwaite. Visited to record FB number. The pillar was completed in June 1949 costing £33.16s.2d. In 1950 this marker was computed for triangulation as tertiary station SD47/T13 in the Barrow-in-Furness secondary block. Flush bracket S5586 was levelled for height also in 1950. This trig point was last maintained by the OS in August 1977. Spider centre plugged. No photos taken.
