Parked in residential area in Ham Green, could possibly have parked near Ham Green Reservoir but that’s only for anglers. Along Chapel Pill Lane. At the gate heading north for the Avon Walkway, turned east onto driveway and uphill. After about three hundred metres pillar came into view in the corner of the field just before the bridge over the railway line. Muddy corner of field, probably churned up by livestock. Limited views to west and south. Raised S prefix. Spider and cap in place.

Located in a field full of inquisitive cows. Luckily the fence by the trig isn't electrified.

Walked down lane from Business park towards Chapel Farm. The farmer was just coming down from the direction of the trig point and he gave us permission to go up to take photos, result.

Walking from Portishead to Bristol Temple Meads Station so this was a quick diversion up the concrete track. No one around to ask permission.

I asked for permission at the farm, which was readily given after a quick Trig-pointing lesson, I explained it as "like train spotting but with hills" seemed to do the trick! Pillar is located on farm track about 500m from the path, next to old railway bridge. Good condition.

We walked up private road from cycle path and was going to ask permission to visit trig if we met anyone. However trig was spotted before anyone or any buildings were noticed.

Approached from W, diverting off River Avon Trail (a 25-mile path running from Pill to Bath) along private concrete farm track. Owner drove out to ask what we were doing, happy for us to view the trig but ensured we returned to the Avon Path after. Pillar located in corner of muddy cow pasture next to the track boundary fence on NW side of rly track. In reasonable condition but some chipping to top edges. Original cap in place, lightly indented lettering; LHD side sight hole open; BSM-style FB.

Some curious cattle in the field the pillar stands in but no-one else seen. The pillar is close to the fence so can be photographed without entering the field.

A lane out of Pill near the cricket pitch leads into a business park and modern housing estate. Park here and take a short walk along the private lane indicated by the Bristol Cyclepath. Walk past the cottages and pond up to a farm entrance on the right near a kissing gate. Walk up the concrete lane over a cattle grid and over the crest of the hill the trig comes into view next to the railway bridge. This trig is in good condition with views over the River Avon towards Sea Mills and Shirehampton.

Walked from the west. No one around to ask, so walked up to the trig. As I came back to the path, a friendly lady asked me if I was lost.

Grey drizzly day, cycled in from Bristol. Nobody was about to ask and the gate was open so I biked up the track to quickly bag my 50th trig!

The pillar is sited in the corner of a field on a small hill close to a bridge over a railway line carrying a farm track. It has a metal cap with shallow lettering and FB S/3375. The track joins a public footpath by the farm, 200 metres away. The site looks out over the River Avon and the lower reaches of its gorge. A church tower in Sea Mills can be seen in the east, the motorway bridge over the Avon in the west.

Following Glaslyns lead I decided to obey the one of many no right of way signs and settled for a close but not in sight pass after a meeting in the nearby office park

A boring triangulation station if ever there were one, although it is along the ridge of Camp Abonae, an ancient roman settlement. The number definitely does _not_ have an S at the beginning. The highlight of my visit was seeing a pair of foxes on the railway line just alongside it...
