Pillar in good condition located in a scrubby wooded area next to a public footpath. Parking is not easy and the road is busy. I ended up parking to the southwest by the road junction.

A quick detour from the road while on a bike ride. This trigpoint is tucked away on a vegetated footpath. Not much of a view in the thick vegetation.

Another pillar close to a busy country lane. On the OS map, it is shown near to a communications mast. Those which were clearly visible from a distance were a bit of a distraction and took me away from where I wanted to be. Location is about 100 metres east of a small road junction, almost opposite the entrance to a gated property with a notice saying duck eggs for sale, which is on the north side of the road. Pulled bike in here and crossed the road to where I had seen a footpath running south and uphill. The pillar is just on the right up a small mound west of the path. Although it is right in the hedge row, it is sufficiently clear of vegetation to be visible from the path. Raised prefix S. Below the highest point of ground in the vicinity. Spoke to a couple of walkers who often use the path but had never noticed the pillar before. Quick chat about bonkers hobby. Possibly sparked a bit of interest, even just a little appreciation for the pillars all over the landscape.

Parked a little down the road in a lay-by, trig in messy brambled area on a bank, got a tad scratched getting in to hug it!

Trying to hide in the hedge by the junction of the road and footpath - but readily visible.

Another trig by a lethal Kent lane, but this time easier to find although entombed by a hedge, so no views, and oddly a number of dumped panes of glass propped up against it. NE s/hole open, plastic cap, otherwise sound.

You can park at the end of the bridle way and it's just there on your right. GPS plaque, plug replaced with plastic insert.

Absolutely no view from this one, being in a small hollow in the hedge! Otherwise fine, but sporting a plain resin plug.

Located a few feet up a bridle way from the road, pillar is almost lost in the hedge, and appears to be in good condition.

Hidden in undergrowth, this is marked by a plaque declaring it as part of the GPS network. Near to a road and bridleway, it is nonetheless slightly hidden from both and would be easy to pass if you did not know that it was there.

Although only a few feet from a main road, this pillar was hidden in thick undergrowth. The database shows it as having no current use. However, there is an OS GPS plate attached. I checked the OS GPS site and found it listed as C1TQ3858.
