Could not access the trig as it is situated on private land. Got a picture from the nearest point on my walk, and therefore I'm counting it as bagged. Technically, not the highest point of Chinley Churn anyway, that is further along the RoW path

As near as I could get Chinley Churn trig point in the famers field

Inaccessible and likely to remain that way thanks to the Rude, Arrogant and prejudiced (he told me to go back to Manchester and stay out of the countryside) land owner. Disgusted with his foul mouth and name calling, and all I had done to deserve that was inadvertently wandered off the public footpath and onto another path which he said had been made by sheep. Pathetic human being.

This pillar is on private land and the owner seems to have tried hard to stop people accessing his field. It is fully walled with fencing on top. I respect that and viewed from the access land about 200m away - a very pleasant and interesting old quarried area.

Then turned left up a steep hill, before accessing the field in which the pillar is located, and climbing up another hill to the pillar itself. The plug is missing.

I had unfinished business with this trick after failing to find it in 2012. This time I was more successful and more prepared although the weather is still as ghastly. I had a couple of. It’s on the approach from Lantern Pike, initially I jumped over the wall into the wrong field. But I did not give up I jumped over another wall including an electric fence walked up the hill and finally found the trick. It was on private property so I took a quick picture and then got out of there!

I think all people who have encountered walls have approached this trig in a similar direction. There is a route from Over Hill Road, Chinley on a PRoW onto open access land. Before the second stile a wide path/incline heads W to the top of the quarries continue with wall on your right to a metal gate. This gives you access to the field where the trig is located. Retrace your steps to continue to Lantern Pike or wherever. 1/3 visited today with Johnny (JRT). I gift to the colour green, how lush and bright the countryside appears.

Lovely position, far reaching views. Walked up from Chinley station, up public footpaths and open access land. If there was a trig pillar on my private land, in such a prominent position and so close to open access land, I would accept that people may wish to visit it and I would provide a stile so that wall climbing was not necessary. Such a simple solution.

Parked the car on Buxton Rd in Chinley opposite a church. Headed uphill and across the railway onto Maynestone Rd passing the war memorial. Took the PROW heading NW up onto the open access land of Cracken Edge. Quite a climb but good views back over Chinley on a pleasant early spring day. Meandered through the disused quarry eventually emerging on the top due East of the pillar. Just one wall to climb followed by a short final climb onto the summit of Chinley Churn. Pillar is in good condition with all sight holes open and no erosion around the base but the original cap has been replaced with plastic. Views are good but not quite as impressive as those from nearby Lantern Pike. Transmitter on Ladder Hill easily visible but I couldn't make out the adjacent pillar. Continued North above the abandoned quarry eventually descending to Whiterakes and across fields to Peep-O-Day. Followed bridleway NW to Foxholes Clough where I discovered a lovely stepped waterfall. Climbed up Foxholes Clough onto the moor from where I could see The Cage of Lyme Park in the distance. Followed bridleway South, eventually emerging onto Over Hill Road at Throstle Bank and then downhill back into Chinley.

Plastic plug. Private [owner unknown], but with Access Land on 3 sides. No doubt it's possible to reach it without crossing a wall, if you have time to look. But once the pillar is spotted, the inclination is to make a bee-line for it. No cattle [or farmer] up here in the bleak midwinter. Peak District National Park.

Time, tide and trig points wait for no woman! One of those days where the rain has cleared the air, but big black clounds hand around. Then on the steep climb above the station, and in a north south lane with steep sides to shield the wind, the sun comes out. And it bakes! Short lived. Interesting meander around the Craken Edge quarries before scaling the wall to reach target followed by a wonderfully runnable bit down through New Allotments. Good views. Not great views. But good views.

Fairly easy to find, just up the footpath off the bridleway. Decent views from the top.

tried to follow the advice of bridgeman and followed path from road gaining height as soon as possible but still had a nasty climb up rocks to gain height, also a wall to climb to get to trig.

Went back again to study the route for a book we're writing. You have to trespass, climbing the wall just south of the pillar. Electric fence to get you as well. Still in good nick, with good views south

Walked up from canal at Bugsworth Basin. A very thundery and wet afternoon had been followed by an inversion and a glorious red sunset over Manchester way.

All sighting holes open with upper centre mark visible; plug replaced by plastic cover. Slight damage to the bracket. Nice views but elec fence alongside wall to E was awkward to cross.

Accessed from Over Hill Road SK034831. It's probably best to gain high ground early rather than follow the path NNE then left as there is a broken quarry face to scramble up.

Nice views. Popped up the hill to bag the trigpoint after placing a new cache on Cracken Edge.

Very hot day. Good views for 360deg. Interesting stone working - I presume this area was a quarry once?
