Ran up through the heather / wet ground from the Sleightholme road, via a loop of the Seven Hills Tarn then up the side of the wall to the corner and E along the bridle way to the summit. Loved the expansive views

Day 1 of the journey up for the delayed 2020 expedition to north Scotland. Start off in this fine edge of North Pennine, lovely views down to what used to be called Cleveland and to Nine Standards, Rogans, Hoove.

Altitude 449m Came up this way looking for benchmarks and it seemed churlish not to log the trig pillar. Bench mark on the other face of the wall and dates from 1856. Info on the benchmark can be found at https://www.bench-marks.org.uk/bm102679

Pillar has a few thin cracks on top face - some flaking at a side corner- memorial plaque on a side face - spider plugged (resin?). Views include quite contrasting scenery - moor, pasture, hill & town.

A very windy, cold day so didn't stop long at the top. A welcomed pot of tea in the pub at Bowes.

Leading a walk that passed by this pillar so the opportunity for Gemini Man and myself to go through the wall to visit was just too good not to miss. We had come up from Bowes using the footpath over High Green Fell to north. Then west along the good track to this location. The pillar itself is in good condition although the original metal plug has gone being replaced by a cemented version. Memorial plaque on north face. Grand view point on such a lovely morning.

Walked up from Sleightholme Farm, (parking by permission is available). Surprisingly dry underfoot after the deluge of the last month. Good views all round.
