The Bowland Dozen visits all 12 trig points of 400+ metres in a tour of the Bowland massif, one of England's last wilderness areas. It starts at Dunsop Bridge, but for reasons I started further west at Abbeysteads. No problems reaching this pillar (1/12) from Jubilee Tower car park. The 12 trig points visited are gifted to places and memories. The maps I am using are from 2010 when I had intentions of doing it at one pop, 50 miles in under 24 hrs. The maps were given and that certain person did it in under 24 hrs. C E is a remarkable woman and her memory was with me today.

Parked in the car park off Scotforth Road, opposite the Jubilee Tower. Took the barely discernible track from there up to the summit of Grit Fell (the track has a fence on the right hand side all the way up). From Grit Fell, headed north west up to the summit of Clougha Pike and the pillar, which has its cap missing. Very boggy and rough terrain all the way up.

From Jubilee Tower. Fenceline up to Grit Fell then rocky path out to Clougha Pike. Pillar has had something cemented onto the top, of which a partial white plastic disc remains, and the mortar which is covering the spider. Rear sight hole is open. Extensive panorama, specifically W to Lancaster. On to the 2 pillars on Wards Stone, and then to Wolfhole Crag pillar.

From Jubilee tower via Grit Fell. reasonably frozen ground but otherwise a very mucky route. The view is pretty impressive but quite why this top is on the Trail100 list is beyond me. The view from Calf Top is for instance better. The trig has been scalped of its plaque but the spider is still there, Some damage to this area but otherwise pretty good.

From teenage rambles to girlfriend walks out, from back pack adventures with the kids to fighting middle age spread runs; this trig point has been the day's objective and seen it all. Goodness knows what sort of mess someones made on top of the pillar, but it's not pretty A honourable mention to friend Mike Dagger who has clocked up 1630 visits here

Returned from Mallowdale Pike and sufficient time to bag this one as well.The pillar top is damaged and the spider has gone. The photograph was taken from the opening in the wind shelter. I returned to Jubilee Tower CP and would advise others taking this route that it can be very boggy as I found out on the descent and went in over both boots! Good job it was not on the way up but the walk is 10 miles and very rewarding.

HISTORY: Pillar completed 16th September 1948, cost not on record. Computed as secondary triangulation station SD47/10 within the Skipton block during 1950. Levelled for height also in 1950. Last maintained by the OS in May 1976. SITE VISIT: Four trig circuit from Jubilee Tower. Car park opposite at SD542573. Followed footpath NE to SD556589 turning NW following rough path to trig. Pillar in fair condition. Top surface has been damaged where view indicator was fitted then presumably stolen, mounting board remains over spider. Flush bracket faces ENE ~103° Vented through SW sight hole. Mainly open outlook, higher ground to east. Retraced steps SE and continued to Wards Stone.

Out with my walking group, The Irregulars, LDWA, and our leader brought us up from Jubille Tower to the top of Grit Fell and then turned east. So, being so near to this pillar and a cache Applepye and myself just had to turn west to visit them. It was an awful August day to be playing this game. Cold, wet windy and misty. So today it was just a place to get to, touch and get away from. And that's what we did.

Condition should no doubt be Slightly Damaged, based on vandalism of spider, but at least the hill finder plate has been removed - now just a heavily scratched flat sheet painted white at some point. Came up from Abbeystead and along the fine 4WD shooters track as far as crags to the north east then short hop across the heather to find the summit. Lovely and sunny down in the valley, but cold and brisk on top, path out to Grit Fell was a swamp in places.

Clear morning weatherwise, good views. Column vandalised on top - Philistines - what sort of navigator would need to replace the spider on a national monument with an engraved monstrosity? Need a toposcope build one somewhere else.

Vandalized view-finder fixed to top obscuring spider if still present. Top is rounded off and a bit tatty. Pillar plastered with white paint. Beside shelter cairn on top of extensive tumulus. Popular summit with Tourist Path up from Rigg Lane car park. 5-trig 2-car route from the Trough, with Duncan Elliott. My last LR102 trig.

Hazy high-pressure day, so couldn't even see the coast, but the sun and the sky were great, and the gritstone scenery is brilliant. One of my favourite places in Lancs.

Bright and misty Can't see far today, but a great place to be.

The views from Clougha are superb on a clear day (which isn't too often). Amongst others, you can see the Lakeland Fells, Pen-y-ghent, Heysham Power Station, Blackpool Tower, Snowdonia and Pendle Hill.

Clougha Pike The picture is taken from a shelter, which protects against wind but not against rain!
On a clear day... ...you can (almost) see forever. A helpful plate on top of the trig point identifies the main points of interest.
