Parked by Great Cocker and followed the cycle way until we met the Pennine Way. From here followed the tracks until the Middle Moor sign on top of the moor. Weaved through the heather and wet bits over to the trig. Weather took a turn on the way back. Mrs A1M had to hide behind me due to the gale force wind to make any progress.

BEWARE. Parked at Rey Cross as mentioned on previous logs, then dropped down to an old railway track which runs along the valley. Followed this until a track bears off right up the hillside. It is only a short distance from this track to the trig itself. However, think we were very unlucky as a 4x4 drove up the track just at the moment we were about to cut off for the trig. When he asked us where we were heading, he starting getting quite abrupt and confrontational. Firstly, he started insinuating that we were trespassing - but when we pulled out the map and pointed out we were on access land, he started saying we shouldn't be anywhere near the moor during breeding season. Wouldn't mind if these people are genuinely interested in moorland bird conservation, but unfortunately all they're bothered about is getting as many birds ready for the shooting season later in the year - all money, money, money! We ended up turning back as we couldn't be bothered with the hassle. As we cut up the bank back to Rey Cross, we looked back and could see another person driving a quadbike off-road on the moorland where we were going to walk to the trig......so much for not wanting to disturb the wildlife. Think these folk just don't want you anywhere near their grouse-shooting money pot.

Parked just beyond cattle grid overlooking Bog Scar. Easy walk up stream following the Sleightholme Beck. Footbridge over Frumming Beck and Dry Gill and a road track up onto Collinson Hill. Off piste over moorland to the pillar. Panoramic views. Trig is surrounded in a pool of water. Spider is missing.Explored the meltwater channels before returning to car.

Parked at Rey Cross westbound side, down the field to the old railway line. Through a gate, then onto a SE bound track to approach the trig from the E. A little boggy in places, but it is November after all!

Cycled from Grey Grits - walked across moorland from several hundred metres E of trig. Top face concrete layer (about 10 to 15mm thick) has one corner missing - thin cracks on one side face - open spider - some ground erosion.

Thanks to senrabyar for the idea of the route from Rey Cross following the trackbed of the former Stainmore Railway. The trig occupies a lonely spot.

Easy access over shooters track though last half mile quite wet underfoot. I'm not sure that the landowner would encourage crowds disturbing his precious birds! Probably best not clocked in shooting season (this is clearly a very well managed and organised grouse moor)! Decent views esp north to A66 corridor.

nearly 4km across open levelish heather moor (Open Access) after leaving the car at Sleightholme farm on the Pennine Way. would have been a miserable one to bag in bad weather, but tolerable in sunshine, dryish underfoot and lots of moorland birds

Top screed corner absent. Parked at Rey Cross and used old railway track bed for most of walk. Trig is remarkably mossy considering its exposure. Didn't look exactly vertical any more - maybe it was a trick of the light. Now my Durham Trig count is 78 - so just one left.

Plug missing, top slightly damaged, one sighting hole open, base exposed. Warm, hazy day; Tan Hill Inn seen in the distance and Bowes Castle to E but view dominated by the A66 'motorway'. Approached from Pennine Way then hard track for most of the remainder. Met GOML on the way back but as far as I know (map out of date) this is an access area.
