Crawled through between the gate and fence post. Easy spot from the pavement. You'd think someone would give it a lick of paint as it was obviously cared for in the past.

Pillar in good condition located in a covered reservoir compound and next to a radio mast. Easily accessible from footpath. Seems a strange location for a primary TP given lack of clear views in any direction. Significant development must have occurred since it was originally used in the retriangulation. Also reference comment in the OS log "NOT FOR SALE Virtually unusable-SEE FILE"!

Pretty easy to find beside the main road next to a water tower and mast. Fairly good condition apart from graffiti abuse and general neglect. On high ground but no views. Water tower is interesting architecturally. From here, walked to Gills Lap.

Crowborough is certainly up on a rise! It was tough work cycling up to this trigpoint. A shame that it is surrounded by the reservoir compounds, buildings and trees, as 240m is quite high up for the South East and I'm sure there would be far reaching views if all the obstacles were removed.

Parked TQ544309 (near Waitrose) short walk south along A26 (all on pavement) to reservoir. 5 bar fence (easily climb-able) but fence was already down so negated the need. Trig next to building. Eady to find. Unfortunately some green graffiti on it.

Two possible gates to climb over, but chose the larger one. A quick walk round the building to the pillar and straight back out again. Road is rather busy but no one seemed to be bothered.

Located in a water company's compound on the side of the A26 in middle of Crowborough. Unable to view from the roadside as it's located behind a building. An easy gate to hop over then a hunt round in the compound for the trig. Pillar is in good structural condiiton, but its white paint job is peeling badly. There is a Marilyn close by, but not easy to determine its exact location.

Bagged this whilst collecting my son from the nearby Cadet Training Camp. This is easy to whizz past in the car. The low wooden gate is easy to negotiate. What a nice change not to have to run the gauntlet of barbed wire! TP itself has been painted white and although looking a bit down at the heel is in good structural condition. No views that I noticed, but then I didn't hang around.

One of the highest rigs in this area and a primary to boot. Access is quite easy by climbing the gate which appears to be quite a regular occurrence judging by the worn state of the timber at the hinge side. Painted white with some graffiti. Plug with indented lettering.

Not any use a trig point anymore being surrounded by a builtup water resiouvor, building and hedge. But due to the radio mast its possible to see its location from afar and how it would of once been useful before (persubably) crowbrough built up around it.

According to the map this appears to be located in the grounds of a water reservoir on the A26 main road. There is a thick hedge bordering the site and it is possible that the pillar is behind this.
