I came out here to maintain a geocache and realised there was a trigpoint just up the road. I don't think I've ever been here before, nice to visit it, even if the wind is gale force and it hailed on my walk back to the car (which was at Buckstones!). A scenic spot.

Lovely quick trig. Parked in lay-by, thru the gate, and within meters it’s in view. Perfect for a quick bag, or part of a longer walk. Trig is in remarkable condition except for bracket side is green with moss.

(346) I visited in the dead of night after taking the car on a long run; it was cold and damp but took less than ten minutes from the roadside. I parked up in the very handy layby on the A640, and simply followed the clear (by torchlight) unmapped track across the moor. It turns right as you crest the hill and the pillar sits in a clearing of sorts amongst the heather. The trig is in really good condition with a full set of metalwork and a flaking,weathered coat of paint - obviously I can't speak for the views, but as easy access moorland pillars go, this is a doddle.

I found the trig point at Cupwith Hill on a 11 or so mile run, alongside that at Moss Moor. The Trig Point is in a great condition and it’s hard to believe it’s so close to New Hey Road. The Trig point is in really good condition and affords some great views.

Approached from the South West along the footpath from March Haigh Reservoir (my walk had started at Pule Hill). I was delighted with every aspect of this. The pillar in great condition, the location just on a PRoW which are my favourite. And some decent views of Marsden Moor and beyond. (Lovely warm day today). So an easy 8 from me. Headed back to Marsden via Cupwith Reservoir.

easy walk to the pillar, as we were approaching we could see that it had a theodolite in position which was good and unusual to see. A couple were doing an art work project and had borrowed an old theodolite. Bright white pillar, shame to see the flush bracket painted over. Great views.

Log #89. 424m. Short detour from walking Section 1 of the Kirklees Way LDP from Marsden. Temp 27c, p.sunny, visibility v.good. Views 270 degrees. As noted by Terry L, best access is from the N. If you,re driving, there is a lay-by on New Hey Rd (A640) just N of the trig. There is actually a narrow path up to the trig, but it tracks in a circle for some reason. As you pass to the E side of the trig, you may think the path is missing it, but fret not, it circles right round to the pillar.

Parked in lay-by at SE 0330 1428 from which a small path leads up the hill and behind the trig then staright to it thus avoiding the worst of the tussocks.Excellent views.

Passing by on the M62 in the rain, I should have known better ! It was snowing on the tops and I stumbled my way through the ankle breaking tussocks to the snow-plastered trig. Then back with my face into the driving snow. An easy tick on a nice day !

Wimp's tig. I parked the car in a space on the south side of the A640 and it was an easy 5 minute stroll to the trig point, first follwing a faint path and then across the grass. Dry conditions meant that this was a piece of cake. Tussocks not easy going on the ankles though.

Scariest trigging experience ever, went at night with only a small torch and couldn't see a thing. Lost our bikes in a bog at the bottom, searching for over an hour.

we got up there at pitch black, as we had decided to go for some night trigging, very boggy, and we placed our bikes in the reeds so we could step across the first bog bit near the reeds, we got the trig after alot of stumbling about through all the ankle breakers, came back to get our bikes but we couldnt find them. so we spent the next hour trapsing up and down, with a little LED light trying to find our bikes in the reeds, just before we called to get picked up and come get them in the morning light, we spotted them, we were so glad we found them, and we will never be as silly as that ever again!

i'm a wimp and proud of it! sorry but on the map that road is just too tempting. And anyway the ankle breakers are murderous now that they've got lush summer growth on them.

Came up from Marsden (ending up in Sowerby Bridge). Simple enough walk (if somewhat uphill initially). Very faint path directly below Cupwith Reservoir leads to the trig - sorry, but tigging it from the nearby road is a wimps tig in my opinion - hazy weather at the time of the tig but good views when coming up the moor back down across Marsden & beyond.

Good condtion, on difficult moorland near the Cupwith Reservoir, and near main road. Public I see that were there at the same time as Mr Hawk, but earlier in the day. In fact, coming up from the road is quite difficult, with lots of hidden bogs.
