Walked up from the south (car park on the A54). Easy access through the old, open, iron gate. Hung around at the stone circle to watch the eclipse but the sun was too low and the clouds too persistent.

Approached from the NE via the stone circle. Pretty easy to find thanks to previous comments on here. Right next to the concrete tower. Looking forlorn in its little garden of wildlife. Could do with a nice coat of white paint. Reasonable views from here. Rain on its way over so I didn't hang around. Continued on towards Eddisbury Hill Fort.

Paid my parking charge of £5 which over exceeded the 2hours I had put aside. Never mind a lovely place to spend the day. Pillar is not part of the visitor experience and a trig bagger needs to navigate the masts and brambles to find this pillar. Trig point spider top still intact.

Parked at Gresty's Waste and took Sandstone Trail to the north. At a gate we took the Alternative Sandstone Trail to the right which quickly led us to the summit of Old Pale with its towers, radio mast and water works. Knowing that the challenge had only just begun, we started searching for the trig inside the water works compound which is readily accessible. Having spent some time examining the undergrowth, we eventully spotted a hole in the hedge through which an iron gate can be seen. Once through the gate the trig can be easily seen. It is adjacent to the round concrete water tank. What a sad fate for something that would once have stood proudly commanding the hilltop! We had a quick look at the modern stone circle before retracing our steps.

Visited on a short diversion from the Sandstone Trail. The hill summit has excellent long distance views and considerable work has gone into making it a visitor attraction by construction of a stone platform with large inscribed standing stone and several other standing stones surrounding it inscribed with the various counties visible from the location. Sadly the trig pillar wasn't invited to the party and has been cast into the long grass, and brambles, amongst the concrete and steel jungle of pylons, transmitters, high fencing and water towers. It is still accessible through an old small gate but may take a bit of searching without a grid reference. Rather sad.

Access involves going through a gate and then climbing over a wooden fence into the area of the water tower. The pillar is next to the water tower.

Pillar sits next to a disused water tower (which has a trig bolt atop) in a scrubby, brambly area. Mortar screed on the top looks as though it's either deteriorating badly (me being generous), or been chipped away in an attempt to remove the spider (most likely). Centre cap gone, tube is unplugged; rear sight hole open. Murky views to the E.

Followed mapped RoW northwards up to SJ539692 then took a path to the right which leads up to the comms masts. Pillar in compound surrounded by old iron railings but access is easy as there are gaps, the main obstacle being the brambles. Column in good condition. Spider centre open.

Managed to fit this trig pillar in, plus the adjacent items, during the hour between trains at Delamere station. Firstly, I concur with ted and wrose's observations about damage to the spider and am of the opinion that the official status should now be changed to slightly damaged. This pillar is mentioned quite a few times in John Davies's Primary Trigs in Wales, with observations made to here from Moel Fammau (2961), Cyrn y Brain (S1546) and Cadair Berwyn (S1545). Unfortunately this afternoon such far away views were hazed out. Also, many of the rays are permanentely blocked anyway by all the summit clutter; buildings and masts. This is where the more recent bolt (TP10745) on the adjacent water tower comes into its own with a far superior view of the surrounding area. And with the added thrill of climbing up the external ladder to access the roof I'm sure it'll soon become a firm T:UK favourite.

Out on a walk from Frodsham and our route passed along the Sandstone Trail to the west. So, the opportunity to detour up the hill was just too good not to miss. Not the easiest to get to with the proliferation of masts and buildings but we gained access to the area through a small bolted gate by a brick building to the west of the pillar. Then made access to the pillar through a gap in some rusty railings. I have described the pillar as slightly damaged because of the top, see photo. Almost hidden in the proliferation of nettles and grass, but it is there and can be reached. Not much of a view unless you particularly like masts and buildings.

Its still there, hiding behind the round building. Visited after dropping son off at Liverpool Uni for the first time - the house seems a little emptier today.

Had a good look around, but saw no sign of the pillar. Lots of vegetation though! It's in there somewhere as there is no sign of big works since the last visit.

Could do with a coat of paint! A little bit hidden between the radio masts. Interesting "new" stone circle near by.

trig is nice, but the viewpoint located over a bunker to the left is astounding, a large round spiral with stones from each county pointing in the smae direction and engraved on each the name. good view over elmsmere port at night. lots of pretty lights.

Missed the hole in the fence, so to my wife's dismay I waded through the nettles. Ow Ow Ow!

Nice location, with a good approach from the XX. Trig in good condition (including the plug) other than possibly needing a lick of paint. Kinda dwarfed by the other objects on the hill top..

Now within extension of Delamere Forest. Several paths come nearby. Trig point is enclosed in area surrounded by railings but access can be gained on SE corner then by forcing your way through nettles.

I take my hat off to those who climbed the fence and fought through the nettles to reach the TP - maybe in winter!

The railings have been pulled down where they adjoin a new radio mast, and the gate has been lifted off its hinges, so access is no longer a problem. Primary trig, plug with indented lettering. View spoilt by presence of masts.

Spotted when visiting BT radio station, no access due to spiked railings around water tower compound.

The pathway up to the trig point and communications beacon) seemed newly laid. However the Trig point is within Iron railings next to the water tower and it is not possible to reach it. The weeds were so high we couldn't really assess its condition and definately couldn't see flush bracket.
