Second of 2 trigs on a 7.5 mile hike from Skipton to Silsden via Vicars Allotment. Early 7.50am start on a beautifully clear, sunny morning. Bitterly cold ('Feels like -8C') en route. First ever visit and 500th logged trig!

The pillar sits invitingly in a field as you park up, but it is no problem to ask permission at the farm or cattery which was freely given, just told to be a bit careful of the Heifers. They were congregated around the gate but took off as I approached. Good middling TP with decent views. Beer in The New Inn, Cononley, afterwards.

Spoke to 3 builders working on a new farm building who advised seeking out the farmer for permission. Knocked at the farmhouse, wandered round the barns looking for anyone, knocked at the cattery - all deserted. Then followed the builders further advice to "go for it and run like hell if you hear a shot". No-one appeared and no shots were fired. Easy access through 2 gates (not locked), and no animals in field. Pillar is in good condition and has long range views.

Having checked previous logs, it seemed prudent to ask for access permission for this one, despite the pillar being so close to the road, and so prominently visible. The cattery is closed Sundays, so all there was to see here were several baleful felines watching through their windows. I had a walk through the barns and farm buildings and shouted a few greetings, but the place was deserted. I briefly contemplated knocking on the farmhouse door, but there was a large dog tied up in the yard and it seemed senseless disturbing him. In the absence of available permission, then, we went through the two gates and jogged to the pillar (in good condition, surrounded by curious friendly sheep) and were quickly away.

Revisit whilst on BM hunt on circular around Low Bradley area,alighted the 10.30 66 Dales bus from Skipton at the Ings Lane stop.Stopped off for a couple of pints of Cloudy Apple at the Slaters Arms waiting for Eldest Daughter to pick me up.A nice ramble on good Bridle Ways/Local Footpaths with good weather. The Cattery is closed on Sunday's, I spotted a lady coming up from the farm so I asked her for permission to visit the pillar. Permission to visit was given with no problem, so up to the pillar for photos etc. On my way back I was questioned by the farmer working in the large shed just below pillar. He asked what I was doing & I replied just been to visit the pillar for photos, he asked why & that I was trespassing on private land. I said I had asked permission from lady at farm to which he replied oh that's fine then you can't be to careful nowadays. I told him that I would let people know on the website,to be sure they seek permission first.

Easy to find but there was no access to it due to it being on private farm land. Had to view from a distance. Parked at Kildwick and walked a 5 mile circular route on the roads, with this trig being our half way mark, however if you didn't want to walk you could just park next to Delph farm and view it over the wall

Flush bracket faces southwest, ~236°. Vented through NE and SW sight holes, innards filled with debris. Open outlook spans 315° with portion between northeast and east now blocked by new farm building.

Was concerned about the state of the wall so decided to hold off for a bit. Lo and behold, the farmer soon came puttering around on his tractor to pick up a hay bale and kindly granted me access via the cattery. Surprisingly good views though I didn't hang around longer than I needed to.

Pillar easily visible from road but would have needed a seeable wall climb to access it. I therefore went to the cattery and asked permission which was readily given - although the young lady gave me quite a funny look when I explained my reason (are we that strange?). So all that was needed was access through two gates through a paddock with inquisitive horses and out into the field with the pillar. Pillar in good condition retaining quite a bit of faded white paint. A good view point. Original plug with indented lettering.

For wall jumpers, tresspassers and sad trig baggers (oops, that includes ME!). Sat in a small field directly adjacent the farm. Look at John's log first then consider going east along the road for about 100 yards to find a spot that's the field corner and where the wall is lower and easier to climb over - a quick dash to the trig will hopefully go unnoticed. First visited around the same time last year, weather much better today with a good view to the west. Revisited 25/02/2007.

This is a nice trig and is easily seen from the road but the wall is high and tricky. I got over at the junction of the road and the track to Smoulden Farm where there are some steps. I don't know if it matters but this is just inside West Yorkshire.

Visited to record FB number. The pillar was completed 23rd March 1949 costing £13.14s.10d. In 1951 this marker was computed for triangulation as tertiary station SD96/T9 in the Skipton secondary block. Flush bracket S5306 was levelled for height in 1962. This trig point was last maintained by the OS in July 1986. Climbed a wall to bag this one. My first ever trig in Grid Square SE.
