Walk/ran up from Bellingham. A bit difficult to spot from the lane. Need to walk through some Heather to get to it from the lane. Lovely views once there.

Nice loop walk from Bellingham taking in part of the Pennine Way then a trudge through heather to the pillar. A bit overgrown with reeds but otherwise all seems in good order.

My second visit, minor diversion on way back from Hexham getting my COVID jab to walk the dog . After my first visit I described the views from this hill as 'unspectacular', however that wasn't on a bright sunny day like today and I'll admit that on a good day like today the views are pretty damn close to spectacular!

Should have bagged this back in August 2011 when walking the Pennine Way. However, the long slog from Greenhead to Bellingham in miserable weather put paid to that. Parked on road just below pillar. Good view to S.

It's possible to drive along the lane towards the mast but we walked from the cattle grid at the junction till just south of trig then across heather. Great views in all direction.

Visited while walking the Pennine Way. Almost hidden in the grass surrounding it. Short diversion from the path across heather, but if you're lucky you'll find a narrow track leading most of the way. No views to write home about - mostly dominated by the transmitter mast. Has the distinction of being my 200th pillar!!
