My second visit, the litter and squalor around this poor pillar is even worse than it was two years ago. Am wondering if CJO drinks copious amounts of cheap Polish lager and dumps the empty cans on his home TP each time he visits it?? (Only joking)

County Durham has some very attractrive Trig Points - generally the further west you travel, the better they get. This one, in the east of the county, is only really of interest to people fascinated by litter, fly-tipping and rubbish!

A convenient car parking spot at the N corner of a housing estate of Bowburn. A well used dog walking area. Trig point is currently overgrown by the seasonal brambles. The Tail- upon- End Lane provides homework to discover this interesting road name.
