Parked on High Street, Everdon. Took the public right of way (PROW) from SP 58953 57584 up to the trig field. Left the PROW at SP 58138 57670 and headed for the pillar, which can found next to the hedge on the southern side of the trig field. The cap was missing, so I replaced it

From village of Everdon headed west, took left fork in road, slightly uphill which then bears left. Just before bend in road footpath goes straight on up the embankment up a few broken steps over a stile and into a grassy field. Continue west and uphill, over another stile into an arable field with footpath through the crop. After about 100 metres path forks, take path heading north west. At field edge path goes through a gap in the hedge next to an oak tree with a footpath sign on it. Then across another arable field with footpath through the crop. Possibly barley, lovely soft green colour swaying gently in the breeze. At next field boundary path goes across a grassy field. Ground fairly level, although slightly higher to south of path. After about 150 metres at hedge line running north to south headed south and gained height. Pillar then came into view on southern boundary of field about fifty metres west of the hedge line running south. Stepped over a couple of low wires just in front of the pillar, possibly electric fence. Unusual no S prefix in number, worth extra point. Spider but no cap. Good views to north.

Had a day of trig bagging with Steve Pennock, Trudge & Tracey, based around visiting the one at Silverstone. This was the 5th of the day. We parked in the village for the walk along the PROW with good views from the adjoining field. The pillar was just the other side of an electric wire that was easy to negotiate. The pillar is in generally good condition but the centre cap for the spider is missing.

An easy bag, accessed from the footpath from Bull's Hill Farm across a field of very noisy sheep, through another field of not quite so noisy sheep, and then round the edge of a very grassy field. Pillar beside hedge and behind an electric fence which was low enough for me to step over without making contact. Good condition, but not much of a view.

RoW leads through Bullshill Farm from the west. Pillar sits on a loose field boundary providing easy access to the trig. No centre cap or plug; LHS sight hole open. One of the few 4-digit FBs with no 'S' preceding the number. Good views N.

Parked in Everdon - nice short stroll over to this one - paths tricky to follow as through new crops - Pillar good condition, very quiet area - farmland views - any one see the "Rivet" on the steps up from the road? http://www.bench-marks.org.uk/bm26834.

Plug missing (see previous photos) and chunks missing from side, hence rating of slightly damaged. Walked up from the road to the west via farmyard. Pillar not actually on footpath but not far off it. This is the first pillar I have found that has a FB number that is only four digits. Normally they have a letter (usually S) as a prefix. Anyone know why?

Did the same as Father Ted and did this on route to Arbury hill and the Northants county top. The trig is just of a footpath and access is easy, the centre plug in the spider is missing.

I started the day with a visit to the Northamptionshire County Top at Arbury Hill and then drove the short distance though Badby to access this trig from the west. A pleasant walk up the hill and then a small diversion off the footpath around an arable field. One of the few flush bracket numbers I have seen not to include an S.

Set high amongst the beautiful Northamptonshire Alps with views across to Arbury Hill - Northamptonshires highest peak (no trigpoint). Thanks to Everdon for their complementary tea and biscuits in the village hall for residents and passing mountaineers - a New Years Day tradition going back some 5 years (4 very muddy adults and 6 kids are sorry about the mud on the floor). Centre of mount missing.
