WAB activation. Parked at 99 and walked. The packhorse bridge was a bit overgrown. The farmer hasn't had time to strim it this year, too wet or when it isn't too much to catch up with. There is a road bridge. The packhorse bridge is more fun. It is easier to access the trig from the field on the other side to which you approach it,

Having 'bagged' Scarness, East House & Eaglesfield & parked at the 98 metre spot height entrance to Calva Hall at GR 068 268 as instructed by others, off I trotted to seek permission to 'knock-off' the trig of Gatebarrow. I 'fell upon' Simon, a most pleasant chap & his friendly, young assistant hard at work in a workshop amidst the farm buildings who informed me I was the first of the year to seek permission true as it wasn't. Nevertheless permission granted & advised to 'keep my head down' by Simon, with directions given via his assistant familiar with the trig himself, on my way via the intensely foliated pack horse bridge I went, there being no signage as to it's use being out of bounds. The route to the trig was fairly straightforward despite its location being concealed somewhat close to a cross-fence within a hedge. With Gatebarrow 'in the bag' it was off to find the Leyland National Works trig & the trigs of High Park & Eskett Farm...Difficult, somewhat arduous underfoot & problematic in that order!

Parked next to spot height 98. Asked at the farm and it was ok to go to the trig.

Parked at Calva Hall, owner said pillar not on his land, but would be fine if I 'kept my head down.' Over the delightful packhorse bridge, along track and then one field to the pillar. Pickup in the distance but either didn't see me (or the flag!) or not bothered. Returned down hedgeline and rejoined track near to the bridge. Good all round views, spent sometime looking at the A595 as I pass along it regularly and I'm never quite sure where to look for the pillar.

Walked from Deans via boggy path in places. The bridge was down at Corneyflat brook but able to cross further down. Could be problem after heavy rain. The path joins the drive down to Calva Hall but no one around. Started to cross "No Access over Packhorse bridge and got called back by a farm worker. After friendly chat, permission was given with directions. Follow wide tracks and over a barbed wire fence. The pillar sits between two bw fences. Strongly recommend asking for permission.

Parked up at 98m spot height, entrance to Calva Hall farm. Called at farm house (barking dog), tennant isn't the farmer, but said should be ok to proceed 'if I keep my head down'. Over the pack horse bridge and followed good farm tracks then field boundary. Pillar sits between pastures, between b/w stock fencing. Top cap is retained, deeply indented lettering; rear sight hole open. Panoramic views of mainly farmland, the Lakeland hills all in low cloud. Challenged by farmer on returning over PH bridge. Happy with me visiting the trig though.

From spot height 98 to NE - quite a long walk in. On approaching Calva Hall a young gamekeeper in a land-rover stopped to ask where i was going and kindly drove me up to the trig and then back to my car!

In field boundary, between two fences. Walked to Calva Hall and then crossed packhorse bridge, then headed west along track followed by frisky cattle, then headed South to pillar. Returned due east to intercept disused railwayline then north to the packhorse bridge, a shorter and more pleasant route, no cattle!
