Parking for a car on side of road, just past the Prow Agree path can be muddy, often used by farmer moving cows Easy trig to find and good views of Solway Firth and Scotland

Parked on the verge where the road out of Glasson meets the coast road. Take the path opposite the Glasson road and head towards the coast. When you get to the gate with the path going into the field, the trig is next to the gate. Good views north of the Solway Firth and Scotland.

This should have been quite an easy bag but it proved to be a bit of a stinker. Decided to park on bend to the west of the pillar where the road approached the coastline. Couldn't see any obvious FP so walked along the mudflats as the tide was out. Annoying barbed wire stopped any easy access to the trig field so carried on around to a ruined lookout hut and clambered up the bank and into the adjacent field there where it was an easy walk up to the pillar. Nice views on the way and a good sight of the Solway from the TP. Thought I'd try and find the FP back to the car but no luck but was able to make my way through the barbed wire without damage. Highlight of this bag was my friend losing his shoes in the mud flats.

Whilst a large grass verge exists at junction of minor road and PRoW I chose to park at layby ny256611. I walked the road to ny257605 and ventured NE along the very muddy track. Pillar is huddled next to a metal gate and corner of hedgerow. Some good views to East and North.

2nd of 13 trigs bagged along Hadrian's Wall hike. Lane was cordoned off, probably because there is erosion problems along the path towards the Firth. But you don't walk down that far. Plug missing. A lot of overgrown hedgerow covers the pillar.

Parked near to the old railway line in the village of Glasson. Ankle deep mud on the right of way and lousy weather limited the views hence the 5/10. Guess that on a good day the views would be impressive. Must revisit again.
