Situated in a wooded area near junction. layby to pull in and park. Wooded area is not a large area but the trig took a little finding as it was totally covered in Ivy. Centre cap missing.Took as much off as I could before leaving

On the south side of the main road at the junction with the B1195. Trees and vegetation have grown up around it and lots of ivy and brambles cover the pillar and ground around it. Located behind an advertising banner. Good views to the west looking towards Lincoln which might possibly be just visible on a completely clear day. First of four of a planned walk today.

A quick stop by this one on a cycle ride through the Lincolnshire Wold. A bit of navigating the brambles and stinging nettles to reach the pillar!

First of four roadside trigs ticked off on a homeward drive from the east coast. Parked in the layby just off the main road and thrashed around in the little copse until I found it. Impossible to tell what sort of condition it's in, being covered in ivy and all. Presumably predates the trees that surround it.

It's definitely there but hiding under ivy, bramble and hawthorn. Easiest to access from B 1195 and going N as it's slightly less overgrown. worth continuing to visit (free) Bollingbroke castle ruins, built early 13th C, largely destroyed in civil war by Cromwell. 1643 Winceby Battle site nearby. Prime meridian passes through.

Second trig on way back to see non-existent sperm whale washed up on Skeggy beach, council had removed it the previous evening. Parked up in convenient lay by round the corner on the B1195, trig quite easy to find in triangle of bushes and trees at junction of A158 and B1195 at this time of year. Can imagine it's smothered by bramble in summer. Views W/SW.

Tyrolean Maid pulled off the road in a conveniently place lay-by just a few yards up the B1159. Apart from being very grubby, this pillar is in very good condition so I’m not sure why T:UK has it classified as ‘Slightly Damaged’. All it’s metalwork is in place and there are no chunks out of the top edges or corners. The pillar is set back into the scrub so the view west is the only one open.
