Only visited this one a couple of days beforehand, but our 12.1 mile walk from Draughton went close by, so thought we would visit again. Carried on to Bolton Abbey on a glorious day, it was a wonderful walk that contained another trig at Haw Pike.

A revisit for me, and pillar #43 for my little trigbagger. A glorious sunny day with views stretching to the horizon (albeit with freezing windchill). The pillar is on access land with paths leading to and fro, so access is very straightforward. It is in fine condition, with an original cap and the last vestiges of white paint clinging on gamely.

Pleased we braved the inclement weather and went for our 2nd trig of the day. Plenty parking and followed the bridleway north to Rylstone. A short walk that provides 360 view. This trig has the last vestige of a splash of white paint. Spider intact. Its surface top appears uneven. Always worth the effort regardless of the weather. Turned out to be a lovely afternoon.

September Camp 2018. Walked from Skyreholme to Barden Bridge, then onto reservoir roads on the Barden Moor access land (no closures for Grouse shooting this year). From the lower reservoir we walked to the Upper Reservoir, abandoning the intention to bag Thorpe Fell trig due to time. So we picked this up on the walk back and I'm so glad we did. The pillar is set on lovely rocky moorland and the views are amazing. Original cap still, although it looks as if someone may have been at it and failed. I could see both Skyreholme Valley and Ilkley at the same time, Billing Hill near Leeds is evident, Chelker Reservoir, Skipton, Bronte country, Pendle, Embsay Crag and on and on.

Walked up through snow from Embsay on a cold morning. Easy find, and stunning snowy views today.

Nice spot and good access, using west to east path on this ridge. Arrived in a bit of a hailstorm, but weather improved afterwards.

A not-far but very steep walk up from a layby on the Skipton - Burnsall road. Trig in good condition with original plug. Sight holes open but not possible to see through

No direct path from the road but a feel for the summit got us there. Excellent views to Lower Bardon reservoir, Skipton quarry and to Simon's Seat TP. Still blowing a gale. The weather was very good after a poor start to the morning.

A nice walk from Embsay as we did a 13 mile circular walk taking in two other trigs. Really nice weather and lovely views.

Easy access on good paths from either the cattle grid at SE 03158 55073 up the path beside the wall - or the access path at SE 03417 55159 beside the signpost. Huge cairn dominates the hill top but great views around. Look out for the "stone man" on the path from the cattle grid! I would also echo the comment earlier about the odd concave top on this pillar - very obvious and must have caused problems for surveyors?

First column I have seen with a slightly concave top surface. Looks like a partial collapse when constructed, or some sort of erosion.

Easily accessible on open access moorland. From the east not visible until reaching it as hidden behind large cairn. I came up from the car park at Black Hill. There was a narrow path to follow - once found! A lovely elevated moorland location with extensive views. Pillar is in good condtion with original plug with indented lettering. All four holes open.

Quite close to road near Eastby. A quick climb gets you there. Views are good on a day like today. Trig is next to a well built cairn.

It's nice up here with a good view in most directions, would be wonderful when the heather's in bloom. No mountain or motor bike tracks - brilliant! No cars, on foot! Revisited 20/05/2007.
