Walked from Hartwith village trying to avoid the very energetic cows racing up and down the fields. As others have mentioned the pillar is in poor condition which is a shame for such a lovely location

From roadside short hike up the fields shame when you get to it someone's left it in this sad condition, Such a shame to see a trig in a great location with top views left like this because someone wants a souvenir and spoils it for the rest of us

Approached from the north parking on a grass verge near Edge Nook. Followed the bridleway passing the Old Vicarage and Prospect Farm. Interesting disused quarry in lush green field. Pillar situated near gorse and slightly elevated ground. Trig is severely damaged more likely vandalism than weathering. The metal spider has gone. Low cloud limited our view.

Managed to park up on the lush grass verge in Hartwith, and had a lovely little stroll down to the pillar. Had to carefully walk through a lot of sheep, but was pleasantly surprised to see the pillar largely unchanged from my previous visit. I hadn't expected it to survive, but it is hanging on in there. You'd suspect a really harsh winter might finish it off, mind. Pillar #28 for my little companion.

Dropped off on the B6165 and I ran up the FP. This was the first of 5 I visited that day so a fleeting visit. no parking along that road, so consider a longer walk in.

If anyone hasn't visited this one yet, I'd advise them to do so ASAP. It is in a sorry state, sadly. The spider has gone, and the whole top is crumbling away. There are long, deep cracks throughout the structure, with fresh pieces surrounding the base. We visited on a clear, if grey, day and it was such a shame to see that it has very recently suffered serious (possibly fatal) damage. I can't tell if this is weather or vandalism, but it's surely not long for this world.

Top The top has crumbled completely
Facing Including the debris field(!)
Bracket Intact
Cracks Look closely, and there are deep cracks throughout. The concrete has failed.
Debris Obviously recent, from the coloration, lack of weathering/vegetation etc.

HISTORY: Pillar completed 29th March 1954 costing £15.7s.11d. Computed as tertiary triangulation station SE38/T41 in 1955. Levelled for height also in 1955. Last maintained by the OS in March 1975. SITE VISIT: Approached from northeast. Parked in recess on south side of Stripe Lane by bend at SE220610. Walked ~250m NW up lane to mapped RoW keeping to that until SE212613 then turning SW following boundary lines to trig. Located in grazing field. Pillar damaged. Has suffered numerous blows from something, mainly nearer the top. Repairs have been undertaken but these have since weathered off. Spider centre capped with grey plastic disc fitted by Jon Rouse, 6/07/2003. Flush bracket faces southwest, ~212°. Vented through NW sight hole. 157° panorama spanning clockwise from SSE to NW.

I can see this Trig from my front garden but this was my first visit. A blustery and boggy half-mile walk over fields from Chapel Lane in Hartwith. Top of trig badly eroded. Plastic Plug. I suppose technically a minor trespass but a ROW crosses the far side of the same field and there are no properties within close sight of the Trig so only the sheep will know ! Good views over central Nidderdale.

Visible and easily accessible from nearby footpath without needing to climb over anything. Pillar has certainly seen better days. The errosion of the pillar would suggest a poor aggregate mix. Anyway, it is still there and is an excellent view point.

This trig point is indeed in a sorry state. A great bite has been taken out of the pillar just below the top and it looks terminal! A great pity otherwise I might well have adopted it(as I did with Heyshaw Moor) and given it a coat of paint. I can after all see it from home!
