Approached from the North having called at the Brown Wardle site first. A detour from the PRoW at the pylon brings you to the pillar which today had cows in the vicinity. Reasonable views, Pillar seen better days. A pleasant evening and an enjoyable 8 mile circular walk from Dearnley.

The 3rd of 4 pillars visited today. I came up from the north over the presently closed golf course then continued south back onto the Rochdale Way. You can make Rochdale town out by the mosques and minuets. Only visited the bus interchange in this town, but dump and third world comes to mind. I have to give Lidl the pillars today, people are so deprived of excitement at the moment they are visiting the store for a "day out".

Bagged this one after scaling Inchfield Moor and the cairn-in-place-of Trig Point on Brown Wardle Hill on a 13.4 mile circular walk from Walsden. A tiring walk indeed but the weather was great for November, a bit boggy underfoot though. This one is on the edge of a golf course, so watch out when trying to bag it! You can follow a detailed walking route and write up of this walk by typing Fell Finder into Google - thanks.

Out with my walking group - The Irregulars, LDWA - and our route passed nearby so the opportunity for melch and myself to detour to this pillar was just too good not to miss. We approached from the Pennine Bridleway to the west and simply followed the line of pylons to the summit. Pillar in good condition although the plug has gone walkabout leaving the pillar open to the elements. Another nice location on edge of moorland golf course.
