Close to the wash, able to drive right up to the trig, but I followed others, parked at Guys Head Lighthouse and walked along the bank by the marsh for the scenic route.

A very wet and windy November day with the light fading fast. The road past the trig is not the best, full of deep pot holes and it will only get worse as there is field after field of sugar beet. Also found two MOD observation towers for the bombing range off of the coast, day was complete with Chinook low level fly by.

Parked next to the pillar. Composite disc replaces centre cap; sight holes not checked - all below ground level. Flat farmland views.

Not on the best road in the world but you can still drive to it. Local walkers were oblivious to the car that was behind them, focussing on me in my car.

Roadside trig by drainage channel below level of sea bank so no view one side and open fields to the other. Dull.

(1046) An easy one to get to - a succession of narrow fen roads brings you right to it. There's a fairly large pull-in just shy of the location, but you can drive right up to the pillar as well. As I arrived so did a anxious looking farmer. Two cows had gotten loose, and was roaming free near the pillar, but they didn't cause any bother. Well, not to me at least. Pillar all good, though the cap is a replacement one. OS plaque in place. Nettles quite high around the FB, but soon trampled down. An earlier pillar (TP10119) used to be at the location, but no sign of that remains.

Plastic cap. No views from this pillar. Its a surprise that it is not on top of the neighbouring embankment.

Bagged this Trig after completing the nearby cache, it was a bit bleak out here today. This place really is the end of the earth.I can see why being posted down here was considered a punishment posting for the local old Bill.

Arrived at Gedney to do an AA walk but the weather was awful Judy informed me of Trig Pillar in this area,drove the road and was surprised at its locction.The reason being this sea wall is a second one to claim more land for farming.If you make it to Gedney pop in and see Ernie at the Rising Sun WOW did not realise places like this still existed.Did the walk in torrential rain total change of clothes when we arrived back at car.This part of the wash is a training area for the RAF,so it is well worth a walk along sea wall to view targets etc.

The first location on day two of my East Anglia expedition. This T/P is at the side of the road and easily accessible. It’s generally in good condition with a small chip out of one top edge and a replacement plug. The views aren’t much with dyke on two sides and arable farm land on the others.

The FB no is definitely 10673 not S1067 as according to the OS list. Plug is missing with a plastic bung in its place. GPS plaque.
