Parked at north end of Holtham Lane, steady climb, lane obvious route, a couple of turns then as it begins to level out, nearly at the highest point, turn left through hedge, pillar is about fifty metres into a stubble field. Good views to north and east. Good condition.

Parked at the end of the lane and ducked through a hole in the hedge into the field on the right. Nice wide open space and easy to find.

Pillar in field; not much by way of views... unless you count the field border itself, which was covered in the densest and most brightly coloured profusion of wild flowers I think I've ever seen!

Parked edge of road near pillar. Farmer type person was also parked there on his phone so decided to walk up lane and go through the dense hedgerow. On way back followed edge of field as much easier.

Parked to the south where the bridleway intersects the road. Walked up the bridleway and there was a gap in the hedge adjacent to the trig pillar. Trig pillar in good condition. Pleasant views over Hampshire.

On a circular walk from Selborne. Accessed field through gap in hedge just to NW of pillar and as field ploughed but not planted made a quick dash across for photos.

Short distance from road. Approached via grassy field margin on RHS of hedge, trig visible and 20m NE of hedge in field of recently planted crop - tip toed between the green shoots. Large flat hill top, possibly high point. Pleasant weather but uninspiring farmland views.

Parked as per previous logger but made the mistake of walking along Holtham Lane which necessitated a cut (literally) through hedgerow to field. Pillar 20m or so into arable field with young cereal crop growing. Original cap in place, lightly indented lettering; left, right and rear sight holes open, front plug degrading. Good views all directions bar SW, obscured by hedgerow. Didn't spot previous loggers 2p coin.

Approached from the SE, parked where Holtham Lane meets Button's Lane, then walked along the fieldside of the hedge. Nothing in the field at this time of the year, although it might be tricky to get to this one in the summer when there will be crops in the field. Trig in good condition with original metal cap, all sightholes open. I left a 2p coin in the front sighthole for the next visitor to find.

Out walking in the rain getting a soaking. It was damp, dreich, drenching, drizzly, (you get the picture?) but also delightful. I try not to let bad weather stop my walking adventures. This trigpoint is easy to locate; threaded my way carefully through the young growth in the field to find s1670 in good condition. Rather misty today so limited views, but still worth getting a soaking for.

Located just in field full of wheat - i walked along the wrong side of the hedge, luckily there is a hole near the pillar - good condition farmland views.

I parked on the road to the south-east just where the bridleway joins it. Then walked along the fieldside of the hedge to reach the pillar. A young cereal crop was sprouting but plenty of room to get by. Pillar is in good condition and still retains an original indented lettered plug. A nice arable rural location.

A good walk along the side of the field, better than the muddy track with good views. Trig in good condition with cap still fitted.

Circular walk from the Pub with No Name (great place, excellent lunch), via Hawkley. Very grey and windy day so views not great. Trig easily accessible (nothing of note in field) and in good condition. Nearly got shot on the way back to the car (whilst on a right of way!), fortunately something which has happened to me only once in 30 years of walking.
