Parked at Denham Hill Quarry car park. Walked down Holt Lane until the Lancashire Way bridleway forks right. Before a gate there is a stile R which allowed a very bracken strewn route to the summit and trig. Such lovely views, I can see why some baggers would come here at sunset. Views towards Southport, Black Coombe, Preston, Forest of Bowland, Pendle Hill, Darwen Tower, Winter Hill. Red rose on pillar which has very slight damage to the top.

Parked on Holt Lane. Took the public right of way (PRoW) up to SD 59211 23028. Left the PRoW at this point and took a track heading south east (not marked on OS maps) from there up a steep bank, which takes you to the summit of Hough Hill and the pillar. The cap was missing, so I replaced it. Some slight damage to the top.

From the car park to SW. Good track follows the rack face NE then up onto the top of the hill. Pillar has been painted white sometime ago (getting a bit care worn now) and sports a red rose stencil on each of the 4 faces. All top edges badly chipped; centre cap missing, no plug; BSM-style FB; LHS and RHS sight holes open. Extensive and impressive panoramic views.

Staying in the area on stopover on the way back home from the hols and searched the database for a trig to bag and this was the closest. Parked down the lane and walked through a jungle of a bridle path to get to the trig but the views were decent for not a lot of climbing. My first "decorated" trig - loved the red roses.

A short, sharp climb from the path at the north end of the quarry takes you directly to the trigpoint. The views were quite impressive but the dark clouds threatened imminent rain so I didn’t hang around long enough to appreciate them. The pillar is in good condition apart from the missing plug, leaving an eTrex size hole in the top. Just for the record... this is my 300th Trigpoint.

Got all the way to the trig then realised the SD card was not in the camera, but stuck back at home in the card reader. Had to run back down and found a spare in the car, so all the way back up again.
