Third trig of my Settle Limestine circular. Got here from Rye Loaf Hill, crossing the moors via the mast to the SW and descending to the delightful Scalebar Force. Followed the lanes round to here, found gate entrance, easy climb. Sheep using pillar to scratch back and big raptor pellet on top. Pillar in good nick, lots of lichen, still has original cap, dightholes being grown into at ground level. Good views all round. Great day out!

After Langcliffe and a visit to Scaleber, we nipped into Settle for an ice cream, and then decided we had just enough time to bag Hunter Bark before home time. I drove to Long Preston, up the Pennine Bridlepath, almost destroyed the car on a bump in the road at SD 82793 60033, and parked up as the road ended and became a track. In truth, I could easily have driven further as the track is good enough. A quick trot along the track soon led to a finger post at SD 82829 60778, and there was a good sheep trod up the hill and straight to the pillar. This is another excellent, easy access Dales pillar in fine condition with lovely, far-reaching views. We returned the same way with the sunset in our eyes. A lovely pillar to visit, and #56 for my little companion.

I worked on the nearby farm (Mearbeck) in 1980 and thought I could walk straight to the pillar on my first revisit since then. Turned out it wasn't on the nice heather moorland as I pictured it to be, but on the grassy hill to the south west. Back in 1980 we came up here to help fireman put out a moorland fire in the middle of a very dry spell, similar to summer 2018. Walked up from the end of MItchell Lane

An adventure! Do not try to access down the track from the N - although marked as a yellow road on the OS 50k, it is an impassible track, even in a 4WD. Not to be defeated, we tried from the S (Long Preston) and this time drove easily up to the gate into the field. Wonderful all round views even on a very grey evening, metal cap, shallow letters and in exc cond.

Just off the Pennine Bridleway but does require a tricky barbwire scramble from the field corner to the east, or approach from south and use the gate. Unremarkable summit, but blessed with splendid views. Final one of three today, and managed to slip on descent and bang my knee badly, making final two miles or so back to Long Preston quite painful - it's swollen nicely as I write this!

Visited to record FB number. The pillar was completed 26th June 1949 costing £13.8s.3d. In 1951 this marker was computed as tertiary station SD96/T18 in the Skipton secondary block. Flush bracket S5436 was levelled for height also in 1951. This trig point was last maintained by the OS in June 1976.
