My visit appears to have been identical to Wheresthatpenguin's. The biggest difficulty is parking up. I ended up stashing the car into the tiniest scrap of layby on Withins Road, and taking the ROW to the south of the trig field. As per previous logs, the ROW takes you past the trig field, but there is no gate or fence, it's all totally open. You're not in view of any farm or house, so a quick nip off the ROW to visit the pillar takes a couple of minutes, max. It is unfortunately badly damaged: decapitated and unloved. It commands a pretty decent outlook, so it's a big shame it has been vandalised like this. An easy trespass bag.

Parked on Withens Road. Took the public right of way (PRoW) to the south west of the pillar up to SE 05129 28802. At that point, walked through an open gate into the field to the south east of the trig field. The entrance to the trig field is gateless and completely open. The top of the pillar is extremely badly damaged, with the spider having been completely ripped out

So to my 500th log, couple of duplicates in there too so I get another noteable soon. Lovely it's this spot in familiar lands where I first really got into walking. Lovely day - out to Ovenden then across Warley Moor to Luddenden before a walk in the dusk with Canadian Geese and a bat. Has a bit of everything, old routes, sense of boundaries, wild moors, lost stately piles, then the most beautiful stream and woods.

Through gate then direct route following east side of boundary wall/fence to trig. Grazing field. Pillar maliciously damaged presumably by metal thieves. Whole spider missing, top of pillar mutilated. Failed attempt to remove flush bracket, old damage. Tool damaged flush bracket faces NNE, compass measurement 13°. Vented through three sight holes, SE face plugged, innards filled with debris. Full 360° panoramic view from trig point.

Visible and accessible if you are prepared to trespass. No need to climb over any walls or gates if the ladder stile is used by the small lay-by on Wainstalls Road just to the north of the trig. Over stile and through an open gateway and openable barrier will then bring you to the trig point. Top is badly damaged with all four corners missing as is plug. Central metal core badly rusted. However, flush plate still in good condition. Not the highest point arround but still some expansive views.
