Walked along the Test Way from car park to the east. The trig field is still stubble so access was a bit easier than expected. A bit hazy today.

Walked from Combe Gibbet car park. Followed the footpaths and then there is an uncultivated strip of the field that leads directly to the pillar. Pillar in good condition and great views.

About three hundred metres south of the footpath. Tricky access across arable field. Pillar is on the field boundary running east to west. Good views to south west. Way out was easier by following field boundary east over crest of hill to hedge then north to gate beside a clump of about four sturdy beech trees.

I'm not sure why there's a fallow strip all the way across this stony, muddy field, but I'm very glad there is, as it makes reaching this trig a lot easier.

The byway along here is almost impossible to cycle along on this bike. I think I kneed much more knobbly tyres to do this track. At least the weather seems to be getting better.

Parked at the car park to the E of the trig station, then walked W on Wayfarer's Walk until we came to the junction with the path that goes S (approx. SU358621). From here, we entered the field (that the trig station was in) from where the 6 tall trees were. The crop had been harvested and the ground was completely dry (we're in the middle of a very long and hot summer) so we just walked across the field until we got to the trig station. There were a few very impressive, very tall straw stacks in the field that we could see all the way from Walbury Hill. The trig station was in good condition, concrete base exposed, with original metal cap. Tip for future visitors: if you visit at a time when there are crops in the field, here's how to get to the trig: after you enter the field where the 6 tall trees are, walk S along the fenceline / hedge (that goes NS). I.e. walk S next to the path (the path is in the NS direction) but walk on the W side of the hedge. Walk until you get directly E of the trig, then walk W along the wide tractor track. The tractor track is in the EW direction and it will take you straight to the trig. * * * Revisited 5 December 2017: the farmer has deliberately left a strip of uncultivated land in the EW direction that leads directly to the trig. Follow this strip. See pics attached. Also, as noted by previous loggers, the trig is not at the highest point of this hill, so it's difficult to find unless you're walking along the strip of uncultivated land.

Approximate time. Hot walk along the Ridgeway path and then a crop-less 'highway' across the middle of the field to the pillar which is c.100m west of the high point of the field.

Up past the ghoulish Combe Gibbet accompanied for much of the way by an inquisitive red kite. The field containing this pillar has recently been ploughed, so it was an easy jog across the furrows and not at all muddy. Good time to do this one before the rains come. Pillar, with its plug intact, is in very good condition considering its position - must have some very careful tractor drivers up here. Following this walk, on to watch Swindon Town 2-1 Plymouth Argyle in the 'Paint Pot' Trophy so: fine walk, three trigs, two churches, and a step nearer Wembley.

Not to be confused with the Inkpen (aka Walbury Hill) trig which is 2km to the east. First time I visited this trig the field was planted with rape that was mature and impenetrable. This visit the crop had ben harvested and although ploughed and sown with a new crop, the ground was dry(ish), firm and the crop not showing, so easy-peasy. Parked near the gibbet at top of Gallows Down and walked both the Inkpen trigs. Pillar is in good condition and some good views, particularly to the south, but also north from the ridgeway path.

If you are going to look for this in high summer, take a step ladder. Field planted with crops, no convenient tractor lines, on a broad plateau and I wasn't tall enough to see over it all! (Oddly according to the map, the trig is also not on the highest point as there is a high point 2 m higher immediately to the east)

This is set on a concrete plinth and is quite hard to see from the edge of the field as it's lower than the horizon. It looked pink so I don't know what it is made from. Metal plug with lightly indented lettering. Two hares bounded away from us as we approached it. On the way home, a barn owl flew out of a tree over the road into the field beyond. It's the first time I've ever seen one in the wild.
