The most south-easterly pillar in Sussex. Luckily there is a lay-by right next to the pillar. Probably very busy in summer. Very disappointed to discover the flush plate is half buried in concrete hiding the FB number. Most inconsiderate. Marked down for that reason. Wanted to be more generous as it’s at an extremity of the county and completes the set for Sussex. Revisit 12 February 2024, cycled from Rye, equipped with tool to excavate FB but really only needed a trowel as it was hidden by build up of sand which was easier to remove than expected. A nearby piece of discarded wood was used as a shovel to remove loose sand after digging into it with a screwdriver. Washed off remaining sand with water from my drink bottle. The FB number has been added to my log and score increased from 4 to 6. On the sea wall nearby is a notice with information about the work being done on the sea defences- Omission added. Bit confused by reading logs before and since my last visit in November 2021. Seems there was a layer of cement half burying the FB, but no other logs mentioned having removed it. Maybe someone dug it out in the meantime, not logged, and hole subsequently filled with blown sand.

I'm surprised I hadn't noticed this one before! I suppose it's because it is partly buried, it didn't look like a usual trigpoint. A very low elevation, but next to a great stretch of coastline. I stopped by to discover this one before conducting a coastal survey with modern satellite-based methods!

Pillar partly buried into tidal wall and was an unexpected bonus for me. I spotted it on my satnav on a trip to Dungeness lighthouses, so missed the nearby observational tower (satnav only has pillars and FBMs).

The most easterly of the East Sussex pillars. Sits now within the sea defences with the FB partially buried by a cement screed - had a club hammer but no cold chisel so will have to leave this for a subsequent trigger to sort out! Pillar has an asphalt plug replacing top cap. All sight holes now below ground level. Sea and landscape views abound.

Easy bag as the sea wall operations have moved away. Pity it is now partially buried and the FB No. is hidden. It'll take many blows with a hammer and chisel to reveal it. Extensive views over Dungeness (sounds of distant gunfire), Camber Sands and the marshes. Careful how you go over Camber Sands. There's still a Pontins nearby!!

Currently immediately next to (but safe from) a huge project to rebuild the Camber sea wall. Has 8.22 written on the spider, so presumably this is the height of the top. (7m on the map). Views rearwards over the Marshes, but seaward views rather obstructed by the construction. Part buried, and excavating the FB also revealed a £2 coin, which at least went some way to alleviating Camber Sands' extortionate car parking charges. Asphalt cap, all s/holes buried, otherwise good condition.

Parked at the eastern end of Broomhill Sands car park from where it was a short walk East along the sea wall to the pillar. Pillar is easily found part buried in the sea wall just where the Lydd Rd turns inland opposite some bungalows. There is a small layby immediately below the pillar. Original plug has been replaced with tarmac but I suppose we should be thankful that the FB faces N and is therefore still accessible. Best views are across Rye Bay to the SW. Views inland across the rather flat Romney Marsh are unremarkable. Highly unusual to be so close to the sea whilst having a trig pillar for company - I'm more used to being on a hill top or in the middle of a desolate moor !!

Easy Trig find after a busy Bank Holiday at Camber Sands. Trig well sunk into the sea wall defences and the lowest above sea level I have ever done. O/S website lists the computing year as 1953 and the height a/s/l as 7.354 metres (24.13 feet).

The white paint has flaked off quite a lot on the S and W faces, presumably because of the prevailing wind. Apart from the plug replacement, the pillar is in good condition.

A flying visit to these parts but couldn't return home without finding one pillar! This one is beautifully white-painted. Comcrete plug replacement. Green FB due to salt spray. Embedded into the embankment by the sea so seems very squat. N views over marshes, E over Dungeness to the power station, S over the sea [just spotted a ferry!] and W to Camber. There is an ants nest under the pillar! Nice spot!
