Parked on Height Road. Took the public right of way / footpaths from there up to the pillar. As others have highlighted, there is chunk missing from one of the top corners. An excessive amount of white paint has been applied to the flush bracket and spider

DD & I enjoyed a lovely day out today, but the climb straight upwards from Mytholmroyd station onto Sheep Stones Edge was an absolute killer. As someone mentioned, it is almost 1000ft of unrelenting ascent straight uphill, via criss-crossing ROWs and roads. With a 7-year-old in tow and the blazing sun beating down... the trig appeared like a mirage on the horizon. Pillar is covered in thick, gleaming white paint, but this has obscured the spider and flush bracket and disguised a fairly big chunk missing from a top edge. Sensational views though, in every direction - it's a cracking trig, on access land so very straightforward. Pillar #75 for my little adventure girl. We headed down into Hebden Bridge for refreshments and the train home.

I fancied a quick walk this morning and as this is now a YOSM I headed out to find it. Parked up on Height Road and then took a track to the base of the moor before following one of the many paths that join up to the Calderdale Way. A short uphill section and I had arrived. Good views in all directions and a sea of brown heather covering the moorland into the distance. Trig has a few small chips to the top and the recent paint is now starting to weather.

Splendid views across the Calder valley today from here and nearby Crow Hill. A bit moist on the open moor today. First of the days trigs in an 18 miler from Hebden Bridge to Halifax. As John Riley says, its Sheep Stones Edge really - why Keelam? The only Keelham (note the H) I can see on the OS map is a direct 3 miles SSE of here. A fortnight after this entry I followed teds reasonable path which is indeed not on the map but easy enough to follow to High Brown Knoll but unfortunately the mountain bikers have found it too with the result that its quite boggy in places.
