Loved it and the weather was dramatic- brilliant views all around- treacherous ground to get there - we just followed the road all the way up and turned right at the cattle grid - it’s not too long before the trig comes into view.

With Ceri Evans, left my van back at base in Arncliffe and her van in the pub CP at the Tennants Arms and followed the Mastiles Lane W towards Malham, hopping the wall at its highest point due N of the pillar; before onwards W to the Roman Camp then NE back to Arncliffe via Parsons Pulpit. Fabulous weather, terrific views, not even the phenomenally obnoxious cyclist we encountered along Mastiles Lane could spoil this walk.

Short but tough underfoot walk from road by cattle grid at SD951 652. Real ankle breaking terrain if not careful. Glad to have bagged it in summer as suspect would be very damp in winter! Pillar in good nick, all metalwork intact and a nice crust of lichen thriving on the top. Extensive views in every direction, wpuld make a good camp spot if your prepared to lug water in.

Parked due S (SD 9514 6530). Followed fenceline up, then short section over rough moorland where the trig sits looking a little forlorn (as only a lonely moorland trig can be). An original centre cap is retained, indented lettering; rear sight hole sealed, other 3 open. Misty views to adjacent fells.

Drove up the minor road from Grassington as far as it goes and then its a 20-30 minute walk. Trig in good condition with original plug but it seems to have tilted a little and has a concave top. A cool, overcast and misty day so the views weren't brilliant but there are interesting limestone pavements nearby and evidence of ancient lead mining.I was also watching some curlews trying to see off a flock of gulls.

No bull in the field - although I kept looking over my shoulder for the whole ascent up to the trig - this is a big field! Walked in thru Bordley and what a bloody awful place that is - filthy, dirty, smelly place - it was good to get out onto the hill for a breath of fresh air. Grand views from the trig. Shame the snow is going - its been a grand few weeks of easy walking without the usual winter mud! Walked back down to Gordale Scar and then along the Pennine Way back to Airton - good days walk with 14 miles and 3 trigs bagged.

Visited this one on a deviation from an overnight walk and camp between Grassington & Malham. Clambered over the dry stone wall at Mastiles Lane and made my way up to the summit. The large rock formation on top of the Trig in the previous log has since been removed or pushed off. An overcast day with some drizzle but still some decent views back towards Conistone & Kilnsey and ahead towards Malham. Trig in good nick with all features present. Ordnance Survey lists the computing year as 1951 and the height a/s/l as 450.494 metres (1478 feet).

Beautiful clear, cold, sunny November morning. The easiest way to approach this one is to walk along Malham Moor Road (from the Thresfield direction) until you reach a metal gate crossing the road with the sign 'Bordley Green Farm' attached. Go through the gate but turn right immediately North Eastish following the wall up the hill. Continue along the wall as it turns North Westish until you reach the junction of two wall. It's an easy climb over the top and the trig is not far away. Lovely views in all directions.

Tigged as an alternative to Meugher on today's outing (which includes New Pasture Edge trig - see log). It was actually just as misty up here with very poor visibility but given the walling it wasn't too difficult. Walked up the road from Theshfield that eventually turns into Malham Moor Road, here I turned right along the bridleway, upon reaching the first wall I turned left (noted the gate sign 'Beware Bull In Field' - such a comfort when visiblity is 50 - 100ft at best!). Followed the wall to eventually veer eastish and reach the narrow walled/fenced section that heads towards Kilnsey. At this point I scrambled over the wall and just sort of headed NE in what I thought was the right direction - couldn't see a thing (on a good day it's probably a piece of pi**). Got the trig - which is surrounded by a nice circle of stones - returned the way I came to follow the narrow track between wall/fence to eventually reach Mastiles Lane then Kilnsey and back to Grassington. Turned out to be a 19+ miler on a grotty day. Score is irrelevant today.
