Nice remote feel about this pillar. Walked in from Swanlaws Farm, Borders (NT 7711 1594), over a few other hills first. The pillar has a poor coat of white paint, looks great from a distance, but poorly applied. Centre cap missing, no plug; rear sight hole open. Great views... of heather clad hills!

Walked from Buckham Bridge on bridleway to Yarning Law and on the last section a bee line straight up to Lamb Hill, calling at the Refuge hut and then the same route down. Lot of army lads about today.

I came up onto the PW via Hindside Knowe, Swineside Law to Mozie Law on an excellent quad track. Returned via Carlcroft Hill and onto Hindside Knowe again. Third time visiting this pillar and refuge hut (stayed overnight once delivering two bottles of champagne to a friend over the border, to celebrate NYE). I gift to a certain actor who celebrated a victory this past week in a deformation case. Justice for Johnny.

My second visit, though I’ve also previously walked past it in conditions so poor I don’t think I even spotted it. Not quite that bad today, but initially a major disappointment. Parked by Carlcroft and headed N up to summit of Beefstand Hill then followed the Border Ridge W. Weather deteriorated sharply the higher and further we went and could see nothing from the TP when we reached it. We waited for the cloud and rain to clear, but it seemed like Storm’s first Scottish TP was going to be nothing but clag...hoping that was not to be an omen of things to come! About 5 minutes after leaving the summit and descending to the Mountain Refuge Hut the clag did clear, so we nipped back up to the top to grab some worthwhile photos of the views.

A bracing 5hr winter walk starting and finishing at Buckhams Bridge. Wild mountain goats and lots of sheepfolds.Bitterly cold at this trig point.It presented us with superb panoramic views of the Cheviot Hills and the hills of Scotland. The mountain rescue hut is well located to seek protection from the wind.Lots of interesting things to chew over especially Chew Green.The sunset was the icing on the cake.

Last long walk in the Cheviots alas but a fine crisp start and sun to tint the beautiful waves of cold cloud. The stunning and very wet border ridge via Dere Street, Shillhope and Cheviot hold the view with Great Dun rising into view, darkened sun dazzle, from the very top of Lamb Hill. Say hello to Rubers and Hownam Laws too - great week.

Parked at the bottom of the Rowhope Burn and walked up to Carlcroft before taking the paths up Carlcroft Hill and heading for the Mountain Refuge Hut and picking up the Pennine Way / Border Ridge North East. Combined with Beefstand Hill, Mozie Law and Windy Gyle before dropping back down to Rowhope, a good five hour walk with my longest suffering friend, Doctor Mike. Great weather and great views all day - superb.

Pennine Way Day 2 of 17. Fourth and final trig of the day. Once again a nip over the border fence into Scotland was required, but pillar very near to path. Great views once again tempered somewhat by the fact that our water was running very low with miles in the sun still to walk. Lesson? Never ever carry more beer than water. Lived to tell the tale though and after quenching thirsts at Colin's in Byrness a lovely cider was to follow.

Second of the day and the weather improving. Decent wind to keep the midges away! Parked in 'lay-by' near to Blind Burn and followed the bridle way north to the pennine way and the trig. Wet underfoot, a few folk on the pennine way but all in the distance. Great views into Scotland, south to Cross Fell and East to Simonside and the Cheviot massif. Went on to Windy Gyle in what turned out to be a 16km round.

Local access from the Scottish side is from Buchtrig. Road end parking is on the private farmyard where permission to park was sought and kindly given. The residents of Buchtrig are friendly towards walkers. This pillar is on English soil and is passed when walking the Pennine Way. Column in good condition. Spider centre open. FB faces southwest along national border, compass measurement 228°. Back (NE) sight hole open, others plugged. Although the pillar appears to stand on the Scottish side of the fence, the national boundary runs parallel, a few metres NW of the fence line at this point.
