Easy walk on footpath slightly leaning

Parked to the north and used the public footpath. Only one electric fence to be unclipped, and no livestock in the field. An unspectacular bag, but an easy one.

A short walk out through fields from Hanley Swan to stretch legs after yesterdays Malvern Midsummer Marathon LDWA challenge event. Nice N-S profile of the Malvern hills on western horizon.

Parked on the road to the north of the pillar near a house called 'The Orchards'. Took the public right of way from there up to the pillar, which involved crawling under two electric fences

Near to Hanley Castle field walk

Parked near the pub in Henley Swan (looked like a good one, but we were due to check out of our accommodation later that day). Walked along the pavement by the B4209 and took the second public footpath that leads straight to the Trig. Passed by a memorial to the Canadian crew of a Wellington bomber. Further along I noticed some mistletoe growing above the path. ‘Twas the season to be jolly, so I waited for my better half to catch up. Was worth the wait. No electric fencing and the cows were a respectful distance away so accessed the Trig with ease. With the sun low in the sky and Malverns, we enjoyed a great backdrop. Trig seems to be leaning a little.

Parked to the north in a layby opposite farm. Lots of electric fences around and about and confusing foodpath markers. Trig hidden in hedge and today the flush bracket evaded us as a large herd of cows with an electric fence around them guarded the Trigpoint.

Decided to find 1 geocache, 1 trigpoint and 1 hilltop during my 5 mile morning run. Hidden away in a hedge. Couldn’t see it from the path side of the hedge, so had to attack from the other field.

Walked from nearby campsite before breakfast. In several places path was obstructed by electric fences and when we eventually got to pillar flush bracket was either buried in hedge or round the other side of it - by this time had lost the will to go back round and check! View towards Malvern's nearly worth the effort!

Easy to locate and access pillar. Not so easy to locate and avoid the hundreds of cow pats on the path in. Pillar is starting to disappear into the hedge and it has a slight chip on top.

Pleasant walk up to the trig which we could see from afar. The hedge has been cut almost to ground level so easy access. Very misty this morning with faint outline of the Malverns but would be a splendid view all round (apart from the old incinerator).

Collected this one on a walk from Great Malvern to the Three Kings beer festival at Hanley Castle. Followed the somewhat muddy footpath from the North. Looks as though the farmer has has been hedge flailing since the pillar is easily found in the hedge.

Well and truly buried in the hedge - almost impossible to find from the West side, difficult from the east, which probably explains why it is in such good, unvandalised, condition.

We parked by the fork in the lane, to the north of the pillar. There is a new farm track made of sleepers but that’s not a public RoW so we walked past the house to the start of the footpath… which is. A pleasant walk across the meadow and up the hedge-line to the pillar. It’s deep inside the hedge and not easy to spot at this time of year. It’s complete with all its metalwork but appears to be leaning slightly to the left as you look at it from the path. If you can see over the hedge, the view west towards the Malvern Hills is the best.

Very deeply embedded in a hedge between a newly-ploughed field and a pasture field. All intact with a plug with slightly indented lettering. Just a little white paint still visible but impossible to see the sight holes due to the thickness of the hawthorn hedge. The pillar appears to be leaning very slightly to the left as you face the flush bracket. Superb views of Malvern Hills to the west and Bredon is visible to the east. Spooked a lovely buzzard when I walked into the field from the lane.

At the time of logging (Jan 2005) this was my lowest trig point of nearly 200, which is not surprising since this is essentially in the Severn Valley. Excellent views of Malvern Hills. Easy access via public footpath.

On a footpath alongside a rape field. Amazingly the path is on the same side of the thick hedge as the pillar. Now that summer is back, vegetation is playing hell with accesibility and visibility. Pillar is almost entirely in the hedge. Interesting birdsong.. yellow wagtail? Tried to get this one in Oct 2001, the path was open, but F&M paranoia was still rampant. No livestock here now.
