Parked on the road to the east of the pillar. Took the public right of way (PRoW) from there. At SO 56015 93920, left the PRoW and walked along the hedge line between the field and Mogg Forest up to the pillar, which can be found in front of the hedge. The flush bracket is on the hedge side. Replaced the Larden Grange pillar.

A rather misty miserable morning passes to a scowly afternoon, beautiful place though - from Widderhope Manor to Easthope a loop back on to the ridge (walked on field edge instead of a wade in the woods) then back via Shropshire Way. As well as the grey coming from Wales feature of the holiday are the beautiful old oaks (fine one in Easthope church grounds with a little bench).

HISTORY: Pillar built to replace nearby Larden Grange (FB No. S1994) which was destroyed in October 1970. Replacement column completed 20th October 1970, cost not on record. Computed as tertiary triangulation SO79/T34 during 1970. Levelled for height to Class 1 tertiary standards in 1972. Last maintained by the OS in June 1982. SITE VISIT: Approached from southwest. Parked by Wilderhope Manor Youth Hostel at SO544928. Followed mapped RoW network passing small pond then up to ridge and followed field boundary lines to top. The top field is arable but with wide edge strips. Pillar in good condition. Spider retains original OS centre cap with shallow engraved letters. Flush bracket faces WNW into field boundary, compass measurement 289°. Vented through SW sight hole. 270° panoramic view from ENE through south to NNW.

Parked at YHA and walked up the track in the Dale. Past pilgrims cottage and straight up the slope to the top. Trig along field edge to pillar. Met Carol from Huddersfield who was just completing the last of her Shropshire trigpoints. Nice to bump into my first fellow TP bagger. Also nice to have my wife along for a change.

Arrived YHA Wilderhope Manor a bit early so up here to bag the trig and associated Fegg Hill tump. Pleasant walk up from a stunning YHA - Elizabethan Grade I listed NT property, not the warmest hostel we've been in but at £22 for a private room for the night def not complaining. Pillar, replacement for Larden Grange, in good condition; FB facing into wire fence - fair bit of thorn and other vegetation needed clearing to access it. Original cap in place, indented lettering; 1 sight hole open; vestiges of white paint job evident. Almost 360deg views, slightly restricted NE by Moggforest.

Set off from Brockton to include the nearby Hill Fort. Was a clear day and good views were to be had of Abdon Burf (Brown Clee), Titterstone Clee, and The Wrekin.

East facing face. There's nothing quite like a nice cup of coffee after a bagging :-)

Plug intact. Pillar on field side of fence but FB facing into woodland. Views of The Wrekin, Brown Clee and upper Corvedale. Noisy sheep. No sign of the foundations of the original pillar - assume it was slightly further into the field where it might have been an obstruction to agricultural equipment.

According to the 1994 OS list this is Mogg Forest. Probably a rebuild of Larden Grange, hence the 5 figure number. We parked near Pilgrim Cottage and headed straight up from there. Plug with indented lettering.

A new low number. The view is limited now to the north by woodland, but very fine down into Corvedale. Path up through woods (crazy name, Mogg Forest - no cats or calves though) from the north was very muddy and slippery. Many pheasants. Pillar in good condition and intact. Possibly 11444 - replaced old pillar S1994 which was nearby.
