Parked behind Hlafway Bridge pub. Walk down farm track. Easy find. Damaged, bit of masonry falling off. My 6th trig of the day and it was starting to get dark.

Staying at a cottage in River, Mrs G and I strolled down past the vineyard to the TP which overlooks the A272. Pleasant afternoon stroll before tea.

A nice, easy bag offering a great view. Walked up footpath/driveway to stile, straight up the hill, and there it is. Well, minus a few chunks from the top...

Parked in lane that loops off the A272. Walked along track / driveway towards house and over stile to take the righthand path up to the trig point. Nice and easy one.

Short walk from lay-by at Half Way Bridge, up a track over a stile and head for the highest point. The pillar is badly damaged, presumably by frost. Crumbling away. Sad to see. Good views to the south.

The best views achieved by walking down from Lodsworth St Peter's church, meeting the road, then back up through River. Hazy day, but was able to see Bexley Hill and Southdowns.

Pillar has a few big chunks out of the top. Walked up from the south west using the footpath.

Nice cycle along roads to get to this one. I was helped by a friendly dog walker who knew what I was on about when I said I was looking for an OS pillar. Left bike by style and walked up last bit ti it. Nice views.

Extensively damaged pillar, so it was a pleasant surprise to see that its original cap (with deep lettering) still survives. One s/h open.

Slightly frosty morning which was perfect for a longer walk, but due to a heel injury only hobbled up the footpath from the road to get this one!

Short walk on RoW from minor road to SW. Pillar is indeed in a poorly state with top badly damaged and an odd screed coating on all vertical faces largely cracked and broken away; further damage has been sustained to 2 vertical edges. All looks like frost damage to either a weak mix, or has been hit allowing water ingress. Such is condition that it must surely be moved on from 'Slightly Damaged' to 'Damaged' imho. Original cap retained, deeply indented lettering; rear sight hole open. Nice 360deg panorama, particularly S to northern escarpment of South Downs.

In field of rough pasture where someone has been pulling up the Ragwort and leaving it in small piles. Pillar has unusual peeling outer screed. Good views of the South Downs. Feeling weary in the sultry heat. Off back to the excellent but expensive woodland campsite at Graffham.

I parked on 'loop' road just to the north of A272 near Beggars Corner. Then it was just a simple matter of following footpaths directly to the pillar. As others have said some of the cladding has gone and the top has been damaged where someone has tried to remove the spider. However, an original metal indented lettered plug remains. A nice pastoral location.

Circular walk from Lodsworth (good pub there and an excellent example of sustainable architecture in their new community shop). Trig has now lost most of its render, and someone has tried to lever out the spider, taking chunks out of the top. Also (a first for me) weeds growing in the top, inhabited by a colony of vicious biting ants! No views to north, but great views of South Downs all the way east to Chanctonbury Ring.

Parked at the end of the lane at spot height 24. AN easy walk up and a real surprise - amazing views Southwards. Much better than expected. Great spot. Shame about the new woodland to the North or the panorama would be even better. Me 52m

Great views South

Bagged this one to make our 4th of the day, a record for us. Parked in the lane and followed public footpath to house at the end, over the fence and up the hill, done. Not in very good condition this one. Looked like it had rendering on it at some point and was painted white. The top is damaged to, all in tact though.

Picked this one up as part of a bike ride it made a good place for a snack.There is still some paint left on this but sadly it looks like the rendering is breaking up in places. The views were nice enough though for a short stop.

Located in a field on a public footpath. The pillar has a number of cracks in its structure. At some it appears to have been covered in a layer of cement about half an inch thick. Most of this has now fallen off.
