(3145) Good parking on Barrowden Road. Crop in field, so like others, walked the field boundary to the pillar. All told a walk of around 400m.The pillar is in fine condition and sports all its metalwork. A small plaque inscribed 'David Holmes' adorns one side of the pillar. Pillar history: Built on the 22nd of February 1952, at a cost of £16 2s 4d. Last maintained by the OS in January of 2000.

Pulled over on side of lane heading north from the A47 about a mile north east of Barrowden. Quiet road pulled in where field ends and woods start. Memorable for the disgusting fly tipped pallets of eggs. The stench, tried to stay upwind of it. West along edge of woods to west field boundary then south for about 250 metres. Pillar spotted only when quite close as hedge quite thick and weeds grown up. A bit of tidying up but needed heavy duty gardening tools to do a proper job. Could easily have dropped into the ditch immediately to west when trying to get all round photographs. Spider and cap in place. Farmland views to east and south. Afterwards riding away was able to see pillar from the road on hedge line.

Followed irrigation ditch from lane all the way to the TP to avoid trampling young crops. Primroses just starting to bloom. Trig in excellent condition, views ok.

Easy spot from the lane, just had to navigate round the edge of the field planted up with winter wheat.

Parked almost opposite and walked across the field to the trigpoint which is well hidden within the vegetation - so much so I never saw the dedication plaque.

Walked across the cropfield from the road to the E. Trig is in hedgerow - although there's not much hedgerow, just small clumps of vegetation.

A joint visit with Carole. We parked at the field entrance next to the wood to the north-east. Then simply followed the wood and field edge round to the pillar. It is enclosed in the hedge but at this time of the year easily located on the south-eastern side of it and the ditch. Appears in good condition and still retains an original metal plug with indented lettering.

Snow and ice put paid paid to my original plans so had to settle for bagging just this one. Pulled off main road and walked up iced up lane to E. Bit wary, as car parked opposite TP and shotguns being fired nearby, so followed field boundary round from wood to N. TP in scrubby hedgeline in vgc with original plug underneath covering of snow. Wintery vista to E and S.

There is easy parking on the minor road. Pulled up behind another car. I was worried it was the farmer but I tihnk it was to do with a 4x4 event nearby. Took the field edge route. There are two clumps of daffs in flower next to the trig.

It's OSR and already in flower this year and no easy access lines. Gave up when the tractor line gave out at 150m
