Hyper muddy path at times, trig well enough set back from edge of crumbling cost to be safe for quite a long time. Very chilly coastal scene out across the ocean.

13/13 - Final one if day one of our New Forest trigbagging weekend. Parked at the Milford on Sea car park and followed PROW along field edge to the beach. Turned along E9 diamond path up hill to top of rise. Trig sits just inside field boundary. Easily passable fence. Amazing views of Solent, beach and IOW. Trig is in good condition with spider and FB intact.

Half a mile west of Milford on Sea along the B3058, car park on the left, south, of the road about 400 metres inland from the Cliff. Footpath quite overgrown but well used by people going to the beach. When reaching coast path head east and uphill. At the top, pillar visible to the left inside a field with a barbed wire fence. Just grassy field at the time. Excellent views across the Solent towards The Needles and west across to Hengistbury Head, Poole Bay and the Purbecks beyond. Take care along the path when admiring the views, undercutting from the sea is eroding the path. Pillar is about a hundred metres away from the cliff edge so should be ok for a few more years.

Approached this through Taddiford Gap car park, took the walking path to the sea and then turned left up a little hill when I reached the cliffs. The pillar is about twenty metres off the walking path and can be accessed fairly easily be sliding under a barbed wire fence. Good views over to The Needles on the IOW and also down towards Bournemouth. Pillar beginning to lean slightly.

I also parked in Taddiford Gap car park. £3 for 2 hours, and I was barely 20 minutes! Hey ho. Some great views from the cliff-edge path attracted a fair few walkers on this sunny Saturday afternoon, but none were present when I reached the trig, so I rolled under the barbed wire, quickly took a few snaps, and rolled back onto the path again all unobserved.

Blustery cliff top views to Isle of Wight. Is it just me or does this pillar actually lean backwards at about 5 degrees. Could be there is cliff rotation due to the collapse that is gradually occurring. Have marked it slightly damaged.

Parked Ronnie in the P&D CP (but didn't pay.....gasp!) and made the shortish walk to the trig. The cliff erosion is quite startling. I think this trig will take a dive in 50 odd years, which means that Hampshire will then have a new southernmost trig pillar

Handy car park on nearby B3058 - £1.50 for 2-hours, so poor value for money as used only 30p's worth of time! Trig 20m or so back from cliff-top path, in pasture. Path now closed for a short section to W of trig due to coastal erosion - it's still useable though, with care. Pillar found in good condition, but does have a small but noticeable tilt. Cap missing, asphalt plug; all sight holes open. Panoramic 360deg views - Isle of Wight good.

The pillar stands in a grass field overlooking Christchurch Bay. The field was entered over the barbed wire from the cliff top path a few metres to the south. It was visited during a bracing walk along the beach and above the cliffs with the wife, son, hound and granddaughter from the car park on the edge of Milford on Sea to the east. The pillar appeared to have a slight lean and it has a few small chunks missing from a bottom corner. The base is exposed by about six inches. It has FB S2711 and its spider has an asphalt plug. The trig has a good coastal view to the south. Hurst Beach and the downs of the Isle of Wight could be seen to the east. The Needles are to the south and the Isle of Purbeck and Purbeck Hills are in the distance to the south-west. Parts of Bournemouth can be seen in the west. Sway Tower can be seen inland to the north. The Highcliffe to Milford Cliffs have been designated a SSSI for their fossils and a few remnants of war time tank traps were encountered on our walk.
