Lovely walk to the trig. Good views with the heather just starting to turn purple. A bit difficult to access through the heather and gorse but worth it.

Day Two - 4/9. Parked at heath entrance to south at Wiverley Post. Crossed A35, over stile and along footpath to turn at Spy Holms. There is then a track through the heather and gorse to trig that sits just inside fence alongside main road. Trig is in good condition with spider and FB intact.

Driving along the A35 we were able to pull into the old road as suggested by Trigger Monster. However, could not find a way through the thick gorse. Was able to view the trig over though. Looks like there would be great views if I could have got to it.

Third time lucky. First time was a drive by, expecting to see pillar from road, second time late in the day and stopped too far south and walked through the heather but gave up, must have been very close. This time, heading south west by road on A35, after a gentle dip, on left is a gap to pull in, where the old road used to be. Pillar is almost due west of here. Not visible from the road, unless if perhaps you’re in a lorry or coach and able to see over the roadside gorse and brambles. Clambered through gorse and over a wobbly wire fence. No obvious path to pillar. Reasonable views to the west. Only about 25 metres from the road. Rewarding after all previous efforts.

There are two laybys opposite each other to the south of this pillar; parking in the west side one means trig is easily accessed via a stile and a wide track which leads to within about 50m of it. The last stretch involves hopping over gorsey clumps all the way, though. Expansive view of the plain away from the road. Road noise is quite distractingly overpowering, sadly.

Further from roadside than map indicates (approx 15m) and high, thick gorse hedge to be penetrated after which a stock fence is to be negotiated. Otherwise easy roadside access! Pillar found in open heathland but with intrusive road noise from a busy A35 with its fast moving traffic. Cap missing, asphalt plug; rear sight hole only open. Good heathland views in arc SW thru N.

Third T/P of my day out with Motley Crew. Hopped over the fence... Well, probably fell over actually. The pillar is in good condition apart from the missing plug so I'll mark it as 'slightly damaged'. The heathland it's situated in is pretty enough (for heathland) but not what you'd call exciting.
