Parked to the east of Pinker's Pond. Then up faint path to join vehicle track higher up the hill. I followed this until south of the trig before heading directly there.

I'm not the biggest fan of walking in thunderstorms. The thought of a walk in the Yorkshire Wolds years back still sets me into a sweat. So this gets an 8 as a just about did it. After the castle the exotic locale and banks of dandelions entice me. Although we do set off from west and not east as planned the better to eye the lightning which stays hunkered on the plain to the south east. Gorgeous place, walk back through the oft road signed The Hidden Corner, a pretty spot, the views south towards Grassington are stunning... with a fair few black grouse seen on the return journey to home. Touching little plaque too... special place.

Walking the Wensleydale Wander, a 23 mile walk from Leyburn organised superbly by the Leyburn Rotary Club. Blessed with good weather, good views, good organisation and good company (a mature lass who rides a Harley and attends motor bike rallies all over the country). A quick sprint off the route and no horses on the gallops was worth the diversion and a better option than Penhill. My rescue Lakeland is given this pillar, she managed the distance with no problems after a day on the Buttermere fells, furthest she's walked.

Easy to find trig on Middleham Low Moor, close to the Racehorse Gallops, which we visited during 8.5 mile walk from Middleham. It was murky when we visited but still had good views over Wensleydale & Coverdale, the rain however started to fall an hour later into our walk.

Day 1 of 4: Yorkshire Man Walk. Up from Middleham to the gallops. Pillar easy to find at the W end of the gallops. Slight damage, but will log as good as damage is nowhere extensive. Lovely views over Wensleydale. Our walk continued to Aysgarth, Hawes, Keld over Great Shunner Fell. By the time we got to Ravenstonedale all hell broke loose with the wind and rain and tents were falling everywhere. Home then, but even a 4 day hike in this troubled year is a win.

Parked up on the good vehicle track south of the gallops and exercising fields, and crossed the grass and followed the gallops fence straight to the trig. Pillar in good condition, but slightly damaged at the ends of two spider 'vanes' and a couple of small dents in the main 'body'. A lovely spot, but a damp foggy day today, so nothing to see. Returned via the track; realised that as there was no one about, I could have easily ignored the 'this is not a road' signs and just driven to within 100m of the pillar.

Spider has OS metal cap - One top corner &two top edges chipped - Top face has cracking at two corners, one of which has the cracking extended to tops of two side faces. On one side edge there is flaking at about 1/3 height - another side edge has a badly repaired chip - also one or two other chips about. Pretty good views, Penhill,etc.

HISTORY: Pillar completed 19th August 1953 costing £15.1s.6d. Computed as tertiary triangulation station SE38/T60 in 1955. Levelled for height also in 1955. Last maintained by the OS in February 1975. SITE VISIT: Approached from east. Parked up public bridleway just beyond tourist information notice board at SE119873. Followed bridleway and footpath until near trig and across short grass to summit. Immaculate surroundings. On access land which is a well maintained meadow. Pillar in good condition but for minor chipping to top edges. Spider retains original OS centre cap with deep indented letters. Flush bracket faces WNW, ~282°. All four sighting holes open, pillar bolt visible. Full 360° panoramic view.

wanted to make my 6th trig top plaster cast. Getting into the aesthetics and subtleties of different trig tops. Initially intimidated by 'private no unauhtorised' sign at the newish track to the west so walked with all my kit for 300m but decided to return and drive along. Felt sure would be okay an just explain to anyone what I was doing. Parked 150m from trig to go set up with all my kit and get it done. Success.
