Bizarre nav error brought me here and shows the dangers of relying on technology. Having visited Waddesdon Manor I had one aim left for the day....to bag the Berkshire top trig. So I asked Kim to enter Coombe Hill into Google Maps, not realising that there are 2 x Coombe Hills SW of Aylesbury, both with trigs!!! Of course we arrived at the wrong one and, none the wiser, I set off N from the CP, keen to get there and back as quickly as poss. Sure enough, the monument site offered stupendous views and the trig foundations are all that is left, but Boy, was I confused, until I got back to my map and discovered the error! Well worth the trip up here though.

Big monument, no trig!

Bagged whilst on a road trip from Wiltshire to Norfolk. Located on Coombe Hill this trig looks as though it has undergone a metamophosis into something quite grand! Handy car park 600m south, this is a popular spot for dog walkers etc, on reaching the trig (and very large monument to the Bucks men that lost their lives in the Boer War) it's not suprising why - the views are quite stunning for this part of the country. Trig is in very good condition and has a direction finder built into the top of it.

Pillar also needs some work as large crack from top to bottom as well along top edge hence listing as slightly damaged. Plaque, FB and very nice trig top but no cap.

Visited while finding the two Geocaches which use the information on the pillar and the longest surviving in England. Brilliant views - ate my lunch on the base of the monument. What a day to leave my camera behind!

Passing by whilst on a marathon geocaching day. Much more pleasant today than when I was last here in January 2005!

I was up here doing a couple of geocaches. The view were exceptionally good as there was no haze or mist. The horizon was clearly visible all round. This is the second trig point Ive visited that had a viewpoint plate built into it (the first being TP2614 Crooksbury Hill). The centre plug is missing and the hole filled up with debris but apart from that the condition is good.

This trigpoint is interesting in that it is set on a pillar which has directional distance markers on the top. It is next to a large Boer War memorial and has fantastic views on a clear day, although when we visited it was misty and trying to snow! The concrete pillar is cracked in places, hence the slightly damaged rating. The trigpoint is very close to the geocache GC171, which is the 2nd oldest in the country apparently!

Early morning picture for this one. I was walking the Ridgeway LDP and failed to find a B&B so had to sleep rough (ie no bag or tent)! When the sun came come so did I. Trigpoint recommended for an early morning brew!

This trig point is part of a larger viewpoint, makingit a fairly unusual pillar. There is a prominent war memorial close by; all in all this pillar ias well worth a visit.

Non standard pillar - probably a standard one within the concrete casing. Close to war memorial on Coombe Hill. Air display in progress during the visit.

Better known as Coombe Hill. Orienteered here and come past on Ridgeway path.

Difficult to log this, as I now live very close to it, and have visited dozens of times, over the decades. But this log reflects my first visit aged 9, in the summer of 1976. Such a shame it's all vandalised and gone.
