Just as she cleared her vaccinations and could come out of quarantine the rest of the country has had to go into it! So her first TP was our home Trig a 10 minute walk from the house, and, given the circumstances, not another soul to be seen. Anywhere. Eerie. ~~ 23/07/16 This is my 'home' Trig Point, very blessed to live in Alnmouth, so see this Trig Point virtually every day! This visit, in July 2016, was among the most memorable - The 'Night Fold Field' is part of Alnmouth Common and is on land owned and managed by the 'Burgess Holders' of Alnmouth. When she was 6 years old the daughter of one of the Burgess Holders, whilst having a family picnic up by the Trig Point, announced to her parents that she 'wanted to get married up here'. And so, twenty years later, she did! Congratulations to Teddi and Jack, and thanks to the Hall family for providing a wonderful party up on the Night Fold for all the village. Alnmouth's Trig Point now sports a brand new coat of white paint, and there is an improved hardcore gravel track up the Night Fold from the R.O.W. at the bottom of Foxton Road. Moreover Alnmouth's Trig Point will provide some very happy memories for a lot of people who'd probably never even heard of Trig Points before this weekend!

Followed the winding path up the hill opposite Scholefield Place in Alnmouth. There would have been great views of Alnmouth and the North Sea if it wasn't for the sea fog. Randomly there was a marquee just behind it. Followed the path down the other side of the hill to the beach car park. If you take this route, watch for the nettles on the way up.

A grim day and an opportunity to park FOC in Alnmouth. A short walk through village and approached pillar via main road at Mount Pleasant. Fortunately horses were grazing well away from pillar. This trig commands great views along the North Sea. Still retains a flush of white paint. Severe erosion beneath its plinth.

Pillar at Night Fold Fell Looking East to North Sea. Lots of erosion around base.

Sorry I missed Sealf4 by 2.5 hours. He could have filled me in about the Bronze Age history of the site that I hadn't realised when I was there. Easily accessible from the road north of Ainmouth and a superb site for looking down the coast in the last few moments of BST daylight.

Easy bag without trespass problem. Parked at top of hill on minor road out of Alnmouth in drive apron. Missed PRoW directly opposite and walked down hill to access PRoW. Short walk up hill to pillar on flat topped hill. Great views down the coast to Amble. White pillar. Easier than Russell Cairn, which was bagged on the last day of the Pennine Way 41 years ago.

Fairly easy approach from the beach car park. Pillar easily visible from the path, although field and pillar guarded by a trio of horses which made me nervous approaching but they weren't bothered. Pillar in good condition and gives fine views inland towards the Cheviots and out to the bay. Immediate surroundings of plinth eroded due to horses but otherwise fine.

Took the second (and less steep) PROW from the roundabout to the pillar beating the horses that tried to close in. Pillar undermined and leaning slightly to the north only noticeable when you look out to sea at the horizon. Decent views along the coast and nice beach, Popular with dog walkers so lots of dog mess.

Parked in Alnmouth, walked unclassified road north from roundabout, and followed mapped RoW east from NU246109 which crosses horse field. Trig is visible from high point on RoW, same field. Pillar in good condition. Spider retains OS centre cap with shallow engraved letters. Flush bracket faces NNE, ~24°. Vented through SW sight hole. 300° panorama from NE clockwise through south to NNW. Dominating the skyline is the giant golf ball shaped air surveillance radome on Brizlee Wood.

I was really looking forward to this one. You know soaking up the scenery, maybe a picnic, but no it was surrounded by 3 massive horses!!! However a mans got to do what a mans got to do. I chased the biggest one away then logged the trig with the two little ones in attendance. You just have to show these animals who's boss. Having said that I touched the trig, took some photo's and legged it asap.

South sight open with lightly indented cap and base exposed. Beautifully sunny morning so the horses in the field were hunkered down on the neighbouring hummock. Cracking beach view. Jubilee trig#5. :-)

HISTORY: Pillar completed 7th May 1946 costing £4.0s.6d. Computed as tertiary triangulation station NZ29/T21 in 1947. Levelled for height in 1948. Last maintained by the OS, 9th November 2000. SITE VISIT: Trig pillar in good condition, but has its own moat. The surrounding ground has been eroded away by livestock and is filled with water. Spider retained original OS centre plug. One of two numerically outlying BsM Flush Brackets, also numerically the highest known BsM flush bracket and it is on the north face of the pillar. No access problems.
