High mark for the 300 year old Nine Standards, not so much for the mutilated trigpoint. I was last here on 9/9/1985, walking the C2C up from Swaledale. Back then we passed Ravenseat, a Yorkshire farm, before it became The Yorkshire Farm. Today's ascent was from the Nateby to Keld road on a clear but very wet track. Visibility was variable with drizzly showers, but we got a view off the top and I particularly enjoyed looking down Dukerdale

With Roger Templeman on a very wet and windy day. We walked up from the minor road to SW, uncovering Millstone Rigg concrete ring on the way. Stone-built pillar in poor condition with several loose stones, a significant amount of top screed missing and no flush bracket. The central plumb-line hole has a composite cap replacing its mising metal cap. There is what superficially looks like a cut benchmark on a flat stone approx 1m N of the pillar. This is quite possibly the old trig. ***Revisited 5 Mar 2019 whilst passing through.

The second saddest looking trigpoint I've seen. Falling apart, broken in places and stones missing and with no flush bracket (whoever has taken it has committed a huge sin!), though uncommon in being constructed of stone not concrete. Path up from Lamps Moss (B6270) not the easiest to follow in last kilometre and likely to be very boggy in wet weather.

Nine Standards Rigg trigpoint Cracks and breaks abound and someone has even taken a stone out and left it on the top.

C2C#11: excellent weather for our first day of resumed C2Cing. Great views from the adjacent toposcope (including Scafell). And nowhere near as boggy as we expected, only one up-to-the-knees incident! Trig is looking a little fragile with quite a number of displaced stones. Resin cap, no FB (number for logging purposes only) and no visible s/holes, very odd. But a great place.

Sunny but breezy day. Up from the B6270 from the layby at county boundary. Up through swamps to White Mossy Hill before following the path to the trig on Nine Standards Rigg. Continued onto the Nine Standards before retracing back to the trig & then following the much drier coast to coast path back to the road. In hindsight maybe should've gone up that way too.

Did'nt even know there is a Trig Point on 'Nine'. So was a bonus to see it in such a well known location. The flush bracket seems to be ripped out, and the pillar it's self is not in the best condition. But being the style it is, I suppose it's doing ok for it's age. Hence slightly damaged. Went on to do High Seat and Gregory Chappel, before walking down into Garsdale!

The pillar is a bit worse for wear; no FB, plug replaced by resin cover, top damaged with two spider-ends exposed and some loose stonework. Revisited whilst looking for the OS Buried Block "Millstone Rigg" at (382448.063,506409.781). The grid ref put this very close to the toposcope. Nothing found although theres a shallow circular depression just to N. The OS records give a last maintenance date of 1983 whereas the topo was constructed 1981 so that doesn't explain its absence. Curious that the block is little more that 300 metres from the pillar, with a clear line of sight to it, and was constructed at much the same time.

Nice easy walk up from the B6270. Low cloud meant no great views. Trig made of stone and looking in need of attention. Flush bracket missing.

Car South out of Hartley, past quarry to end of road, park car by junction of footpath and bridleway. Took bridleway to footpath signed to Nine Standards Rig - fantastic day, beautiful moorland scenery with interesting gully to the left for a lot of the ascent. Unbelievable - I tracked a route on GPS all the way from car park, then deleted track on way back!

Plug replaced by cover; FB missing (logged as 10803 on previous visits 11 Sep 1988 and 23 Jun 1990). One end of spider exposed. Stone built pillar - becoming loose and bulging in places. The Standards were rebuilt a while ago and look impressive - no surprise that Andy Goldsworthy regards them as an influence on his sculpture.

It was wonderfully misty, the wind was biting, and I had only a compass to guide me. But still, my quest was successful! I can corroborate that this little beauty still stands proud.
