Lovely trig as stated previously nestled under a lovely oak tree. Easy to bag from lay-by parking at start of PROW. The Oak tree can be seen from the road. No crops in the field and ground pretty firm. Lovely find

Parked in Creswell just before Crag Cottages and walked back to the A616 and diagonally across Fox Green picking up PRoW to Bonbusk and onto The Old Hag . The trig was easily spotted across the field from the hedgerow I followed as as there was no crop currently I walked over to bag the trig pillar which stands below a lone tree. A very easy if somewhat muddy bag that was just 3 miles out and back.

Parked at the start of the public right of way and followed this across the first field. Then walked up hedgerow until a gap in the hedge. Oak tree could be seen beyond the hedge and walked over to It. No crops in the field. Trig sat in a lovely spot under the tree. It felt so peaceful that I almost didn’t want to leave.

Parked on the road to the south east of the pillar. Took the public right of way (PROW) from there up to SK 53262 72299. From there, veered north west off the PROW up to the pillar, which can found in a lovely spot under a large oak tree.

(2976) Parked at the start of the PRoW and then deviated from that upon reaching the trig field. Not sure what has been planted but tractor lines took me pretty much straight to the pillar. And there she is sitting pretty under the Oak tree. In good condition and sporting all its metalwork. Distinctive FB in that it is painted white. A disappointing run at the start of the day for pillars, so this was a good one (which turned out to be my 450th extant pillar) to end proceedings on. Pillar history: Built on the 1st of October 1937, build cost £4 10s 6d. Last maintained by the OS in May of 1983.

A beautiful spot, something of a favourite sheltering under a beautiful oak with elder as a companion. The old rail crossing... no automatic barrier round here takes us out of Derbyshire and a rare foray into Nottinghamshire, joins a Sherwood Forest trig as my second so far. One of its county tops on the horizon. A gold and blue sky, puffballs dotting the stubble.

Followed Trudge Tracey's shoes.The tree is a good guide to where the pillar is and is probably a big reason why the pillar hasn't been knocked over. Farmers don't tend to drive £50k of kit into trees. Disappointed that some moron had tipped their household waste in the field near the entrance

Visited during a 10k run from Norwood Farm back to home in Cuckney. The filed in which it sits was ploughed so running across to the trig was "fun". The pillar is now looking a bit sorry for itself - little paint left on it and surrounded by scrubby bushes. Will possibly have a go at sprucing it up.

Briefly considered continuing E across fields from Elmton TP to pick up the track through Whaley Hall Farm but decided against this as you never know what sort of security you might encounter (I've previously encountered 6ft high fences or fierce guard dogs at other farms). So it was back the way I'd come along the farm track and then SW along Spring Ln to the B6147 Mansfield Rd. Continued S along B6147 before turning left at crossroads for a long walk E along Marlpit Ln. I get a sneaky feeling that 'The Works' on the edge of Bolsovermoor Plantation may have featured in C4 Grand Designs. Continued along the tarmac passing through Whaley to join Mag Ln which crosses the railway before heading gently up hill. At the junction with Cockshute Ln I took the PROW N along field edge where a convenient gap in the hedge permits access into the required field. Followed tractor lines across seedling crop to the pillar. Full 360 views are unremarkable but what a lovely location beneath the tree. Well done to the farmer for leaving the tree and pillar standing !! Pillar is complete with metal cap and one open sight-hole. FB has been painted white as I suspect the pillar had been too but this is only visible on one face now. Returned to the PROW and continued N picking up the bridleway that heads NW past Bonbusk to join a track that heads SW past water works and across the railway for the final leg back into Elmton via the Archaeological Way.

Total nightmare at this time of year as the field was full of waist-high oil seed rape which at least was dry and there appeared to be no tractor tracks at all. I turned into the field from the footpath and approached the oak tree clockwise, big mistake! After reaching the pillar, I returned clockwise and the route was a little easier. Definitely one pillar which required a lot of effort on a very hot day and not reccommended at this time of year especially having now seen photos at other times!
