Seventh of an eight trig 'assault'... Shrawardine Reservoir, Grinshill Cliff, Webscott, Petton Park, Cockshutt, Ellesmere Point & Alkington Grange. Expected some difficulty here with reference to Wheresthatpenguin's high fence, but from my approach couldn't have been simpler. Parking on-road pulled-in tight to the side of a gate at GR 50222 32295 'puts' you in-line with the trig. 'Jumping' the gate 'puts' you in-field aback of the trig & whilst it would be possible to slither snake-like thro'the gap there, be warned there is some barbed-wire to contend with. Another possibility is a gap just left of the gate as you 'jump' it but barbed-wire & hawthorn make the climb over wooden fencing there hazardous...Indeed a hawthorn tendril if Hawthorns have tendrils 'dragged me back' by the ear & boy did it hurt not to mention bleed. Best way in is thro' gaps in the hedge roadside three or four strides from the gate, the trig flush bracket-side being just a fifteen or so second stroll away in the hedge to the right. Most enjoyed the challenge of this particular trig but have to say it 'felt' exceptionally trespassy. Please see under Shrawardine Reservoir for full details of the other trigs.

Approximately 50 metres from gateway on roadside. We viewed the trigpoint from the wrong side of the hedge. Seemed like private land so we didn’t push our luck

Parked on the road outside Poolhead Farm. Climbed over two gates into the field adjacent the field where the pillar is located. There is then a very tricky wooden fence that needs to be negotiated to get into the field with the pillar. 8 of 15 on my 15 trig Nantwich/ Whitchurch day

All intact. Owners in the field having a bonfire so we went in and asked. Very welcoming and had cleared around it already.

Located it from the field to the west but just too far into the hedge on this wrong side. Gave up an attempt to climb through a gap when I saw a few young girls running across the field to the east. Still had to cycle over to Gobowen for the train home so couldn't hang around here any longer. If in the area close by again some time I'll look to give this one a revisit, but doubtful I'd feel so inclined to go any significant distance out of my way just for it.

Parked in gateway. Short walk through two gates. Trig in hedge on left, but easier to walk past and through the gate on the left and walk back.

Went up the wrong side of the hedge for this so had to crawl through to get a peek at the number. Good condition. While face down in the nettles and thorns trying to photograph the number someone walked by.. Thats why I missed, and I was not going under again.
