Parked on road just before farm then went through metal gate and up through fields, Had to navigate a couple of electric fences but all were turned off. Trig does retain all its metal work but does have a bad crack round the FB

A 6 mile loop to reach the trig but so well worth it. As with others, we first attempted a footpath but retreated and walked along the track before reaching the open field boundary. Crops in the field and thick claylike mud made it very slippy heading up the field which is steeper than it looks, we then pulled ourselves up the grass/tree lined bank onto the next crop filled muddy field and walked over to reach the trig. Base is broken but it's a stunning location, good views and definitely one of my favourite ones.

Through a gate directly west where the pillar can easily be seen standing tall on its plinth. A straightforward visit, up along a slippery muddy track, then left through a lush long- grassed field. All within sight and earshot of the M6 where I soon returned to continue my journey to Scotland. Pillar has its original cap, and one sight-hole open.

Parked on Green Lane. Walked up the road onto Pirehill Lane, which is a public right of way (PRoW). From the PRoW, turned right onto a path at grid reference SJ 89578 30421 which takes you all thew way into the field in which the pillar is located. No fences to negotiate using this route. Pillar sits on a breezeblock plinth, but is cracked around the flush bracket (FB), with cracks on all 4 sides at the level of the FB. Very good views, and the pillar can even be seen from the M6 motorway

Beautiful views just a shame the trig is damaged. Accessed by following the road past the converted houses and then following the track all the way to the trig field.

took track beyond barn conversions which swings around to the base of the steeper side. from large tree/silage store an easy yomp around field boundaries to trig on tall plinth. a fair crack pretty much all the way around pillar but solid enough. some damage to plinth. decent views..noisy.

parked on the hard standing after the houses just as the tarmac runs out ... after the trudge thro the mud at the previous trig, decided to take a different route (checked out on google maps beforehand) than recent previous triggers - continued north on the track for a couple of hundred yards, then turned right and followed the track which doubles back round behind the houses and heads on up the hill, passed round the little bog on the rhs, followed fence up the hill and climbed the bank to the field with the pillar - base is eroding away and there's a reasonable sized crack around all four sides of the pillar - great views ... and as a footnote this pillar completes my visits to all pillars on os map 127 stafford & telford - 42 in all :) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CmAkTybWfa8

Entered field SE of trig after doing nearby cache. There was a gap in the hedge here, and not so overlooked from the farms downhill to the west until I reached the top. Didn't stick around - quickly reached the trig, then retreated to a distance for a photo. Great views from the trig, and of the trig from all around.

Parked on RHS at end of tarmac road and walked back to Hundred Acre Farm. Climbed over opposite gate and ascended field. At the summit there are two lots of barbed wire to climb over. Field was very muddy but the views were worth the visit. Trig is very prominent from road.
