An easy pull in to this FBM and at 6.30 am there was few folk about. Standing very proud on a grass verge, watching the world go by without a care in the world. What a nice way to start the day. Visiting 3 pillars later and each one is gifted to The Barkley Marathons which finished yesterday. What an amazing finish for "The Famous Five". which started loop 5 "The Magnificent Seven".

On a grassy verge on the side of the road. Simple pull in and snap after visiting the Bench Mark on the farm Barn in Kittle Lane.

Last trig of the day. One of the easiest FBMs to find. People sitting in pub garden across wondered what we were doing. Earlier that day we bagged Rhossili Down, Llanmadoc Hill, Ryer's Down and Cefn Bryn trigs. A nice introduction to the Gower.

I parked up right next to the FBM after spotting it on the satnav. Okay, it was someone's driveway, but I didn't hang around too long to be told off.

Parked at the restaurant and popped across the road in the dark. Easy. Whilst we are out shattered and cold, normal people were in the restaurant eating and drinking..... One horizontal and one vertical edge badly chipped.

We were driving along when I spotted the trig point on memory map. I was pleasantly surprised when we pulled in and I realised it was an FBM rather than a large trig pillar!

Roadside FBM in grassed area at rod junction so access is very easy. Grass cutting had just taken place so there was no problem in locating. An urban location so not an inspiring one.
