2/3 and very easy to find in the second field in the hedge, it did help that the branches were bare and you could see the pillars silhouette. The China man driving the 117 deserves today's quarry. Thank goodness the Chinese respect the older generations. 118 bus didn't turn up and him mentioning "elderly person" persuaded authorities that he could "taxi" me home. Thank you.

Easily bagged hedge-dweller sitting next to a telegraph pole at the top of a small but steep field. Driving to it via the single track road from the west is not recommended.

Drove to farm gate at foot of field and walked up steep climb and then left in field, very muddy. Trig is in center of hedge. Half one side half the other but used selfie stick to pick up the numbers. Bull in the other field and I had red top on! Didn't fancy a carry on camping moment so took my photos and retreated back to the car! Trig has some growth around it but still is easily accessible fence wires close and nailed. Plug, spider and plate still in place.

Parked in the car park at Penclawdd, walked up a lane then cut up through fields following the footpath. Trig tucked away in the hedgerow. Good views across to Bury Port. Carried on and down to the stile and back on the roads. Lovely lunch in the Cariad Cafe. Last trig on Gower now bagged.

Short walk up from field gate to S. Pillar ensconced in gorse on a raised field bank. Access easiest from S, but FB faces N - photography awkward. Retains original cap, indented lettering. Rear sight hole open, front and LHD sealed, RHD not determined. 360deg views with head above the gorse.

Gower AONB trig bagging day pillar 14/14. Drove past the no motor vehicles (except for access) sign as I was 'accessing' the trig. Parked by the stile. A quick nip up the field and along the hedge. Just managed to get a FB photo. And with that, all Gower AONB trigs were visited today.

The pillar is highly visible and easy to access being in a field with a public footpath passing through it. I observed the 'No Access' sign (should have read some of the earlier logs - but parking was straightforward) and walked west along the lane to take the footpath to the north. Crossed a second stile up in the field corner to gain access to the pillar which is situated on the north side of the fence. Everything in good order and still retains an original plug. Lovely views from this location.

No evidence of the path beyond a squeeze type gate. Horses still there and very interested in me en route until I said hello and they lost interest. Parking off road opposite but a very interesting climb up from the main road in the car

Ditto mickandshanes comments. These horses must be a little bemused why this concrete pillar was receiving so much attention. Hard to believe I missed the others by only a matter of hours.
