Pulled in by a mast just south of the field, couldn’t quite see pillar from there and as someone was already parked there moved on to north about fifty metres. Then spotted pillar to east in the field. Pulled bike over on roadside, up low embankment and under barbed wire fence. About 100 metres into grass field. Overlooked by property to north about 200 metres away. Limited views. Spider and cap in place. Incidentally, spelled with two words on OS map. Constant drum of traffic from M1 about 750 metres to west although not visible.

Passing area so decided to visit. Parked by phone mast compound and entered via gate into compund and fence to reach field. Set off voice security system in compound so didn't hang around bagging trig.

Quick hop over a fence through open telco mast area. Chap training his dog in next door field took absolutely no notice! Average views and significant noise from M1. But surrounding autumn colours still impressive for late Nov. Metal cap shallow letters, S and E s/holes open, otherwise vgc.

Can hear the drone of the motorway but otherwise a pleasant enough grassy field, with a telecom mast in the corner.

Access no different than most other pillars, a few metres in the middle of paddock, hop over a choice of gates for a good hug!

Another one on private land with nobody about to ask for permission to get near. Not that it stopped me getting some nice pics

The trig is looking in good nick, but is in a field with no public access.

In the middle of a field by the communications tower. The fence was broken down by the tower so access was easy.

Unfortunately we were unaware that we couldn't get closer to the trigpoint, otherwise we would have visited earlier in the day and got some better photos. The field is now surrounded by barbed/razor wire and signs saying 'Keep Out' and 'Danger of Death' etc. However we will be back in the light with the telephoto lens and monopod :D

Trigpoint is back there somewhere ©Bekandian
Honest, it is there Even with the photo overexposed you still can't make it out!©Bekandian

Apart from fly tipping at the parking area not a bad location considering it is so close to the M1 and M25.
