Second visit, first in 1977 during Coast to Coast Walk. Today parked, along with several 4x4s and landrovers at end of track and walked via old quarry, where we saw a fox heading west at speed, and Thunder Stone, to pillar where another truck was parked. There were a few randomly parked on the fell. Several dogs running, on a trail I think rather than after the fox. A great area to study the art of drystone walling! Up to the monument and back down to car.

Circular walk from Orton taking in Orton Scar, Queen Victoria Jubilee Cross, limestone pavement to Castle Folds .... and then the TP. Then down to Gamelands stone circle and field paths back to Orton. A rather hazy day so views not defined and the limestone merged with the haze. A recommended walk for this TP.

Followed the OS Pathfinder Guide walk around Great Asby Scar. Parked up by Sunbiggin Tarn and followed the route up over the Scar, taking in the neolithic settlement of Castle Folds before diverting slightly for the pillar. Back down off the scar by Gamelands Stone Circle and through fields to the Tarn. Great walk, just under 7 miles, with superb views of the surruonding mountain ranges.

Walked here as I was preparing to leave Cumbria. Difficult to stand and look at the view for too long given that it looks directly out onto the farm we were evicted from, but an important goodbye walk all the same. I grew up in Orton, the village below.

Ample parking on B6262 at junction of Kott Lane ny639079 looking North to Great Asby. Within 400m start of walk a stone circle east of Knott Lane. The pillar shows last vestige of a white coat of paint. The views east from pillar toward stonewall and beyond over limestone pavements present wonderful karst scenery. The trig still has an intact spider plug, however erosion at the end of the 3 prongs. Wonderful 360 panoramic views of Pennines, Howgills and Eastern Lakes. For such a short walk an amazing view.

Another return to "no-man's land" which is an upland wildnerness area with some of the best limestone pavements in the UK. An 12 mile circular walk from Sunbiggin Tarn on a glorious day, the area lives up to my name for it, didn't meet a soul. The pillar today commanded some of the finest views to Howgills, Lakes and N Pennines. Only skylarks to be heard. I gift to that bit of red string attached to your compass. So many people have nagged me to attach it back on the compass. Well....still got the red string :-((

Up Knott Lane and then a farm track to the open fell.The pillar is just up from the only conifer on the fell. Brilliant views if a bit hazy today and amazing limestone pavements over the wall at Great Asby Scar. On the way down I chatted to a surveyor who told me all the historical stuff I'd missed seeing close by- Iron Age settlement etc. But today was meant to be a bit of exercise on my way to blood donation.

And well worth it - stunning 360 deg views of LD fells, Howgills, Pennines, two wind-sculpted trees and textbook limestone pavements.

I drove up Knott Lane (Byway open to all traffic) and parked on the side just before the wooden gateway at NY 6403 0843. I walked through the gateway and up the track heading north, past the reservoir compound. Where I could see the two farms to the west (Friar Biggins and Scar Side) lining up I struck out to the ENE up the hillside. Eventually near the summit I came to a curving grassy way and after a short way could see the pillar which I then made a beeline for. Very windy on the top and feels quite isolated and exposed. There is a single tree nearby which has been blown into a strange shape, Pillar has some damage to top with edges of spider showing but a nice cap with raised letters; FB faces WNW; all sightholes appear open but debris inside prevents view of upper centre mark.
