Parked at 163517 on Gagg Lane then followed PROW to lane on left which led to old limekiln and continued to a tumulus.Trig is on left across a large field whose wall had partially collapsed allowing access to the pillar. Great views over Dovedale.

Parked along Gag Lane and followed the footpath East towards a farm, then South through a number of fields. Had to detour from the path over a couple of gates towards the trig. The last obstacle is a dry stone wall with a barbed wire fence on the other side. There are no obvious gates along this boundary, but there are a couple of sections where the wall has collapsed leaving clear access to the fence. I used an old towel to protect against spikes as I squeezed between the barbed wire strips, and the wire fence (I attempted to step over, but I'm not quite tall enough and the wire fence was too flimsy). Not my favourite adventure by far. For the return journey we headed back to the footpath and followed it SE for a short while, using the nearby footpath to return to Gag Lane and back to the car. The views in the distance were decent, but I think I've been spoiled by a number of recent trigs. Only one set of cows on our visit - in a small field directly next to the farm. They were relaxed and let us pass without issue.

What I thought to be my last of the Peak District 88...Parked by an open-gated entrance against a wall corner at GR 159 526...Climbing the wall stile to the right & taking a wide berth of a herd of cows, proceeded uphill thro' a metal gate & passing thro' & across an open-gated field, located the trig across a wall & fence. Had spoken to Mr Farmer in his tractor early on en-route who advising me there were no footpaths, nevertheless granted me permission to pursue the trig so long as I was careful about his walls. Fair enough & I was only having to overcome the wall & fence by the trig & that was an un-complicated straddle. Back home post a 6 trig forage, spending much time going thro' a print out of The Peak District 88, I dis-heartedly discovered I was 5 amiss. Oh well they'll keep for another day & more importantly perhaps this particular trig was my 600th!

At this point, I had to climb over a stone wall backed by a tall barbed wire fence into the trig field. Spectacular views all round from the pillar

The easiest way is to come in from the south west on a PRoW, past an old limekiln and across a couple of fields. If you came in from the west at the weekend you will be grateful for the peace and solitude up on this ridge. Fantastic views over Dove Dale. All pillars today are for the gift of water that we are lucky to have. Stories of snipers targeting children who travel on foot to collect water in Yemin was featured on the radio earlier.

Returned via the PROW heading East back onto Gag Lane - much easier route. Good views over Dove Dale especially N & S. All metal work intact.

Weather was fine but cold and snow now. Logged with the android app. Parked in Trorpe and walked into Dove Dale – wasn’t planning to climb Thorpe Cloud but it looked inviting and had to be done – great to be free of the weekend crowds – I had Dove Dale to myself. Climbed out of the Dale at Loves Leap and walked on the paths above Reynards Cave and just below the trigpoint – thought about cutting across but continued with my planned walk down into Dove Holes and up past The Nabs to Bostern Grange Farm. Made and excursion off the path to the pillar through and open gate and a copse climbing one fence. Returned down Gag Lane.

A joint visit with Carole. We parked at the start of the footpath to the east on Gag Lane. Initially using the footpath/track but left it to go through gateways and belt of woodland to enter the large field in which we thought the pillar was. Unfortunately it is on the western side of the wall so needed a wall and barbed wire crossing to reach it. Everything in good condition and still retains an original plug. Nice all round views from this vantage point.

A stiff climb out of Dovedale. There is a quiet path that skirts the top of the crags. Quite an adventure as it is not possible to drop back into Dovedale willynilly, well you can, but you will only do it once. Some "deviation from legality" is required for this, real Clem bagging here, and the constant presence of a quadbike was unnerving. Could not be seen against the sky so I know that the plug was there from feeling alone. Every thing in good shape, and I was rewarded by an easy and safe descent back into Dovedale and a fine walk through gathering winter gloom to Alstonefield. Dovedale at dusk is magical. A good 16 mile day.
