A lovely walk up from Hutton le Hole following the footpath from the south end of the village. Great views in all directions. The trig is in good condition and easy to access using field gates.

Circular walk from Hutton le Hole - Appleton le Moors - Lastingham - Hutton le Hole. Great farmland tracks, decent signposting, blue skies and some far reaching views. Also collected 20+ benchmarks. Vey enjoyable!

Another failure today. Refused to pay £3.50 for the car park so parked roadside. App couldn’t find it so we gave up and moved on, a bit of a theme today!

Slight diversion off of the Lastingham - Hutton-le-Hole loop. Easy to access with a hop over a slightly rickety fence into the field to its south and a clamber over a dry stane dyke into the field to its north.

We visited whilst enjoying a fine walk around Hutton-le-Hole and Lastingham, nipping off the ROW as it heads downhill to Austin Head and following the scrubby field boundary. The low wire fence is easily stepped over. Disconcertingly there has been a caravan placed in the trig field, but it was empty today. Pillar in good condition with original cap. It has a somewhat exposed footing and some weathering, but with superb views. We returned the same way - no crops or livestock to disturb. Revisit for me, pillar #45 for my little trigbagger.

Lovely circular walk from Lastingham to Hutton-le-hole on a beautiful sunny morning as part of Farnham Ramblers holiday. Great views along the southern horizon, north rather obscured by trees. Trig set into drystone wall, metal cap, deep letters, south s/hole open, foundations slightly exposed but otherwise vgc.

Glorious spot for a trig to sit. Lovely views to the south and south-west and a fine little spot as part of a dry stone wall. Pillar in really good condition despite the usual weathering and lichen, and some of the foundation is exposed. Walked up from Hutton-le-Hole via the footpath to Spaunton. Quickly diverted from the ROW and just followed the field edges - no crops to damage. Great trig for a summer's evening.

Trig in good condition as it is incorporated into a dry stone wall. Some foundation exposed. Parked up on road to North East then climbed tree lined track. This then turns left and continues to climb. Track switches back and passes North of the Trig. From them it was a scramble up the steep and wooded gradient, with no suitable path. Lovely views over the vale of Pickering.
