Difficult to get to, we climbed the fence by a gat ea bit further along than the Trig, then noticed the squished bit of fence by the bench, at the top of the path from the industrial estate, on our way back out as described in someone else's visit, lol. slightly tricky underfoot working your way through the undergrowth on the railway embankment too.

Approached from Spicers Way and straight onto the Wally Hammond Way cycle path. From this direction the Trig is just after a bench and opposite the path to the industrial estate. The pillar can be seen from the path, about two metres out of reach behind a chain link fence. Getting over the fence is a bit of a chore, but there is a saggy section that allows you to kind of belly flop over (much to the horror of passing dog walkers). Pillar is at the top of a wooded railway embankment and starting to lean ever so slightly down the slope. Don't think it's in any immediate danger of toppling though.

I decided not to climb the fench whilst suffering from an arthritic hip. Used magnification to read the flush bracket. Easy bag if you don't want to touch it :-)

Parked bike at east end of business park near what looked like a Highways Agency depot, ‘Pickering's’. There’s a path through onto the cycle path running parallel to the railway line, north west to south east. Next to a bench, looks as if others have clambered over the fence as it is a bit saggy. Headed north west to try and see the pillar on the other side of the fence. Decided to climb over using a fire hydrant plate as a step up. About ten metres further north west the pillar was visible. Next to a fallen tree and ivy growing up it. Wasn’t obvious and was beginning to wonder if had toppled down the embankment. Cleared off most of the ivy. Logged as slightly damaged due to the lean, although doesn’t look likely to slide further down any time soon. No views. Nobody about.

Missed the trig cycling passed, but picked it out when walking, it really is had to see behind the tree. Marked as damaged as it is leaning and appears to be slipping down the railway embankment.

On railway embankment 1-2m behind chain-link wire fence. Locked gate in fence line 40m NW was fairly easily climbable to gave access. Pillar is leaning backwards (hence classified 'Damaged'), and will perhaps end up at bottom of the embankment in time. At present cap is missing, no plug; front sight hole open. No views.

A bit of fence-climbing to get to this one. Why is it that the previously empty footpath suddenly became busy as I leapt over the other side of the fence? Felt very conspicuous - bit like being in a zoo! (I imagine).

Spent some time faffing about in Rushington Business Centre after entering from the main A35. Eventually took next turning off eastbound into Spicers Way. Then an easy walk into Wally Hammond Way and easy discovery of trig. Fence fairly easy to scale - trig has centre plate missing, otherwise in good condition.

vgc, no cap or plug. SW side of rly, 1m NE of 5ft chainlink fence, 38m NW of seat. Took me a lot longer to find start of path, than to find trig. Access to path is either from SE or NW; road to NW has one-way system. (OK it's not that difficult, I guess).

Quite easy to spot (it is now as I've removed some of the ivy) about 5 feet the other side of the fence at the top of the hill 50 yds up from the seat on Wally Hammond Way. You can clearly see the FB from the path but if you're a purist and want to actually touch the damned thing you can climb over the fence about 50 yards past the trig where a branch is lying across the fence. Plug missing otherwise in good condition.

Ditto the comments of others - but I couldn't see it, and certainly couldn't find any way of getting over the 6' fence. It would have been helpful if I'd looked at Kevjtrig's photo before I went, as I was looking for something made of concrete... OS list the FB number as S4449.

A chameleon trig, wrapping itself in ivy. Just off a surfaced bridleway, but inside the tall railway fence so unreachable. Can't imagine that there was ever much of a view to other trigs from this low location.

View south along the bridleway. The best view available!
