Heading out of the Lakes in the middle of a belter of a rain storm that has left roads flooded but just time to grab a few extra trigs before we get marooned up here. Parked in the gold club car park - nobody even thinking about playing today. Then headed up the track to the trig point. An easy bag - just what was needed.

Approached from south via mapped RoW. Visited to record FB number. The pillar was completed 15th September 1949 costing £7.14s.8d. In 1952 this marker was computed for triangulation as secondary station NY11/24 in the Workington secondary block. Flush bracket S5760 was levelled for height in 1965. This trig point was last maintained by the OS in December 1976. OS archive incorrectly has S5670 which is Calf top. Spider retained original OS centre plug with deep indented lettering. No photos taken.
