Hoping it's finally finished flitting around, parked at the start of the PROW and followed short distance , pillar sits in a small clearing on the left hand side not far from it's original location. Trig in good condition to say its been moved several times. Suprisingly Only faults are small lump out from corner and centre cap missing

My fourth log of this pillar or its former location since 2004 and I'm very pleased to see it proudly standing as near as practical to its original position. A chunk is missing from what is now its south angle but otherwise good.

Unexpectedly came across this on a walk I frequently do. Checked out previous logs and it’s been on the move for a few years. It’s plonked in a lovely position, still sitting in what I assume is its original concrete. It will see lots of visitors in that spot, if that’s where it’s staying. It’s great to find a trig point in the Wolds that’s not hidden in a hedge. This has fabulous views to the coast and Spurn Point. On the bridleway to Wold Newton.

The relocating pillar in the same position as previous logged visit. Followed directions on prev post parked at Village Hall, took the public footpath directly opposite, uphill to a little church , right to the farm. So obviously stood there almost missed it haha. Leaving did realise you can park right next to it/the farm on the road around the bend but nice sunny day and interesting to walk past the eerie church anyhoo. Glad we detoured on way back from the coast today, if heading back to M180 from here it's a beaut drive and pull in just before the power stations to watch the planes and helicopters take off entertained the kids all day.

A very wet and windy weekend. Second of two trigs on way back to Sheffield. As per a previous log, I parked in the village hall car park, walked up to the church and turned right (N) on the FP to the farm. You can't miss the trig as it stands near the gate to the farm, adjacent to the new huge sheds which were probably the reasons for its new spot. I get the feeling it's not the end of its travels...

My first photo uploaded! I think this trig has not finished its peregrinations. ©robinhood

Trig with foundations is now alongside the footpath at entrance to the wood. Plug missing and the odd scrape mark but overall in good condition. Visible from the footpath sign at the roadside. Well done to the farmer for preserving the trig and congrats to eon for finding it.

Having tried and failed a couple of times to find where this pillar had been moved, eon's (Ian Snell) recent discovery made this a priority for me. I regularly walk with a group in the Wolds so including Wold Newton on the route was an obvious choice. Further clearance and tree felling has taken place but the pillar resides a little distance off the area currently being worked on. The pillar hides behind an old pile of wood south-west of the south-west corner of the open-sided barn. The GR from my Garmin track is approximately TF24159698. Ian's GR seems too close to the south side of the barn. I did not attempt to photograph the FB but it was easily felt underneath the pillar.

(70) Most likely missing since the latter half of the 1980s, but I thought it was still worth having a look in case it had been dumped somewhere nearby, but nothing was found. Local to me, so I may well give this one another go. REVISIT: 6.1.19 After some detective work and knocking on doors S2585 is now found. As the crow flies its been moved roughly a mile from it's original location to a back corner of a farm yard. Toppled and minus it's centre cap, but otherwise seems to be in good nick. FB facing downwards but just enough clearance to slide my phone under and photograph/record the number. Super happy to bag a 'first find'. REVISIT: 1.6.19 Been popping back to check up on this one at semi regular intervals. Last visit was about 2 weeks ago - no change then. Yesterday the site was visited by trigger Sal La Bruja, who reported that the pillar is now in a upright position. Checking for myself, the immediate area around the barn has now been cleared. The pillar now stands just off the PRoW. As it's upright, the top and FB are finally fully visible. Also visible is some (possibly recent?) damage to the RHS top corner, along with a scrape mark running down the pillar to just above the FB. REVISIT: 26.8.19 And the pillar has been moved once again - now on the PRoW. Managed to have a chat with two farm workers, who stated this was in preparation for a move which will see it placed not far from its original location - but no sign of movement when visited October 2021. REVISIT: 10.7.22 Stopped by today only to find that the pillar was nowhere to be seen. Made enquiries, and whilst the woman I spoke to knew it had been moved - 'I saw it being taken away the other day' - she couldn't say where it now resided. After searching a few likely spots, the pillar was eventually refound. Now situated at the end of a hedge only 200 m from its original field location. And after at least 5 moves, hopefully its days of wandering are over. Pull-in for parking at the start of the PRoW which takes you straight to the pillar. So still easily accessible. All appears as it was in regards to condition - so no damage incurred whilst being moved again. REVISIT: 14.1.24 Surprisingly busy this morning in Wold Newton. Good clear views of the Humber and various Grimsby landmarks from the pillar, which remains unchanged in terms of condition and status. REVISIT: 9.3.24 Popped along to check out the nice new centre cap placed there by trigger 'Wheresthatpenguin' the week before. Pillar history: Built on the 30th of May 1939, at a cost of £4 13s 4d. Last maintained by the OS in January of 1981.

(207) Middle of a ploughed field, but it hasn't reappeared. Checked hedgerows and woodland but to no avail. From O/S database Built 1939 no record of it being destroyed (to 1994??). Next time i'm here i'll try to find out exactly what it's fate was.

I approached from the north along the footpath. There are parking places near where it meets the road. I too coulldn't see any trace of this one in the field nor hedges. I continued south and then west to visit the North East Lincs county top just around the bend - a bit like me doing this hobby on such a hot day!

I took the opportunity of minimal growth in the field to check for any remains at the GR, but nothing seen. The hedges around the entire perimeter and a couple of nearby old chalk pits were also checked, to no avail.

I didn't get as close as Morseman, but the crop was only standing about 9 inches high, with only gentle contours, so the trig should have been visible.

Where it should be The trig should be in front of the wood.

Got to within 250 feet of where it should have been, which is the middle of an open field. So it looks as if the pillar has gone.
