Autumn colours abound and always "feels good" to see the sea! Worked often in this area, but missed out the last couple of years so nice to have a reason to come back, and bag 2 x TPs, and collect 15+ BMs. Chose a great autumnal day - blue skies, a plethora of colour and best of all, no one else! Fantastic day, yet again.

An excellent trig to visit. I parked as others have done in the small hardstanding at the gated entrance to the forest track, and then walked for 10 minutes along a very muddy path. The track turns left and then suddenly opens up where the trig sits atop a barrow, with the trees cleared beyond it. Stunning views out to sea! The pillar is in fine condition, albeit with a replacement asphalt cap and slightly exposed foundations. I returned the same way.

Parked to the south,theres enough room for a couple of cars by the silver barrier,a quick 5minute walk through the forest using the excellent track,the pillar is located on the bend with a faint path leading off to the right on a small mound.not easily visible from the track due to overgrowth but a nice little clearing once at the pillar,can imagine the views were spectacular 50years ago,but a nice location.
