Travelling west along Wilverley Road north of Sway, before you get to the turning to Longslade View car park, the trig is over to the right in some low gorse. Easy to pull into the entrance up to the car park. Views across the Forest and heathland.

After about six hundred metres pillar visible on right, north, side of the road, near to a track on the same side of the road, leading to a car park. Pillar amongst the gorse. On north east face is marked OXO 1959. Also some marking on the south west face, same side as the FB but unclear.

Pillar is visible from Wilverley Road. You can park at Longslade View car park and then walk back to the main road. The Trig is about 50 metres East of the car park turn off, in flat heathland with gorse bushes in glorious full bloom during May.

Sure many of our friends think we trig baggers are barking, anyway. This visit would utterly confirm it. My visit, in the dark, was prompted by fact that the number 2712 on the bronze flush bracket happens to represent, at least in my geeky brain, the 60th birthday year of Marilyn inventor Alan Dawson, so being an eccentric arty nerd I thought I might try and make a ceramic cast of this flush bracket as a bizarre present!! Hence me and my son Jamie were hunting for this trig in the dark near to the side of the road, (it's about 40 metres north of the road amongst scattered gorse bushes) and then taking a bag of blue powdered moulding alginate and water and a plastic tub and trying smearing this gel mixture with my hands onto the metal to try and take a mould from it. It was cold about 3-4 degrees and mixture was too sloppy and not helped by me spaying some WD40 on it as I thought it may help as a mould release to stop it sticking. Of course because of this, initially it wouldn't adhere at all. What a nightmare of nuttiness. But as the blue mixture started to gel & solidify I did manage to get enough to adhere to enable me to hope that a cast could in fact be taken. I left it for five mins while I returned to the car to get a pen knife to cut round the edges and managed to gingerly peel it off. I cleaned up the edges round the flush bracket a bit, but with apologies to future visitors for the bits of blue plasticky stuff still there. Also interesting to note that the original brass flush bracket cast of the numbers was clearly slightly wonky when it was made as the final 2 is a bit lopsided. Makes it extra unique though.

Flush bracket ceramic cast sculpture This sculpture celebrates the sixtieth birthday 2nd July 2012 of Alan Dawson inventor of the \'Marilyns\' hill list in the book the \'Relative Hills of Britain\', AKA Blanco in the scottish mountain fanzine Thee Angry Corrie. This is a ceramic cast taken from a mould made from the actual flush bracket of trig pillar \'Sway\' in Hampshire by Charles and Jamie Everett in darkness!! on the evening of Mon13th Feb 2012 and now framed in a waxed open oak frame designed to represent the rock strata of the mountain environment, a nice ironic total contrast to the flatland non hill summit site of this particular trig pillar!©vegibagger

A pillar just a few yards off the road in open heathland. A convenient car park close by if you don’t fancy stopping at the roadside… it is a bit narrow. The pillar is in good condition, apart from the missing centre plug which has been replaced with tarmac/resin/something. The views are just open heath with gorse and heather. Not very interesting unless you like that sort of thing.

Parked at the side of the road and one of the team dashed to the trig. Lots of frisky horses about, so took a photo from a distance, then tried to get closer without getting trampled!

Parked in nearby car park and walked back to the trigpoint, (which is nearer the road than the car park). The pillar is in good condition, although shows signs of scratching, though not of recent origin.

An easy find as can be seen from the road; quickly logged after parking right next to it.

This was pretty easy, there is a path through burnt out gorse.

Signs of life are returning to the surrounding burnt gorse. Elsewhere I saw signs warning of controlled burning so perhaps that is what happened here. Fire is one hazard of trigging I hadn't thought of before here. GR to 10m only.

Good condition but tarmac plug. Nestling in the gorse by the car park.

Surrounded by burnt gorse, not far from the road, so an easy find at dusk>

No 7 for today - that's the lot. A good, hot bike ride. The mentioned gorse had been burnt by the time of my visit. I bet it would have made a good photo (but vandals don't usually have photography in mind). Views to Sway Tower and (just through the haze) the Isle of Wight and Fawley Oil Terminal chimneys.

Some evidence of vandal activity, and the post is surrounded by gorse so the views aren't much. However, spectacular views on the walk from the car park make up for it.

I'm writing this in Aug 2018 having just dug out some old maps and found notes on a few trigs I did 20+ years ago before I even realised this site existed! This was a busy Bank Holiday Monday out trigging. My notes only record the time and "Vws N".

First attempt to find this the previous day foiled by the Old Man cycling off with the maps! Returned by car for a bit of a hunt, eventually located in a gorse bush.

In amongst the gorse. Tarmac plug.
