Parked on Park Ave, walked up Amblers Croft. Owner chatty and confirmed it is a right of way so no issues walking through. Muddy but no horses in field.

Lovely wander just on the cusp of sunset though Buck and Poggy Woods to bag this one. The Trig is in good overall condition - atop a hill with great views of the surrounding areas.

Parked on Park Road, Then walked up Amblers Croft, which then becomes a footpath, along which it is necessary to climb over a gate. Then climbed over a second gate into the trig field. From there, walked up to the summit of The Nosegay and the pillar. No horses in the trig field, but there were quite a number in adjacent fields

Another easy one to find and get to, walked passed a stables up a rough track and through an open gate to the trigpoint up a short hill. Looking a little dirty and the plug is missing but on the whole a good one to log and activate my Ham radio from.

(2200) Parked on Park Road and then walked up Amblers Croft to the stables. Spoke with a chap there, who gave the ok to visit the pillar. No horses in the field. Was informed it was used more in winter/spring months. Path does now seem to be permissive, and the pillar is only a short walk from that. All good - centre cap non original though. A nice and easy one to bag all told. Pillar history: Built on the 10th of July 1947, at a cost of £8 19s 11d. Last maintained by the OS in August of 1986.

From Ambler Croft - much easier than some comments suggest - straight up the track (which now appears to be a permissive path with the only signs being about keeping dogs on leads as horses around) then as track veers right towards the woods it's straight up the grassy/thistly hill.

Up the track from Ambler Croft and asked permission at the stables - readily granted and told to go along track and through gate into field. Vast amounts of mud around but it has rained continuously for the last 2 months. Trig readily visible at top of almost grassless field containing about 20 horses mostly wearing coats and mud and looking bored. They didn't show any interest in me as I passed. In fact I'm sure I heard one mutter "it's just another trigging nerd"!

The final pillar of a tremendous day out was the best of the lot. After parking up on Amblers Croft, I walked up the track - and you can clearly see the trig on the hilltop ahead - but it was really obvious from the word go that I'd need the landowner's permission. The two riding schools/stables at the end of the lane were packed with mums taking their daughters riding, and cars coming and going. I got chatting to one of the mums and she directed me to Brendan at the house - and Brendan turned out to be a very friendly chap who happily granted me permission to visit the trig. He sent me up the track to the trig field with a friendly bit of advice to be careful around the horses. One of the mums came with me, and we got chatting about what trigs are, why I'd want to spend my Sunday bagging them, where I'm from, where I work, inside leg measurement, etc etc. The pillar sits with a lovely sweeping view, protected by thorny scrub and dedicated horses, and is in fine condition, albeit with a replacement cap. I struggled through the mud back to the car, having waved a goodbye to the gaggle of mums. Then it was onwards to The Calverley Arms for a restorative pint. Great outing.

A sharp contrast to my first visit 4 months ago. The boggy track now has the appearance of a dried river bed and the going is good. No livestock in the field and it shows - vegetation almost knee-deep right up to the pillar itself.

Parked in Theakley village and walked up (boggy) track towards pillar. As I reached the edge of the field where the pillar is sited I met a party of female equestrians. I was advised politely not to enter the field owing to the excitable state of the horses at that time. I decided to take the advice but spent some time enjoying watching those same horses galloping round the field. Not a wasted journey ! (This is a landmark - the number of trigs I have bagged in West Yorkshire now equals the number bagged in my home county of Kent !)

The pillar, horses and me - taken with 18-250 telephoto at full stretch !

Log #38. (151m). Very nicely perched on top of a knoll with good views all round. As reported by others, an abundance of horses here, all wanting their share of Polo mints. Trespass not necessary however, as I approached the farm and got permission, which was given without hesitation. On this lovely sunny but cold day, I took the 760 bus to Park Rd, then walked up Amblers Croft, and up the lane before climbing up to the Trig. I then continued along the lane to the NE and noticed that there used to be a ROW here. There are ancient trods still in place (parts now buried) and the path eventually drops down to a step style to join a ROW thru Dawson Wood, which I followed to join Ainsbury Av. I then followed the FPs all the way around thru Buck Wood to join Buck Mill Lane, where I dropped down to the swing bridge over the canal and the long FB over the River Wharfe to arrive at Otley Rd in Tong Park. A fab walk thru the woods, with good geology and a delightful 5 km walk.
