Just behind hedge to South of road. Could've unwound barbed wire... But instead levered up lowest Barbie stand with my walking pole... Needed gardening to give enough access to flush bracket side, for ADCC

10/13 of a trigbagging weekend in the New Forest. Parked under tree by the house at the junction and walked back to look for a gap in the hedge. There is a space of missing hedgerow with three strings of barbed wire just past house before first large tree in hedge. Can easily step through. Walked around field edge to trig point just before second tree. Trig was engulfed in the large grasses at the edge of field, easily levelled. Hedge is cut back so not encroaching. FB faces towards house and is quite difficult to see and photograph as almost buried. Trig is in good condition with spider and FB intact.

Pillar not visible from the road. Pulled in under a tree on south side of road about 100 metres east of T Junction. Through barbed wire fence into field, walked west along field boundary, deep in long grass. Pillar tucked into hedge but visible. Previous visitors have done a fairly good job of keeping the hawthorn at bay. Views to the south towards Isle of Wight.

The field containing this Trig can be accessed through a barbed wire fence opposite the Lodge Lane turn off. Then it's a walk East along the hedge line until you can spot the pillar about halfway between the two tall roadside trees. I wouldn't bother trying to access it from the road. If you visit during summer you might want to take a pair of secateurs to trim back the encroaching blackthorn and brambles.

Accessing this little fieldside hedge-dweller involved squeezing my far-too-ample frame through a broken barbed wire fence before trudging through some very high and very wet long grass. Otherwise, it was easily located, being at the bend in the road between the first two trees after the Lodge Lane turning. Flush bracket is to one side, and required some stamping down of the vegetation to photograph it, though it looked like an earlier visitor had already done most of the stamping for me!

Roadside pillar, but on field side of hedgerow. Parking close by on wide verge. This one is being subsumed into the hedgerow; cut back a fair bit of the encroaching thorn, ivy and bramble. Pillar generally in good condition but for some slight chipping to top edges/corners; cap missing, no plug; LHD side and front sight holes closed, other 2 below ground level. Ground also begining to encroach onto FB, dug that out a little. 360deg views.

There is room to pull off the road onto the verge just a little to the east of the pillar. The barbed wire fence here is easy enough to negotiate, giving access to the field. The pillar is overgrown and the bottom of the flush bracket is just below ground level but you can still read the number. The pillar is in generally good condition but the centre plug has been removed. The only view is south across the field.

As has been said, this is invisible from the road at this time of year. Took one look at the broken gate with barbed wire and decided that the easier approach was to park at the road junction to the west of the trig and climb the gate there! The plug is missing but otherwise it's OK apart from a minor crack in one side. Three sightholes closed - the other invisible. No paint. Moderate views S to the Isle of Wight. The barley is ripening nicely!

Last of 9 early-morning trigpoints whilst en-route to the Charles Close Society AGM at the OS HQ in Southampton. The pillar is located close to the hedge in a field, close to the road. There is a nearby gate which is covered in barbed wire. However, there was a big enough gap under the gate to get past it without a problem
