Visited while completing a circular walk in the Beanley area. Parked opposite gate that gives access to the radio masts. Luckily had a sunny day with little breeze which enabled some great views of the area.

Fifth visit, with Yaffle, comparing GPS readings on two different machines. Neither matched the given co-ordinates exactly, and the two machines differed slightly. Pillar has been whitewashed since my last visit. ~~ 10/02/21 My fourth visit, first time in snow. ~~ 06/07/20 My third visit, becoming something of a bi-annual tradition. Same route as before, there is an approach from the NW I must give a try to, probably in 2022. If you only ever visit 10 TP's in Northumberland - make this one of them.

Our first trig in the bag south of the border since easing of lockdown restrictions, rather an impromptu one as we happened to be driving past and I commented that it was an interesting looking hill, quickly checked the map discovered it was a triggy! ;-) Parked on the roadside verge and headed up the track to the mast, which was a tough wee climb but well worth the effort for such stunning views. The rocky outcrop provided additional photographic interest to keep my hubby happy! :-)

Verge parking near mast access track. Took that track to its end, then good grass track to trig. Pillar retains an original centre cap, lightly indented lettering; rear sight hole left unplugged for drainage, RHS plug virtually all gone so that sight hole is also now open; FB is of the 'BSM' type. There is a memorial plaque afixed to the front face, above the FB. Extensive views.

21/03/18 (Second Visit) An excuse (as if one was needed) to exercise the dogs, their vets being within sight from the TP in Powburn, while I was happy to reconfirm my original opinion - this is a lovely little hill with superb views. 18/04/16 - A grand little hill with cracking views all round. Easy ascent, gravel track steeply up 80m or so and the final walk up to the top from the radio mast is over well cropped grass and was remarkably dry after recent wet weather. On a day of perfect air clarity the views were superb.

Done as an add on to one of Derek Purdy's Northumberland Mountain Bike routes - a 12 mile ride to get 3 miles from Powburn. My son refused to let me go up the other trig near the route!
