Easy to find, followed footpath sign from Kingsdale Road. Sheep on fells, so kept both dogs on lead. Lovely view to Ingleborough. Couldn't see across to Morecambe bay today.

Onwards from Clapham for the 567 (£2) Kirkby Lonsdale to Kendal bus. The third day of the Kendal Limestone Way and treading on virgin soil around this pillar and the journey to KL, however the hills of Crag and Gragareth are old friends. I have to give this one to the ice cream van parked at the head of Ingleton Waterfalls Trail at 10 am. Last saw him when here 5 years ago, same spot at 19.30 pm. Dedication.

As others, parked in the layby at the gate to the transmitter and followed the grassy track up to the trig. It was blowing an absolute hoolie up at the trig so we didn't linger long and it was rather too dull to appreciate the views however I imagine they would be very impressive on a clear day. A very interesting looking limestone pavement in the vicinity worthy of exploration in calmer weather conditions!

Day 3 of 13: A Bay to Bay Walk. Day 2 had involved a 21 mile monster from Silverdale to just past Kirkby Lonsdale via Hutton Roof, but unfortunately not via Hutton Roof trig. Day 3 was shorter, camping at Meadow Falls W of Ingleton. Bags off, tent up we ventured up the Kingsdale Road. The pillar is not obvious but will be found by following the track over the access land. A super spot with extensive views we spent a summer evening up here with a few stellas (bagged of course) and called my dad to wish him a happy 70th birthday. Unforgettable.

Excellent views from the trig point. Ingleboro particularly impressive from this angle. As with nearly all pillars this one could do with a coat of paint!

Plug missing. Good view of Ingleborough; less good view of quarry. Very quiet.

From the minor road along Kingsdale a farm track to the north led towards the column. Had noticed this column years earlier but at the time couldn't be bothered to walk across to it.

First visit. To record FB number. The pillar was completed in May 1949 costing £12.0s.3d. In 1950 this marker was computed as tertiary station SD47/T48 in the Barrow-in-Furness secondary block. Flush bracket S5397 was levelled for height also in 1950. This trig point was last maintained by the OS in June 1976. Enroute to Gragareth Fell.

Pillar looking a bit shabby in the failing light. Visited after going into Yordos Cave.
