Parked at the end of the bridleway east of the trig, and walked up. Pillar in a patch of daisies in the middle of a crop field, now harvested. Easily accessed, and with a decent if unspectacular view.

Pulled over in lane on west side of B3148 about a mile north west of Sherborne. South along lane, big puddles, to barn at a crossroads of tracks. Pillar visible in field to south west on high ground. Not sure what was growing in the field but looks like grass, possibly for hay. Views over open farmland. Cap plugged.

High point of a field of ripe seeds that were probably flax or maybe linseed.

Field had been harvested, so trig could be clearly seen from the corner of field and simple walk up. If the rain had not started and the clouds had not come down, I suspect the views would have been good.

My last pillar of the day before a rewarding football match: Yeovil Town 1-2 Swindon Town. A muddy farm track up to the trig-containing field, then a careful walk along the tractor lines avoiding the young green growth. Pillar has an asphalt cap, and one sight-hole open.

Was going to walk down Checcombe Lane, but a sudden rainstorm changed my mind. Drove 850m down the lane to a field entrance. Walked along hedgerow, then crossed into trig field for final 60m in a snow storm! Pillar in good condition in arable field, planted with a grass; cap missing, asphalt plug; rear sight hole only open. Extensive 360deg views.

Bagged while on circular walk from Sherborne. In middle of harvested wheat field - easy access from Checcombe Lane. Great 360 degree views.

Middle of (frozen) arable field. Easy access off ROW. Nearly dark and becoming foggy and cold. Pillar is in good condition.

On my first visit in July on the same day as TOM I couldn't find the TP because of the five foot tall linseed and the lack of a GPS.

Field had been newly sewn, we went around the back of the field and took it by surprise using the shortest route. Nice views.

Drove down the Monarch's Way to the large arable field, unsurfaced and full of pot holes. The rape seed is ready for harvest. Good view to the north and overlooks Yeovil to the west.

You cna drive part of the way down Monarchs Way from the B3148. The trig is in a large arable field. Good views, especially towards the north and Cadbury Hill. Tarmac plug.

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! Date is estimated (definitely 1995) for this trig bagged on a walk with friends who live in nearby Mudford and the pub lunch in Nether Compton thereafter was excellent!
