Damaged 3rd Jul 2023  15:37  by trigging on an island

FB Number: S7502  Condition: Damaged  Score: 8/10

Was quite a fair out and back diversion to call by here after Millstone Edge but decent views southward certainly made up for the extra effort. Some great walking up here with barely a soul in sight for mile after mile after mile.

Parked at the start of the track into the new plantation. From a distance there looked like there were tracks cut into the hillside from the previous logging. Walked to the end of the mapped track but there were no easy ways onto the old tracks. Returned to the road, along to the pasture and then followed the quad track all the way to the trig. From the top the logging tracks are old and over grown and it will be no quicker walking this way.

Parked at bridge SE of Tup Knowe and ran back down road to climb Ellson Fell, Carlin Tooth then onto Tudhope Hill. Warm and Breezy day offering great views all around.

Parked at ny 439977 ample space next to plantation. From road walk was a direct uphill and return. The cement around spider top is eroded and plug missing. Extra marks added for the wild life, deer, and the fantastic panoramic views which included the Solway Firth.

Tudhope Hill Electric fence and access to open fell. Look for the blue handle.

Very cloudy at the summit and boggy in places on the way up (Thank goodness for wellies) but a good climb up counting the fence posts!

From NY 4392 9777, steeply up SW side forest. Pillar has severe damage to top screed, 80%+ has gone, along with some of the concrete leaving the spider standing proud. Centre cap missing, no plug; front, LHS and rear sight holes open. Extensive panoramic views.

Parked by the County Boundary sign S of the hill. Set off up the hill along an ATV track that follows along the county boundary directly to the TP. The going underfoot is very easy going, however the gradient is not. A good work-out for your calves going up and your quads coming down! Absolutely magnificent day, freezing cold and icy but not a cloud in the sky or a stitch of wind. Views outstanding in all directions. The damage to this pillar is very similar to that on nearby Chapel Hill, Kirk Hill and Deadwater Moor - a bad batch of concrete mix perhaps?!

Condition gets worse, cap now gone and spider very exposed. Who on earth would come all this way with hammers, chisels or whatever for this piece of metal? From Linhope on circuit of nearby hills.

Parked in forestry track entrance. Followed track until almost the end and began the ascent where there's an excavation into the hillside. The first part of the slope has been recently planted so will become difficult in a few years time. Once out of the plantation it's just a slog over tussocky grass. Panoramic vew from trig. There's some recent damage to the top (with the debris scattered around the base of the pillar) and the spider is now exposed.

Parked in the old quarry to the south and took in the pillar on a circular route including Millstone Edge-Langtae Hill-Cauldcleuch Head-Muckle Land Knowe-Pennygant Hill and Stob Fell. Belting weather and terrific views of including The Lammamuirs-Cheviots-North Pennines-Lake District-Broad Law-Moorfoot Hills. Met the same farmer setting the corvid trap as the previous visitors.

Forestry mostly cut down--but replanted with young trees.Followed track to end then up fenceline. Interesting crow trap, man was restocking it with food (eggs) and water as we passed.

Revisit. Approached from southeast. Parked in wide track entrance at NY439977. Followed mapped track almost to end then climbed ESE slope of hill to summit. Open grazing top. The pillar was in good condition at the date of this visit but has since suffered malicious damage to its top. The spider retained its original OS centre cap with deep indented letters but that too had been stolen by the end of 2018. Flush bracket faces ENE, compass measurement 73°. Vented through three sight holes, RHS (NW) face plugged, innards filled with debris. Full 360° panoramic view includes Roan Fell, Wisp Hill, Skelfhill Pen.

First visit. To record FB number.Pillar in good condition. Spider retains OS centre cap with deep indented letters. The weather had just cleared up from earlier that day, hence the wet ground.
