Numerous revisits to this trig, most recent before today was Jan 2022. Since then the trig has been carefully repainted; more of a brick red perhaps than the previous postbox red - looks good. But the interesting change concerns the plug. In Dec 2018 there was a plain replacement disc. By April 2021, this was missing. Today there is a replacement of a type I've not seen before. Moulded from a single piece of plastic (resin?), raised lettering with slightly uneven spacing. I would guess this is a non-OS 3D print. Maybe similar plugs will appear on other local trigs. Muddy morning with rain approaching.

One of four trigs bagged on the way to Harrogate. This was the second. Parked on King Alfred's Drive for the short walk through the woods to the pillar. Painted in brick red, it blends with it's surroundings OK but up close isn't so good. It is in generally good condition but the foundations are partly exposed and the spider has been fitted with a replacement centre.

Approached from the cycle path leading off Tongue Lane then followed nose/paths to the left and upwards until saw the trig - as others have commented, shame it's been painted red!

Yet another of those wild green patches of Leeds. A very fetching red under the grey skies, goes nicely with the clay soils. Back home via a drive down memory lane in the student lands down the road. Guest appearance from what should be a contender for replacing the owls as Leeds' emblem - red kite.

A fabulous trig, hidden away in a little patch of nondescript scrubby copse. Parked next to a pair of newish houses that sit on Tongue Lane adjacent to the school playing fields, and walked to the footpath. The route is obvious - at the dogleg in the path, there are two trods that lead off into the woods - take the left - and it leads straight to what seems to be a popular trig. For some reason it is painted red, which is now faded badly. The pillar itself is in good shape. A really interesting spot, this. Might return with some white Sandtex one day...

(1023) Parked up in a layby on the road off Tongue Lane - or is this still classed as Tongue Lane? - that leads to the Leisure Centre. Surprisingly closer to the road than I thought it would be. Looking back I could still my car through the trees. Despite being painted bright red, including the FB, I managed to miss it on my first sortie into the still fairly dense woodland. Soon found, though. I'm not a fan of painted pillars, but I must say I did quite like the look of this amongst all the greenery. Pillar history: Built on the 16th of December 1946, at a cost of £6 9s 6d. Last maintained by the OS in September of 1986.

3 of 4 on a sunny sunday. Parked in small car park next to 25 King Alfreds Drive and walked up path in the woodland. Trig could be awkward to find in late summer, but I followed E/W remains of a low stone wall. The trig is by it, painted red. Who? Why?When? No views but a pleasant woodland walk. On to last trig, Scott Hall, and what an interesting last one it turned out to be.

Bagged this one on the way home from work, with it being only a 20 min walk from home. The first red painted trig Point Ive found too! Pathetically, I found it quite hard to locate due to the trees surrounding it, and the fact it isnt at the highest point of the hill. I ended up resorting to my GPS to locate it in the end. Views are not exactly breath taking, but you can make out the high point at Rawdon, and the mast at the airport. Fantastic view of the ring road!

The layby on the sports centre road would have worked but I parked in the Homebase car park over the road. Not hard to find at this time of year, head into the wood from the layby and once you come across a path of sorts you should see the trig above - if you look for a broken wall shown on the OS map it's there! Wonder who painted it? I like it though, maybe not for the moors and mountains but pretty cool here. Nice to be alone in this urban area, gonna give this a 6 cos it was an enjoyable bag and a bit unusual too. Into April then.....

What kept you? No two are the same...

You can hardly miss it at THAT colour and at this time of year.

Log #32. (144m). Logged on 5.2 km walk from Alwoodley to Headingley through Meanwood Valley. Like others, I failed to find this on first attempt in Dec. Pillar wearing Fuschia colored paint. Nice view to West towards Adel.

Dead easy to find in winter and the unusual colour helps.

Would be difficult to find without GPS device in summer - it's in dense undergrowth and not at summit.

Tunnel How Well hidden in the jungle despite its colour.

Very difficult to locate without the aid of a GPS. Virtually hidden in a mass of bracken. Situated in knoll of woodland and scrub with innumerable dog walker paths none of which lead to the pillar! If you like your pillars in red then this is the one for you. Once the bracken had been trampled down I found the pillar to be in a very good state apart, that is, from the garish red pain. Virtually no view as the bracken was above head height.

Someone has repainted the Pillar, Flush bracket and all... retains such a score for being a nice Rosso Red colour.

Navigated with map and compass from the nearby geocache. Found easily with no leaves on the trees or bracken underfoot. Recorded condition as slightly damaged because it has been painted red - why???

I've heard of painting the town red .....

I can only concur that this is hard (and will get harder) to find. You may just chance upon it easily, so good luck to you. I took the path next to the school up to the wooded summit. There is a path that runs around it and from here you can find the two collapsed walls to the west. The trig is along one of the walls. Good luck to you!

We parked in the layby on the road that leads down to the David Lloyd fitness centre. The trig is to the right of the summit from here and quite visible at this time of year. Plastic plug.

My embarressment is overwhelming (see my July offering further on). Determined to find the trig today no matter how long it took after 2 previous abyssmal failures. Took all of 2 minutes !! ted's photo helped - had passed within 20 feet of it before and missed it. The Trig has been resurrected from the foilage by, well - me - and is far more visible (until summer 2006). -- : -- The following is my July 2005 log -- : -- I'll be buggered if I could find it! Came up from the Ring Road and wandered about a lot, noted what the previous visitors have said but, nope, it was unavailable to me today. The foilage was very high, maybe, maybe - perhaps I'm just crap - will have to return in the winter eh! This was supposed to be the first on a 20+ mile trig tigger, not the best of starts!!!!

The nearest trig point to home and, to date, the most difficult to locate, even though it is only 200 yards from the A6120 Leeds outer ring road. It is surrounded by shoulder high vegetation and young trees. Considering its urban location it is in surprisingly good condition. No graffiti or vandalism - probably because the local scallys cannot find it!

Its still there - hidden in the bracken. It will get increasingly difficult to find as the saplings grow. Plug replaced by plastic cover; one sighting-hole open. Generally in good condition for an urban trig.

Thanks for the hint from the previous visitor that this one is not on the hill top. The wood is popular with locals particularly dog walkers.
