First of 2 trigs on a 7.5 mile hike from Skipton to Silsden. Early 7.50am start on a beautifully clear, sunny morning. Bitterly cold ('Feels like -8C') as the sun rose to illuminate the trig and nearby cairns. 10.5 years since last visit.

Parked near the end of Shortbank Road & followed The Dales Highway PROW, eventually crossing the stile in the stone wall on the right before continuing to the summit. Views over Skipton, Embsay and beyond to the Yorkshire Dales. The pillar is in generally good condition but has a crack on one side and the hole in the centre of the spider has been filled with concrete or similar.

Very windy atop but great views over Skipton and the Dales beyond. Descended to the west, following the distinct path on the ridge down to the Jenny Gill FP, then back to car,

Was aiming for Ovenden but again catching the bad weather. Lovely walk in wintry lanes feeling that shift to brighter greener lands as the South Pennines shift into North Yorkshire mode. This hill a beautiful pivot between the two with Bowland catching snow pulse at our sides. A tremendous orange sunset to end after the thick greys head towards Airedale.

Parked at end of residential road (SE 0016 5118). Good track to a wall junction (SE 0074 5076) whence a narrow unmapped track winds up onto the ridge. The pillar sits on a grassy area some 30m E of the hill summit rock. Centre cap replaced by what could be either a mortar or an asphalt plug - it's been painted so a bit tricky to say which; RHS sight hole open. A vertical fracture runs down 30cm or so from the end of one spider arm. Otherwise good. Nice panoramic views.

Parked at the end of Shortbank Road and walked up onto the Dales High Way, turning right through the gate just before the small line of pine trees, and then abruptly up the hillside trod that doesn't appear on the map. A short sharp pull and we were up - and what a trig this is. Glorious views over Skipton, lower Wharfedale and beyond. Wonderful place. The pillar itself has a large crack in the top third that looks like freeze/thaw damage, which could potentially cause some real problems. Otherwise in fine nick. We returned via Vicar's Allotment and Jenny Gill.

Easy to get to, parked literally where the road ended and the path started in Skipton and walked up the Dales Highway towards the moor, branching off through a small gate to climb the hill. The day was overcast but still really enjoyable. The views must be amazing on a clear day. There are 3 memorial cairns up there too, so plenty to see. Trig in good condition.

Left bike at end of cul-de-sac road from Skipton and made the climb on foot. Intrigued by the three neighbouring carefully constructed dry stone pillars. Barely got back to bike before the first large drops of rain came which turned into about an hour of rain. Watched end of the day's stage of the Criterium Internationale on Eurosport in a bike shop and then a leisurely coffee to sit it out!

Steep but enjoyable walk up from the outskirts of Skipton. Was expecting a difficult final ascent as there is no path marked on the OS maps to the trig point, but in actual fact it is pretty well-trodden. Extremely cloudy day, so the view was limited. Interesting twin cairns 50 metres from the trig point. A really enjoyable, unheralded trigpoint walk - I'm surprised this one isn't more well-known!

Up the old coach road (the toll house is still there on Shortbank Road). Imagine the coaches carreering down into Skipton!! It is very steep. Stone plug, good condition

Easily accessible and visible. I came up on the path from Jenny Gill expecting a bit of heather bashing once I needed to leave the right of way to head east. However there was a lovely well walked path which took me directly up to the crags and pillar on Skipton Moor. A wonderful location with outstanding views over the surrounding countryside. Today all the various land marks including the town of Skipton could be seen. Pillar in good condition with concrete plug. Only one hole open.

Attractive climb up. Odd cairns around. A HuMP, known, less cryptically, as Skipton Moor.

1st part of a linear, taking in 4 trigs today. This was the hardest, slogged in from the N, slogged out S. A lovely place to stop though

What a great place. Interesting terrain, a couple of nice cairns, and fantastic views all around. I was lucky to visit on a lovely warm spring day with clear blue skies.

Skipton Moor, really good view across Skipton. Once again no public RoW routes to the trig, but the paths are there. First visited a year and a week ago, nice to get the photo's this time when the weather was good.

Some nice views were available north over Skipton, although it was very windy when I was there.

Unusually-shaped cairn next to trig. Watch out for scramble bikes on the descent to Skipton

Visited to record FB number. The pillar was completed 28th May 1949 costing £15.19s.10d. In 1951 this marker was computed for triangulation as secondary station SD96/18 in the Skipton block. Flush bracket S5561 was levelled for height also in 1951. This trig point was last maintained by the OS in July 1986.
