Pulled in at start of byway Upper Icknield Way on west side of road. Could probably have ridden along for about 750 metres as far as the junction of footpaths, surface not too bad maybe a bit slippery. Uphill to south west along footpath. After about 700 metres ground levelled. Headed into woods to east. No obvious high point to aim for. A couple of saggy barbed wire fences to step over, although a trip hazard where they are covered by fallen leaves. Spotted pillar about two hundred and fifty meters east of path. Spider and cap in place. No views.

Walked up from the car park around a mile south west. When I came off the path there were strange noises in the woods and I was glad to get back to it!

3/4 with Gav and Debi. Made it into a nice 2.8 mile circular walk, joining up with a bit of The Ridgeway (which I walked all of in 2011).

Simple walk up the permissive footpath from the Ridgeway through the woodland. Not much of views from the trig due to trees, but nice long views from the edges of the hill.

Parked in car park and followed bridleway north to the 233 spot height on map , turning right on a good track east. The area south of this track is all signed private woodland and just as the track turns north a dotted path on the O.S map continues east towards the trig point, this last section in inside the private woodland.

This is my 200th TP and i didnt know if i would be able to get to it, but in the end, it was easy. You can cycle to within 200m using the informal ROW following rather decrepit barbwire fence. Then hop over it and short walk to TP. Lovely dappled sunshine.

Pleasant walk up from car park to SW. RoW initially then through managed deciduous woodland with a number of 'strictly private - no trespassing' signs attached to trees. Pillar has retained the original cap with indented lettering; front and rear sight holes are open. No views.

I parked to the South West at the car park then along through woods - Pillar is in good condition and is located off the ROW in woods marked as private - but fence is broken down. No views from pillar but some big views along the way to the West.

A lot of huffing and puffing up very steep hill. Approached from the NE via the paths marked on OS map. From where I parked the car to the top of the hill is a vertical height of 65 metres and it bloody feels like it!

Nice short walk. Walked in from the East on bridleway. Reach junction of paths. Enter wood and follow path up to the SW until you reach fence then turn SE. Pillar 100m in open woodland. Good condition.

I followed Rhayader wanderers instructions. Just about found a place to park the car past the level crossing. Access pretty staightforward.

A good climb up from my local cache -found when I couldn't find the chalk mark I was also looking for- not so hard to find in the woods; just keep walking up hill. All in good order.

Not sure how accessible this one should be, there is a sign saying private and across the track next to the one up. Seemed to be others in the woods and nobody too concern so mst be OK. Trig in good order, had it's own enclosure?

vgc, metal cap shallow letters, level summit in decent beechwood, just inside fence. Track from E, somehow managed to descend N via Bledlow, compass in pocket ! A nice enough walk.

No GPS reception in woods so no grid reference. Other than that, nothing to add.

Access possible from near level crossing at lower wainhill. Take right bridleway then just after crossing the ridgeway clib up steeply on wildlife trust path then follow crest to trig. miossy uninspiting site but the airy walk is good

Not easy to find in wood. Noted signs on new tree plantings on my way out! Great weather - delightfully tranquil place.

Tricky one to get to this one, especially as a lot of the woods are out of bounds at the moment because of new tree planting. Admittedly we did dodge through a gap in the barbed wire fence 200 ft from the trig, so not entirely public at the moment. TP in good condition, plug intact and plate complete. Does need a good bath though.
