Pulled over on north side of road about a mile north east of Aynho at start of footpath heading north. Along field boundary for about five hundred metres then pillar came into view to north west on far side of ploughed field. Bit of trudge, otherwise a longer walk around field perimeter. Fairly good views, farmland to south and countryside to north west. Spider and plugged asphalt cap in place. South west corner of Northamptonshire.

Pretty easy, followed the overgrown foot patch though the first field and it opened right out in the second one, where the pillar resides of the far edge

A super walk cross country from King's Sutton station. The pillar is tucked into a hedgerow field edge. Not much in the way of views but a lovely location on a sunny day.

Walton Grounds Lovely location amidst the cornfields.

Pulled in at start of bridleway to the south and walked up the edge of the fields. Pillar easily found, and sits in front of a decent view across the next field. Thirteenth and final bag on a successful and enjoyable roadtrip around Northamptonshire.

Visited during 6 mile walk from boat tied at Aynho Wharf on Oxford Canal. Roundabout route to avoid road walking on a very hot day. Pillar found easily via Souldern Mill and Walton Grounds thanks to wide headlands around fields of barley. Rainsborough Camp provided interest and shade!

After an early lunch I got this Trig on the way back to Oxford. It can almost be reached using ROW except for the last little bit. Another Trig that is slowly being eaten by the hedge. At least the weather has improved so my cycle back should good. Did 75miles in the end.

Took a short diversion across the cropfield from the designated footpath, whilst passing by on a geocaching trail. Pillar is set in a hedge demarcating two fields. Asphalt in plug. Good panorama to the W.

An easy-access pillar, just a short easterly walk from the bridleway and the pillar is easy to see in the hedgeline. Ashphalt plug replacement. Traces of paint. Sightholes appear all closed. Good views to the south and south-west. A pleasant spot with the old fort not far away.

The trig point forms part of the hedgeline. Nice panorama to the north. Not sure of the accuracy of my logged grid reference, but the one advertised seemed pretty much spot on. Fairly easy walk along footpath and hedgerow to get to it.

We approached this one from the bridle path near College Farm. Its in the hedge but not overgrown which made a pleasant change, and the field edges are clear enough to walk up. Had a look at Rainsborough Castle, an iron age hill fort with permitted access, on the way back which is worth a visit. Tarmac plug.
