Like others, parked at the small layby in Fourstones and followed the public bridleways West, then up through the trees and across the field to the trig. Ground would have been muddy in places, but being frozen helped somewhat. -1°C, sunny.

Walked up from the lay-by just before the PROW in Fourstones. Through two fields of cows and calves which thankfully didn’t pose any issue. Local farm dogs paid me some interest but soon got bored. Up the through the plantation and still ascending in the top field. Trig was the other side of the stone wall in field of sheep and cows which had no issue with me being there with. Finished of with a brew, a moo and few ewe!!

My second visit, different route: came up the PROW from the SE, through High Warden and some pleasant woods and up to the radio mast before working out a route that best swerved the cows, who were in the Trig field and both the fields at the top of the hill adjoining it. This was easily achieved sticking to field edge of the field that runs up toward the TP on the eastern side of the dry stone wall. Coming up from Fourstones you’d emerge from the wood directly in the field with the cattle in with no option but to walk past or through them. Overall it’s a more pleasant walk to the pillar than the route from Fourstones, and well signposted through High Warden Farm. Decent views from the Trig, but nothing spectacular. Good Hill Fort on the top of the hill though - if the cows will grant you access to explore it...

11th of 13 trigs bagged along Hadrian's Wall hike. Lots of cows with calfs. One was very near the trig and was getting a bit nervous so had to hide behind the wall behind the trig and take pics quickly. Didn't get to inspect the spider. Had to run....fast. Came up from substation through the little forrest. When you come out the forrest, turn immediate right and then through the gate. Follow wall uphill to the left to the trig.

Walked up from Fourstones. In haste to get up through the wood took a direct line up through the trees, instead of walking about another 10 yards further then following the good path as indicated by a finger post marker! This path leads to a gate in the wall - my route didn't...the cows in the field N of the TP were 'entertaining'. Reasonable views, but nothing awe inspiring.
