Simple park up and a quick photo of the pillar in a yellow gorse embrace. Pretty uninteresting.

Last one for today. Rather too windy for being on a bike. Easy road side one. Up a bank and FB is slightly berried. Not bad for the first proper Trig Hunting day after moving to my new house. 7 trigs in 35miles.

Local pillar to my new home. Must have driven past it scores of times! There was bread on the top again as mentioned in other logs; what a strange place to put it, it makes you wonder who and why!

Pulled over in gateway opposite junction. Took a few minutes to locate the trig, hidden behind the hedge on top of the bank. More visible once I was up onto the bank.

Great fun on a busy road...caused tailbacks as a farmer decided to stop in his tractor and wait for us to move!!!! There was plenty of room to get through...... Never the less great trig in an easy location (perhaps not during school run time though).

This is now no longer quite so buried under the gorse - I took a pair of garden cutters with me this morning, and cut the vegetation back quite hard. That's re-exposed the top plug nicely.

Parked on minor road west of the trig point. Convenient gap in the hedge gives access. The trig has a lot of gorse surrounding it but at least the flush bracket faces the field.

Well, this is my 500th trig. I fondly imagined this landmark would be reached in some spectacular location like Scafell Pike - but here I am, parked up in a potato field on a narrow lane NW of Wolverhampton! Still, they all count..... This one is easy to find, just through a gap in the hedge on the side of a barley field. It's all intact, with the original plug - slightly-indented letters. The top is covered with thick gorse which needs to be prised up gently to see the plug. White-painted, with all sightholes below soil level. Goods views W over Shropshire and E towards Wolverhampton. A very busy lane at this time of night with all the affluent Black Country workers returning to their rural retreats!

Well hidden in a hedge, easy access, if you can see it. The road although a 'yellow' is very busy, so take care.
