Pulled into a small layby on a bend. The trig is a stones throw away in the wood. There is a very low cut through in the hedge, but this was full of boggy water under foot and you can’t tell how deep it is and after getting my feet wet decided to go round the side and pushed through the hedge ripping my hair out at the root but wasn’t letting it go . Got through and bagged the trig once through the hedge. Lots of water and rubbish around. Probably a lot better and dryer in the summer, although I imagine even more hedge growth.

Heavily fly tipped area, noticed the slight gap in the bush and pushed my way through and was thankfully greeted by the trig. Would have been a nicely hidden trig had it not been for the amount of rubbish.

Heading south and east from Gainsborough along Heapham Road, pulled over near right hand bend in road. Higher ground was a clue. Bit of a fly tipping corner, pretty disgusting. Needed a bit more detail to help locate pillar than the OS Landranger. It’s actually 10 metres north of the corner hidden by overgrown by thick bushes, although it looks as if access has been achieved by someone taking a chainsaw to cut a way through to the pillar. However, it looks a bit like a camp or squat, felt as if I needed a bath afterwards. Surprisingly the pillar is in good condition with spider and cap in place. Otherwise would have marked it lower. No views now but probably good before it became overgrown.

Passing the area so went to see how easy it would be to access. Parked on the bend which had a convenient lay-by type clearing. Shame about the fly tipping however easy enough to spot in the bushes- bonus of wintertime. Trig was green and mossy but in tact.

One of six trigs bagged in the Gainsborough area. This one is sited just off the road on a bend where it is possible to park just off the road. An unremarkable area used by less sociable individuals to dump rubbish. If you want to find this pillar you will have to be fairly determined. Although very close to the road it is in the middle of a very small area of woodland and hidden from view. Much of woodland is Hawthorn etc with a profusion of nettles etc. I figure this pillar would be easier to see and access in the winter. I persisted and got through the growth to access the pillar.

Parked in field entrance on bend in road, Trig is well hidden in the edge on the left hand side, Maybe easier to get to in winter but this is an hands and Knees approach, Once through it opens up and there's good room round the pillar, Trig is in great condition with all its metal work, This Trig should be safe for many years to come because of it location and only Triggers will be looking to seek it out. Good luck trying to get to it

(238) Parked up as Heapham road takes a turn to the right. A farm worker was in the field, so made enquiries about the trigpoint. He said despite working here for a good few years, he'd never seen the pillar in question before. At that point the heavens opened, so I quickly retired to my car to wait it out, and to double check I was actually in the right place. Deciding to quickly check the hedge before moving on, revealed that I was indeed in the right place. Access, though not totally easy, was surprisingly straight forward. I had imagined, reading previous logs, that this one would be difficult. And once you get closer to the pillar, there is more room to manoeuvre. If a relatively clear route to this pillar is down to a member on here, then thank you. As to the Pillar itself - all appears good. Pillar history: Built on the 17th of October 1948, at a cost of £9 6s 4d. Last maintained by the OS in October of 1980.

We were caching in the area and noticed this one on the map. Parked off the road on the bend and went in search. Soon spotted in the middle of a small thicket. We approached from the field side then fought our way over the debris dumped there and finally into the thicket to reach the trig. Appears in good condition.

A joint visit with Carole. It was dark by the time we parked on the road corner. It took some finding but Carole bumped into it first when trying to go through a gap in the hedge. Mus a difficult one to spot when the foliage is in full growth. From what I could see the pillar is in good condition.

Hard to get due to its location in a thicket of Hawthorn and Sloe bushes. The spider is quite off centre and there is a small crack running from the spider down the front, however this look like a flaw from when it was cast rather than recent damage. I suggest you visit this one in winter as its a bugger to reach in summer. We emergered covered in cuts and scratches.

Parked on the corner near the trig quite hard to get to due the thicket of hawthorne bushes. There is a lot of fly tipping rubbish which spoils the area and quite a few broken padlocks and chains.This is in very good condition as the local holigans have not found it and defaced it.One thing we did notice is that the spider is very off set in the top of the trig. Recomend a winter vist.

It is no wonder that I could not find this one at my summer 2004 visit. Whilst its visibility was much improved, it was still a hands and knees job in the mud to get under the thorns. I had to repeat the effort because I forgot to get a GPS reading! My access was from the field on the east side. Well done Father Ted for being the only successful summer logger so far!

Deeply embedded in a very prickly blackthorn hedge. You can only really approach it from the fence side of the hedge as that's the way the flush bracket faces. All intact - plug with slightly indented letters. No paint. All sightholes open. Concrete base exposed by about 12" on E side overhanging the ditch. No real views except over the Gainsborough industrial estate.
