Attempting to do the Howgill 1500s (31) which is a top to top - Wandope to Winder. I knew at Yarlside that I was asking the impossible and would be out for 10 - 12 hours, which I wasn't prepared to do today. So had a quick snoozette (something you can do almost anywhere on the Howgills), before rejigging the route and completed 17 tops and devised a circular for the remaining 14. Gifted to car washes £3 for 6 minutes. Why haven't I discovered these before, never washed a car in my entire life and never owned a white car that started growing green slime. Best three quid I have ever spent.

Last hill on a round of 8 in the Howgills today. Came down from The Calf, then dropped down to the road. Pillar is careworn with a very chipped top and multiple coats of paint, carelessly applied. It's white today, but past coats have been green and red. Centre cap missing, no plug; all sight holes open. Ground erosion has exposed the foundations. Cloud down so no views today.

Day 2 of 12 Dent to Boot Walk. All my life I have been wanting to walk in the Howgills, being denied on last year's hike by the weather. I have to say these sleek Silurian fells were worth the wait. Today's route was a full crossing S to N from Holme Open Farm SW of Sedbergh to Ravenstonedale. Decided to approach from the W from Howgill Lane. Quite busy at the trig itself, some German tourists admiring the view. Good condition, some of the red still smeared on the pillar. At last Winder is bagged, next stop the Calf itself, summit of all the Howgills.

Me at the pillar, backpack included My first walk on the Howgills

Final part of our journey, having started in Nebiggin-on-Lune at lunchtime. This pillar looks as though it's been green, pink and red at various times in the past. White and shiny now though. It looks to be bigger than most but maybe that's just because the ground has eroded around it.

Am I shrinking or is this an unusually large pillar?

Hiked up to this one from Sedbergh after getting the shuttle bus from Dent station at Cowgill. Went onto bag the Trig at The Calf in a 11.5 mile circular walk. Great weather clear, but very cold! Great views towards a snow capped Wild Boar Fell, Swarth Fell and Baugh Fell to the east, with a winter wonderland look to the Lake District to the west. A truly great day out. You can follow a detailed walking route and write up of this walk by typing Fell Finder into Google, thanks!

Traces of red paint beneath the white coat it wears at the moment - I bet that was a sight to see. Should probably be called Windier rather than Winder - it was blowing a gale when I arrived in thick fog/mist, before following the ridge round to The Calf.

My friend Carole has moved to Sedburgh, and this is her favourite walk. My husband and I accompanied her one day - it was a bit cold, but a lovely spot.

Walked up from Sedbergh choosing rather a steep path visiting this trig on the way to The Calf. Good views all around. Pillar had obviously at various times worn coats of both red and pink paint wth dark blue metalwork. Mssing plug.

vgc, white, no cap or plug, fine grassy summit, just in cloud so no view today. First of the day: good track from WSW. Apparently a topograph adjacent - forgot to examine it.

Visited traversing the Howgills south to north-Sedbergh to Gaisgill, parked Howgill Lane bridleway followed track up to Winder Trig in time to see sunrise beautiful on a clear crisp morning, then onwards skirting Arant Haw down to Rowantree Grains up to Calder over Bram Rigg and on to The Calf, the highest of the Howgills at 2218 feet and a good place to rest and take in the all round views,onwards passing White Fell over Bush Howe and down to Windscarth Wyke from which I had intended to climb up to Breaks Head however following a path to the left along the side of the valley brings you to the bottom of Wethercalf Moss thus avoiding an unnecessary climb, from hear up to Simon's Seat from which you can see (with a pair of binoculars) half a dozen Trigs including Middleton,following a quad bike track its a easy walk down to Middleton trig then down towards High Shaw you pass a old pack bridge where Langdale Beck joins Uldale Beck good photo opportunity here, followed the beck down to Low Shaw then over to Cowbound Lane through Longdale and on to Grisgill where a good friend gave me a lift back to Sedbergh (thank you Fiona) the walk took about six hours including stops and camera clicking, A wonderful days walking this route avoids to many ups and downs pick a good day and its great views all the way.

Plug missing. FB splashed with paint. Good views, especially over Sedbergh and across the Lune valley. Does anyone but the OS call it 'Winder Hill' rather than just 'Winder'.

It was horribly hot, and I almost suffered heatstroke due to my unruly mop-like hair, and my impressive beard... As you will see, I 'died' on the trig point... I was then resurrected for the journey onwards to The Calf!

Stopped off in Sedburgh en route from a week in the Lake District back to our work in Leeds. Circular walk anti-clockwise up from the town, very, very windy on top, trig needed an extra I in its name. Wonderful sloes on the way down at Height of Winder.

First visit. To record FB number. The pillar was completed in September 1949 costing £12.1s.9d. In 1950 this marker was computed for triangulation as tertiary station SD47/T57 in the Barrow-in-Furness secondary block. Flush bracket S5659 was levelled for height in 1950. This trig point was last maintained by the OS in June 1976. Direct climb from Sedbergh.
