My family is from the area so I have been up Winter Hill before, but never actually been to the pillar, so I didn't feel I was cheating too much by taking the easiest route up which is from the service road off George's Lane. There is one section where you can cut the corner and get some softer terrain under foot, but other than that it's tarmac all the way. The better route is from Rivington Pike, or the Belmont Road. Anyhow, views from the top are excellent and the telecommunications masts and local history connections of Scotsman's Stump and the 1958 plane crash add interest to the walk.

Easy access to Trig, using the tarmac road to the masts. Looks freshly whitewashed. On the way up, we noticed what appeared to be a trig-shaped object about 150 yds from the rhs of the road. On our way back, we had a closer look. Not sure what it is. See photo.

KJF Winter Hill summit is a bit of a mess with the whitewashed and well kept trig defended by boggy ground except after dry spells. The plethora of masts over a peaty moorland has its history (UKs 11th worst air disaster; an unsolved murder and long gone industry) though the signs warning of the dangers of ice falling from the main mast are sobering. Such a contrast to Lever Park and the pleasant paths that rise to Rivington Pike and 2 Lads from where the views are better in the Merseyside direction. At least the road guarantees a dry walk to the trig but a place to visit in passing and not to linger.

Good parking spot in Layby at Hordern Stoops. Headed South up the well defined path and a fair bit boggy today after the snow melt, found myself walking on top of I guess the one time boundary wall that now seems to be the path on wet days ! Muddy ascent up final pitch to the summit to be greeted by not one mast but an abundance of masts. not enough fingers to count them all. Threading my way past metalwork eventually found the trig - bit wet and boggy from recent lying snow. Pillar with weathered white coat of paint and adorned with Red Rose. third of the day with RROL. Plug removed and filled otherwise all metal on pillar intact. Views to N & NE uninterrupted by the array of masts. I imagine this to have been a great view point pre mast era.. best view from top of TV Arial now.

I had thought of using the access road to the comms installation. However, in cycling from Belmont toward Rivington I spotted the permissive path from the summit parking area and decided to walk this. Rather wet in places, filling shoes more than once, and a brutally steep last climb to the top. Despite the warm sunny day, the views disappeared into a grey haze. Fifth pillar of the day and reaching a grand total of 2650.

Lovely whitewashed pillar sporting the red rose of Lancashire, cap filled and a smidge off being properly upright with only the western sight open. Cool we saunter up the access road with lots of boggy mud around the pillar itself.

After a flying visit to Chorley with my non-caching brother, being so close to Winter Hill, and the impressive feature that I have wanted to visit for a long time, I just had to go. Unfortunately today, the visibility wasn't good, as we progressed up the hill, it lessened, by the time we reached summit it was reduced to a mere 20/30 meters. Having made our way up from the lay-by on Rivington road, and being this time of the year, it was quite tough going, we arrived at the summit where there was a lovely clean tarmacadam road. Then after a little chat to two men, who were sheltering from the wind, we continued to the pillar.

Asphalt plug. Public. Access Land. The lofty summit of Winter Hill is quite a spectacular location, an obvious site for a trig pillar [plus numerous masts]. Good path up from SE, but there are many other ways up, including the access road to the masts. The summit itself is on the boggy side.

Winter Hill. GPS plaque; Tarmac plug; recently painted, vgc. Top of the 'no S-prefix' series. Extensive views with (I think) Stoodley Pike in the far distance looking east. A short way S from the main mast is a tapered concrete pillar somewhat shorter than a trig but otherwise similar dimensions; metal plate on two sides (no lettering) - perhaps marking an old shaft.

Parked by Horden Stoops Surface Block trig and walked up following the wall to the base of Winter Hill, then took to path to top. Excellent views. One of the oldies in the trig family.

The first July 1999 OS "tag" that I have come across. Surprising in view of the 8 masts that clutter up this particular hill.

No details noted - v boggy approach from N then steep climb to summit - fine but for forest of masts, massive view

Staggered up Winter Hill after a run at Watergrove. Pouring down, but the mist almost hid the masts. Direct descent to the Blue Lagoon was tussock hell, rather fun.

Winter Hill must have more masts than virtually antwhere in the country, although Alport Low in Derbyshire would come a close second.
