Usual route up from the carpark at the road junction to the north west. Paths are fairly steep but the pillar is easily found up the top a few metres into the trees. The sergeants stripes were still on the top of the pillar, so I put a stone on it to stop it blowing away in the winter storms. Decent views east at the edge of the felled area. The northern Pennines could be seen in the far distance - Cold Fell near Talkin clearly visible.

As below, parked in car park just on South side of bridge and ascended quite steep path through woodland. Very peaceful. Trig near top in trees, well protected. Good condition, just one corner of concrete missing off the top. Original cap is covered interestingly by a little memorial in the form of army stripes (3 which I think is sergeant). Sadly seems to have passed quire young, the dates suggest on his birthday which, ironically, was Armistice Day. Lovely, if a little concealed, spot although some views if you continue a few yards to the top. My 99th recorded pillar!

Nice walk up through the trees from Hoddom Castle caravan park. Views a bit restricted but felling to the east has opened up some views. Good, well maintained paths.

Day 2 of 14 Annan to Berwick Walk. First of 5 out of 7 bagged pillars on this year's hike. Camped at Hoddom Castle and took an evening stroll up Woodcock Air on a well marked path. Steep but short climb. Pillar easily spotted to left of path in woodland. Slight damage to top of pillar noted. No views from pillar but a nice bench further down the hill and full excitement at what's ahead.

Parked at clearly marked car park near Hoddom Castle. Information board indicates different coloured walks within the estate. Easy but steep short walk. Pillar is sheltered in the woods and maintains last vestiges of white coat of paint. Spider top intact. No views.

Delightful walk up path through woods to 129m summit. Trig, in the trees, just north of the path. Empty Grolsch bottle sitting on the cap.

From unmapped car park at road junction to NW (NY 1636 7258). Hottest evening walk ever, cooking. Only 500m but seemed very steep!

From unmapped car park at road junc to NW (NY 1636 7258). Mapped and waymarked track all the way (muddy). Pillar sits a metre or 2 off the track in conifer woodland. Original centre cap retained, raised lettering; all sight holes open due to degrading plugs. A section of top screed missing exposing one spider arm end. No views.

Enjoyed the steep walk up through the woods, and the views from the bench (catching my breath) set just below the pillar, which is now surrounded by trees and shrubbery. Cap in place with raised lettering, all four sight-holes open, and slight damage to one top corner (see wrose's photo).

Pleasant woodland. The trig was in an area of windthrow, and the weather abysmal. Visited on the way home from a bothy maintainance visit.
