Just got there as the light was almost gone. Superb position set atop a rocky outcrop and with fantastic coastal views. Probably the best I've visited. As I ran down the path back to the car park I passed someone walking up who exchanged a word about looking for a trig point. Popular!

After waiting half an hour in the nearby car park for the heavy rain and most of the low cloud to clear we took the very easy path up to the summit tor and trig, unbelievably when at the top the cloud cleared revealing Strumble Head and the coastline west. Later that day stumbled across the bolt on Carn Llidi then went on to bag Haverfordwest and Carmarthen FBMs on the way home.

Pillar sits on a large concrete plinth at summit of this HuMP; cap missing, no plug; RHD side and rear sight holes open. Excellent 360deg panoramic views, especially to nearby rocky promontories. Nearby remains of WWI lookout post.
