By Keith for HCU3A. Easy enough, despite summer growth, with previous logs to go on.

A beauty... found by my assistant in these travels despite forgetting the map screenshot (none of your fancy mobile signals round here). Height indicator all in place... 352.83 ft. Farm tractors rushing up and down the A road, Autumn leaves damply falling. Bit shocked to see my last FBM was Dunnet Head in 2020! Anyway 20th FBM and 20th Shropshire trig .. hopefully grab a fair few more before week is over.

Granite FBM pillar. Beside road with a bit of space on the neighbouring driveway to quickly park. Nearby tree has been felled, so it's a bit less buried in vegetation than previous photos show. Height tag present reading "352.83ft"

The dandiest FBM to date. All intact with height tag in situ and sitting proud. Approaching from the east you can park off the road at the sharp left hand bend sign. The FBM is very obvious and a tad west and on grass verge away from the road. I gift this to the village square in Llanfyllin which was buzzing with activity this morning. Wonderful atmosphere and breakfast.

Found this one quite easily. As fasgadh says, it's in a rather dangerous spot so if you have any trig-kiddies, don't let them loose here! Confirm that plate on top says 352.83 feet. You can park in the sideroad opposite the sharp bend.

A mini-pillar on the roadside, soutern side, near a dangerous bend. Be careful here. The benchmark has a height 352.83 feet I could not find the nearer (and safer) Berntsen.
