Usually only go for trig pillars but was close enough to take a look at a first active station. Parked alongside, all in a fenced area.

Logged by Keith for HC U3A Walkers. By side of lane. The dome is clear - I presume it is transmitting a beacon signal?

Fascinating journey out of the edges of Burslem and Hanley, through the Queen of the Moorlands and then - very excited to find my first Staffs active station. Absolute peach of a place - Gun and the Roach somber one side the brows of the moors above Longnor and Elkstone opposite. Been away from the southern edges of the Peak for too long, next stop a trig pillar!

1/3 today on a pedal from Buxton to the remote Staffs Moorlands. This is my first active station and is literally by the side of the lane in a fenced compound with weather instruments. Today is VE day and the three trigs are dedicated to every person whose lost a life in any battle/war.

My second active station of the day – but unlike Buxton you can get right below this one. Parking in the adjacent gateway.

Staffordshire. It was a rather grey and damp afternoon but there were still views over to The Roaches.

I did not see the point in climbing the wall to get closer as the fence would have still prevented a good reading. Living in Leek I have passed here in the past so today thought I would bag this one.

This is an active station as described on gps.ordnancesurvey.co.uk/active.asp The station is located on the SW side of a minor road between Thorncliffe and Blackshaw Moor. Its in a secure fenced enclosure next to Thorncliffe reservoir and is easily visible from the road. One unusual feature is that, instead of being located on the roof of a building, the device is on the top of a tall metal tripod.
