(54) Drove up to Acre House to ask for permission to visit this pillar, which the land owner readily gave. He also pointed out the various routes I could take to get to the pillar, and I opted for the quickest and easiest. A very pleasant chap, who is happy to accommodate those who have an interest in this hobby, and we must have chatted for a good hour all told. The pillar itself is a distinctive looking one, with its off centre spider and non original plug. And the 'alien golf ball' behind it adds to the charm. Being the county top for Lincolnshire the views are pretty darn good. I picked the perfect evening for it really.

Was activating the area for the amateur radio "summits on the air" http://www.sota.org.uk/ from the bridleway to the North. The landowner drove past on the farm track and after a friendly chat was more than happy for me to visit the trig point and directed me to a gap in the hedge so I could access the field. Just asks that anyone who wants to visit lets them know at the farmhouse and takes litter home as currently having issues. Great views from the top under the gaze of the nearby radar tower.

I was doing the nearby Earthcache, and decided to walk up to the Trig which is also the county top. Fantastic views of the whole county from the gate near the road, which is a handy parking space if you want to quickly nip up to the trig, thoroughly loved this location. You can see the Humber Bridge, the line of the River Trent with it's power stations along it, Lincoln Cathedral and Boston Stump to name just a few of the main landmarks to look for! I am not normally one for trespassing where there isn't a footpath, however there was no-one around at all, and I did no damage to crops.

Easy to find, though bit of a trek along the hedge line from the left hand gate on LHS of hedge to the left of the Radar Station and the service yard. Turn L at top of the field and duck under the hedge. Alternatively there is a gap in the hedge to the R of the T-Junction. Go through this gap and turn L to attain the Pillar. Spider is not centrally placed on the top. Views only to the N, NW & NE. Nice to bag the County top as well.

Obtained kind permission from the nearby farm (friendly but not surprisingly niggled when people just traipse around the sugar beet fields without asking) as we were passing nearby and added a bonus county summit and trig to our journey. Soaking wet trouser legs from following along the overgrown grassy field edges and bitterly cold today but the rain only started again on the way back to the car so it could have been worse. The views are extensive and it is probably lovely up here on a fine day. Alien golf ball lurks behind surveying the scene.

Joint visit with Carole. We followed the advice to ask before visiting and it was readily given - but it was also made clear that they don't look kindly on people wandering willy, nilly over their land. (The house to ask at is the most southerly of the group of buildings.) Any wanderings can be easily be seen. We used the footpath eastwards then just popped over a gate to head upwards and south keeping the hedge on our right to the pillar which is in the field corner. Pillar is in good condition has an alsphalt plug and plaque. Returned the onth route we had used to get back to the car which we had left near the mast.

Also being wary of being accosted by angry farmers we went to Acre farm and spoke to the farmer there who gave his permission, he was not very kind about people who just walk up to the trig without permission, he said a spot of common courtesy doesn't go amiss, we too were told about the easy access from the gate and he even suggested a nice little walk on such a pleasant sunny evening. Excellent views from up here with just a hint of haze, you could see Lincoln Cathedral and the Humber Bridge.

This was my first visit to my home county top despite having lived in Lincolnshire for over 30 years. This was a very pleasant spring evening but the low sun spoiled the view somewhat.

Having read Stonestreakers comments I took the alternative approach of asking permission at the farm which in this case paid off. Although the fields were planted with cabbages I was allowed to go up to the trig point which is and the highest point in Lincolnshire. I saw three magnificent hares on the way up. A strange off centred plug on the top has been replaced with cement. The views from the top help dispel the theory that Lincolnshire is totally flat. The Humber Bridge is just about visible to the North. For those of you with a pair of binocs the trig point should be visible from the road outside the farm by following the second hedgeline parallel to its highest point where it meets the a hedge perpendicular to the road.
