Parked in Tithe Barn Gardens and had a short walk up the PROW to the copse on the left, where the trig is easily spotted. A few nettles, but none that I couldn't stamp on. Pillar in good condition, and there are some reasonable views from up here. A nice, easy bag.

Took the public right of way (PRoW) from a cul-de-sac that runs off Milton Road. The PRoW takes you up to the summit of Askew Hill, where the pillar can be found in a copse of trees. Managed to grab a couple of conkers which were lying around on the PRoW, still in their shells, on the way up to the pillar!

Second re-visit of the year. Cycled out to friend's house in Newton Solney and meet with two others (all single person households) including "What's the Point". Our first meeting since pubs closed down at the beginning of November. Changed cycle shoes for walking boots and added extra layer of clothing. Visited on leisurely 6 mile walk on footpaths and road. En route sought out the little known St Anne's Well. Jim brought out a hip flask of whisky and plastic tots for a toast and I had some cake to share. A frosty and sunny day.

A revisit – a Christmas day walk with THE CYCLIST and a couple of mates wondering what to do on the festive day in tier 3 lockdown. Couldn’t have been a better winter’s day for walking, bright sunshine and just cold enough to freeze the muddy footpaths. Had my traditional Cornish pasty lunch with a tot of whisky provided by Jim and Christmas cake by Wilf.

(1945) Parking on Burdett Way for the footpath - a planning notice states that this could be affected by the new builds presently going up. A 5 minute walk brings you to the pillar, which sits just off the PRoW in a small copse. All is good, and a nice little walk all told. Pillar history: Built on the 2nd of September 1938, at a cost of £3 5s 9d. Last maintained by the OS in April of 1978.

re visit. well signed and used footpath from West. Latest housing expansion of Repton crosses path. Pillar in small broad leaf copse just off footpath, but someone has just trampled access. Copse prevents view of surrounds from pillar, but worn route into neighbouring field enables one to look out over Trent and Derwent Valleys and onto the Peak District and the Notts/Derbys border.

Continuation of a 14.5mile circuit from Ticknall. From Pistern Hill, NW along Coal Ln, across the A514 then followed bridleway to Brook St. Where Brook St turns towards Fairview Farm I continued ahead with another bridleway that follows the valley to Red Ln. Took the PROW through Sledge Wood and fields beside a small stream to emerge on Mount Pleasant Rd. Along streets of Repton to pick up the PROW leading up Askew Hill from Burdet Way. Pillar is located among nettles in a small copse just off the PROW . A few weeks later and it would have been a couldn't find it !!

Nearly logged as a 'Couldn't find it'. Out on a walk with my mates, Tracker Dog and Rubber Ball. In searching for the trig, the copse it's in is smothered in nettles and bramble, so while they enjoyed a cuppa I went for a hunt and couldn't find it. Only by having a last look on the way back to the FP to Repton did TG spot it. It's in the W corner of the copse, not readily visible from the FP approach from the W. It's just visible if you step two/three metres N off the path at the W corner and two/three metres in from the copse's edge. Good views from the N of the copse. My legs are still stinging.

Parked in the signposted car park near the roundabout in the village. Repton must have a very posh school as there were loads of blazers wandering around from lesson to lesson giving the village a scholarly air. Nice church too. Walked down High St, Askew Grove to find Burdett Way. The FP is signed and leads to an overgrown field that was dryish today but won't always be. After that the path goes behind houses to lead to the copse containing the trig. Easy to spot today. Good condition, OS cap, metalwork intact. Nice pleasant rural views, a very easy pillar to visit.

Decided to visit a couple of trigs today on my birthday!!took the footpath from Burdett way,the field was terrible with waist high grass,luckily a trampled down path was evident but still got wet through with the morning dew.after this it was a straightforward jaunt to the trig,for a small hill the views were quite extensive to the north,nothing much to the south but a giant field of crops (peas I think).
