Retrospective log. Have made numerous visits to this iconic trig on access land in Surrey the first of which was in around 1997. Fantastic views and fond memories here. Spider missing and infilled with cement. A popular area for cyclists and walkers alike.

Logged this before proceeding to the Nower. Very steep climb but worth it for the setting and the views albeit the pillar is impaired by a significant crack plus it is leaning somewhat.

Box Hill Tremendous views towards the South Downs.

I'm very concerned about this trig. I live locally and I've visited it quite a few times. A few years ago there was some damage including a small hole. This time the damage is much worse. There's a big chunk missing from one edge and a large crack around three sides. I worry that that the crack will soon extend all the way through and then some oaf will push the top off and roll it down the hill. Looking at previous visits it appears that most of the damage is recent, probably from last winter. The trig stands on National Trust land and there are rangers at the nearby visitor centre. I spoke to one, who is also a member of the Friends of Box Hill and he said that they (the friends) may be prepared to help. He also gave me the email address of the local NT manager and I plan to write to him. The problem, of course, is that the NT has not yet realised that they are now responsible by default for all of the trig points on their land. If you visit this trig and you agree with me, go and chat to the rangers about the state of it. They are very approachable and they are the NT's eyes on the ground.

Parked in car park part way up the Zig Zag Road as Ryker Car Park was still shut. From there, pretty much due south through a woodland path in a valley and over a lot of fallen trees. Emerging at open ground at top. Pillar is directly below the view point. Slightly damaged by crack across south face. Just before day break so grainy pictures. Good views to south. Raised prefix S. First of eight today. Two more on foot from here.

Pillar below a viewing platform which offers a rather spectacular view of the valley. Popular tourist attraction. Crack at base of pillar to the left of the FB is certainly big enough to qualify as Slightly Damaged. Trig-shaped donation box nearby.

Enjoyed a slow muddy walk from Box Hill Village along the NDW to the viewpoint. Top class hill for rolling down when it's dry which after we had lunch ceased to be the case. Went downhill and Extra Shorty managed to half fall off the stepping stones into the River Mole which was running fast and rising over the stones while we were there. Luckily he didn't go in fully and avoided me having to go into rescue mode, but had to walk back with soaking trousers.

Pillar sighted below a toposcope (of sorts). Has a fair chunk of concrete missing from one vertical corner and a substantial horizontal crack below the FB extending round to the sides. Suggest this is more than just 'Slightly Damaged'. BSM-style FB; cap missing, asphalt plug; RHS sight hole open, LHD plug degrading. Nice views.

Fine views this evening and I walked up from the station which was a little more challenging! Not many people about so iit was nice and peaceful. Visited for the YOSM geocache and also did a few more caches while I was there.

Bagged as I passed on the warm up cycle lap ready for the Box Hill climb. Excellent views to the south over The Weald. Tempting to go for the County High Point but not enough time available. Score point deducted for the crowds.

Bagged this while dropping relatives of to dinner at Denbies. There was a romantic couple sitting on the view point that kindly took our picture when asked. Dont suppose they were expecting a couple of Trig nuts to turn up in front of them, lol. Both thought we were mad as hatters for standing ontop of this thing, and even madder for going to Snowdon last week, but who cares, we love it! Pillar is damaged as previous logs say, was painted white. Nice view even at night looking over Surrey.

There is some damage to this T/Point which looks as if it is due to the popularity of the area with 'modern youngsters'. The views of Dorking and the surrounding areas is fantastic. Used to bring Army Cadets to this point, some years ago, to do some of their Map & Compass work.

So many people - so didn't go through usual averaging of GPS position. A repeat visit having been here several times in my childhood. Incident of note during this visit: three wheeled pushchair lost its front wheel, which hurtled down the steep slope; an alert 8 y.o. some yards below heard the yells and managed to get in line and catch the wheel !!

Been here several times over the years but this is the one to log as we did it the hard way, part of an 11 mile walk from Dorking to Merstham as the next section of our NDW jaunt (I think this is the first trig on the NDW walking W-E from Farnham to Dover). A very long walk up from the bottom, but a beautiful clear, sunny and surprisingly warm day with great views south.

I made a real fist of this one , turning up witout the correct O/S and a memory from the site of a fella's tombstone marking the point where he was buried face down. I did the obvious and walked off in the direction of the large visitor centre and found an old disused fort and said tombetone but after much running around alas no Trig and no O/S to check it with. I went back to the car and drove a bit further along the road and then saw the viewpoint and success was mine there was the repainted Trig with a little bit of new graffiti and some spectacular views over Dorking. Some dodgepot Herbert must have gone equipped with a rather large sledge hammer to knock such a large chunk out of the Trig , a real shame. From a distance it looks like it's been the victim of a Shark attack and judging by other loggers photo's it must have happened in the last year or so. I wish I hadn't been so pushed for time it would have been a nice place to return with a decent set of binoculars. The Ordnance Survey website details a computing year of 1945 and the height is 171.968 metres (564.20 feet).
