From Keswick, busy with visitors, walked up a steep lane via Underscar then onto the fell. Wasn't confident that I'd found the spot described by CJO - no remaining marker or signs of digging. Excavated anyway - further doubts on finding what seemed to be bedrock when concrete was expected. Persisted and XL bolt finally located. Not much loose rock available but left a micro-cairn for the next visitor. Subsequently realised that the sketch for this trig is available at https://trigpointing.uk/wiki/File:Cumbria-TP16488-Latrigg-BuriedBlock.jpg (thanks Jon) - this mentions a witness mark rivet which, if it still exists, should help in finding the block. Landscape of numerous hills that I'll probably never climb.

A short walk up from the parking area which was covered in ice, a super cloud inversion was going in the valleys below. Had to dig down about 18 inches in very messy wet sticky soil, A large 3 inch conical brass bolt on the block, a walker passing by was interested in the survey bolt find. Super find CJO and bagging assistant.

Revisit with Bagging Assistant. 3 inch conical bolt found at bottom of slight surface depression, located 5m from summit of adjacent outcrop to west and 7.9m south of centre of path. Bolt set in concrete. The Keswick classic summit evening walk and everyone ignored us.

Didn't expect to see the block, but a higher score for one of the best views in the Lakes obtained with not a lot of effort.

Hoping it might be exposed by the erosion caused by a plethora of visitors but no luck. Had a very half hearted poke around but really need my big screwdriver and trowel.

No sign of block, well worth the short hike for the stunning views though.

No sign on surface. Having spent 6 hours exploring the various tops of Skiddaw, the drag up her from Gale Road carpark was murder. Not really a place for digging either.
