Parked in new housing estate then crossed road, Trig well hidden in roadside hedgerow, does still retain all its metal work, winter probably the best time to visit

Not particularly interesting by the side of the road after the path runs out and in a hedge (so winter visit makes it easier to spot). Very easy to access.

I drive past this almost everyday and have never noticed it. Tucked in the hedgerow between Brunton roundabout and the road to Kingston Park stadium. Ideal time of year to access it as the hedge isn’t too full.

The farms of Brunton have certainly sold their souls to the devil. Masses of houses going up, 4 and 5 bedroomed? I say no more. Double yellow lines all along this road, but I parked almost opposite in an access road to the development. It was good to see there was a recess in the fence to accommodate the pillar. Another in a hedge. Aeroplanes are like hens teeth at the moment, so the two I saw take off today can have these two pillars.

Located on Brunton Lane. Well protected in hedgerow. Spider and all its bits still there. Took advice from a previous bagger and parked in the housing estate on Huntingdon Close.Spotted a hedgehog at base of pillar. Hope it doesn't opt to cross the road. More housing development going on on opposite side of road to this trig. My 2nd of 3 town trigs.

A couple of marks for still existing but probably the least inspiring extant pillar Ive ever done. Safe parking in the housing estate a couple of hundred yards to the south, the, pillar is well hidden in the hedge. The easiest way to find it is its more or less opposite the lighting pole.

Pillar sits on E side of road, well ensconced within a hedgerow, close to rear garden fencing for #58 Huntingdon Close - it is accessible with a little effort. An original centre cap is retained; sight holes not checked. I declined to cut back any of the hedge.

I must have driven past this TP at least once a month for several years without spotting it, but it's an easy find on foot, about 20 yards along north from the end of the tarmac footpath. Given it 2 points just for still being there, one of very few remaining TPs in Tyne & Wear. It is undoubtedly the least interesting TP I've visited yet...

Once again I learned the value of visiting this site before trying to find the pillar. Went on 20th and could not find, checked the site , went today and walked straight to it. Nice to find it still there, but nothing special other than it continued existence.
