I decided to 'treat' myself to one trigpoint in a field on my way home after arriving back from Arran. I parked near the gate, of course the field crop was almost ready to harvest so a careful walk around the edge in the undergrowth to the trigpoint. The field behind had been harvested, a pity they weren't the other way around.

Parked on the road near the houses and walked up through the gate at the mast. Crop growing in field so walked round the edge through very wet long grass.

The first pillar to get recapped. This revisit resulted in a PLA cap being fitted (and it actually fitted!).

Generally good condition pillar buried in a hawthorn hedgerow. Top surface damaged with spider a bit exposed. Cap missing and no plug. FB faces east-ish with all sightholes open. Reasonable, but limited, views.

Stuck in the flowering hedgerow, the cap is missing but the spider is certainly still in place and an overall good condition. FB on East side with three sights open (couldn't check the West sight).
