Approached from north after visiting Wyck Beacon. Pulled up at bend in the road where there was a car already parked. Expected to have to look in the bushes, about to go into the field when pillar spotted next to the car already parked there. Pillar would otherwise have been visible on the approach. Cap missing. View of road, unexciting, and field to south east.

Here's some new info on this one:it's Gloucestershire's easternmost trig pillar and was the 2nd of a little project of mine to bag the highest and N, S, E, & Wmost pillars in each county, hence the high mark. I would have liked to bag Filkins (Oxon W) nearby, but with a bored teenager in a motorhome you've got to be selective.

Just 161.11m from an OS bolt - why so close, one wonders. Pillar is located at convenient roadside pull-in, not surprising cap is missing, composite plug has all but gone and centre hole used as a wate-bin! Cleared crisp packets, tissues etc from it - nice!. Rear sight hole open. Good views N & NE only.

This is as easy as Carn Gloose in Cornwall. Potentially you don't have to get out of the car. However purism kicked in and a proper bagging took place. Decent views too in sunny weather. On way down to a short stay at RAF Brize Norton. Run through Burford is a shock - so many people!

Spotted this one as I drove home from a weekend in the West Country. Just had to stop and ‘bag it’. It was a bit grubby but in reasonable condition. The centre plug has been removed and the filler used the block the hole has been broken through. The views not spectacular, just rolling farmland but they're pleasant enough.
