After logging Pilot Hill headed back west and north. About four hundred metres south of the public footpath. Sheep grazing in the field at the time. Climbed gate to access. Interesting FB number, out of sequence with others nearby. Extra point for that. And extra point for Berkshire county top. Just realised. Good views to south. Logged condition as good as seemed ok. OS map shows this place as Walbury Hill and Inkpen about two kilometres west of here. Headed there next.

Parked at the car park to the NW of the trig point, then it was a short walk along the path in the SE direction. Past 2 flooded patches of the path, we managed to walk around the flooded patches easily. Got to the metal gate, climbed over that, and then headed S to the trig point. Lovely views from around here. Why is this trig point not called Walbury Hill? * * * Revisited 9 August 2014. Trig in good condition, metal cap missing, concrete plug present, some of the concrete render to the trig has come off. There were water troughs next to the trig, with disgusting dark green water in it with algae, and a brick covered reservoir nearby. And a dead bird on the ground next to the water troughs. * * * Revisited with the beautiful Mrs. on 5 December 2017.

Why isn't this site called Walbury Hill rather than have two Inkpens? Within a short distance of this pillar I saw red kites, buzzards, a sparrowhawk savaging a small partridge, wheatears (soon to leave), and a hovering kestrel. The rendering on this trigpoint is gradually disintegrating, especially on its southern side.

Wonderful smell of clover in the air as well. Trig in good condition, except missing cap and some render missing. Easy to access off the adjacent bridleway via an obvious gate.

There's a track marked on the OS 1:25k map from the Wayfarer's Walk to the trig - approx 200m long and over rough pasture but it's not a public ROW. But hey, these things have to be done! Some slight damage to the trig, a chip from one of the corners and evidence of some repair work. County top of Berkshire but not very impressive views.

Short walk from car park up Byway, climb gate and walk gently uphill to trig point on private land. Then walked to Combe Gibbet which has a better view point.

The pillar, assuming it's still there, is 200m from the right of way on the other side of a fence and locked gate.

Easy access over the fence. Hazy views, but a couple of Red Kites made up for that.

Accessed by following the track off the byway straight to the trig. A burnt-out car wheel lay beside the trig when I visited. No sheep.

Got to the a gate across which we need to access to get to the TP. As we were not sure we were alloed to open the gate and go thru, we stayed on the public side. Logged 293m, upto the mac of the TP which would have been at 297.

Another excellent stop on the way to Southampton from the Midlands. A sunny crisp cold day with snow on the ground. Just a shame I did not have time to walk from Pilot to here. Mind you, with all the snow on the roads it may have been quicker to walk.

Obviously a rebuild as we logged it as 11798 and the OS list it as S1510. This is slightly damaged and has been grafittied. This is the county top of Berkshire. GPS plaque. On the way back to the main footpath, we passed a couple who went straight to the trig and studied it as I would so perhaps they're fellow triggers! Plastic plug.

Good views from roundabouts, and a feeling of being 'aloft'Lots of bits of burnt out vehicle spoilt the ambience a bit. It even looks like a fire adjacent to the pillar has caused lamination.

Why do so many pillars seem to have daft names? This should be Walbury Hill. The trig is set back from the escarpment so the views are not great from the trig itself, though this is good walking country with good views around. It gets very busy up on the Downs here and New Years Day was no exception. The summit is a small plateau and field. Views from the track along the edge of the Downs to the north are great. Berkshire's highest point. Weather cold but sunny.

An easy to access trig point and the highest point in Berkshire. When I visited there was a BBC lorry up here, acting as a relay station from the racecourse. There were also amateur radio hams with tall ariels. I am surprised one did not interfere with the other they were so close!

After a lunch in Hungerford and on the way to catch a plane to Lisbon. Highest traditional chalk hill, although there are higher downland hills in Herefordshire - that's Silurian though. A van at the top - radio?
