Last stop of a 15.5 mile walk. I visited 12 summits before finally climbing Harter Fell (Eskdale) (653m). The cloud was low all day so I'd opted for lower fells which worked well as these were all out of the cloud. I'd seen this come out of the clouds but it was back in by the time I arrived. I'll have to come back.

Staying in the Duddon Valley with several friends on an action packed orienteering weekend. This pillar was a control and I have actually been up here several times. Went for my first "swoosh" afterwards at Birks Bridge. I wonder if it is an age thing, but for the past few years I have gravitated towards movies which contain "strong language, drug abuse,  strong bloody violence. sex scenes". I gift this very fine stone pillar to those films that get the pulse racing.

Last walked up here in Sep 2002. Today's walk wasn't as good. Set off from Jubilee Bridge again but followed a path that wound round anti-clockwise without seeming to gain much height. Eventually arrived at the lovely pillar and then made a point of scrambling up the adjacent rocks to the true summit.So far so good but then made a big mistake of trying to find a direct route northwards back to the car. It turned out to be very steep, wet, tussocky ground full of ankle breaking shaped holes. The one redeeming plus was an aerial view of the Hard Knott Roman Camp highlighted in a patch of sunshine

Parked at Jubilee bridge. 4 mile walk overall. Couldn't see any of the surroinding fells due to low cloud and hea y rain. Got absolutely drenched. Slipped on the walk down, rolling my ankle and landing on a rock injuring my back and ripping my water proof trousers. To top it off I scratched and dented my car going over hard knotts pass. If it wasn't for bagging the trig I'd say this was a wasted day and one to forget.

Revisit. Overall approach from NNW. Free car park to south side of Hardknott Pass at NY213011. A stone footbridge leads across the gill onto the mapped RoW. Best route is to follow RoW to NY206001 then take the (mapped in black) footpath directly to summit. Stone built pillar in good condition. Spider centre filled with mortar. Flush bracket faces 74°, ENE. Vented through NW sight hole. Near full panoramic view, obstructed only by true summit rocks which overtop the pillar height by 4 metres. The 360° panorama can be observed from the true summit.

First Wainwright of the holiday, drove up from Wilts in the morning - Harter Fell and a couple of Birketts this afternoon. Raining when we started the walk, raining when we finished. Cloud down on the hill, no views - a warm Lake District welcome! Trig not on summit, but on adjacent rocky peak, nice wet scramble for the true summit - which my other let me do on my own. Pillar of stone construction; cap missing, replacement cement plug; 1 sight hole open.

Bagged on a walk from Coniston via Caw and back. Nice summit and views, the low score of 5 is purely because I was totally exhausted after a long and difficult climb in humid, hot conditions via Caw and Green Crag, and also because the view from the trig is obscured by it not being the highest point.

Great walk up from Boot and even better views of the Scafell, Bowfell, Crinkle Crag ranges. Nice stone built pillar.

Weather was awful but we weren't going to be put off. Travelling up/down the Hardknott Pass was an adventure, it had only just reopened. You must visit the Hardknott Fort if you do this trig, its a magical place.

My Missus Taking shelter from the wind and rain. You can just see the trig in the background.

Third visit, first on 26.2.82. Extremely hot day. Walked up from Jubilee Bridge at bottom of Hardknott. Swarms of guys on top crowding round trig. Took a group photo for them. Trig doesn't actually stand on summit however ! To Scafell3210 - yes !

Plug is now misssing. Is the view of the head of Eskdale the best in England ? Nice scramble for the kids from the trig to the top

Visited to record FB number. The pillar was built in September 1949 costing £19.11s.1d. In 1952 this marker was computed as secondary station NY11/11 in the Workington block. The flush bracket was levelled for height in 1952 too. Stone built column. Spider retained a stamped font OS plug (29/06/1991).
