Second of two bags on the Ides of March. Heading up the A1 so took a diversion to avoid the delays at Darrington. Two trigs and one Good Beer Guide pub ticked. Parked up by the field gate on Sandy Gate Lane and walked the short distance south along the field edge. Ground was fairly dry, so I guess I got real lucky. Delightful view down onto Pontefract, but other than that, noting to see of note. Excellent beer at The Bradley Arms in North |Featherstone afterwards.

(340) As easy as farmland trespass trigs in the dead of night get... there is a wide lay-by to park at, then a low gate to step over, then there is a wide scrub strip bypassing the crops in the adjacent field, then the trig field fence has collapsed or been removed in several places, so it takes a couple of minutes of easy strolling to reach this one. No crops to damage, no livestock to disturb, no fences to climb. The pillar sits in the vegetation on the boundary and is in good condition with a full set of metalwork, but looks a bit scruffy with battered paint and lichen. I returned the same way and drove the 20+ miles back up the motorway at 30mph because of the unending roadworks.

The objective for today - drive from Alnwick to Coventry and bag one Trig Point in each county we pass through en-route. Planned a route to take in 14 Trigs in 14 different counties. This was #7 of 14 and met two important criteria - given our tight schedule anything more than a few minutes from being a 'roadside' would be a luxury, anything too far from our route of A19-A1-M18-M1-M42 would also be problematic. This met both those conditions, however it's not a really memorable TP - it's not bad, it's just average. Best feature is the neighbouring water tower.

Edge of arable fields. Easy access, and looks like regularly used if you follow the road to the end of the large metal fencing which bafflingly just stops. An unremarkable location.

Pillar history: Built on the 7th of September 1947, at a cost of £5 19s 0d. Last maintained by the OS in August of 1985.

I parked in the pull-in in front of the water tower; there is another pull-in a little further down the road, but this was occupied by a Range Rover this evening. Strolled down the road to find a path into the field adjacent to the green grass field, so I didn't have to clamber over any fences.Walked down field edge and round end of fence to trig. Marquees being erected in this field today, I guess some kind of show is on here soon.

(Apparently it is being caused by dust - no wonder I cant keep my car clean)! Otherwise not a cloud in the sky and 25 degrees today. This one easy access along field paths.
