After visiting Rombalds Moor I legged it to this very lonely pillar through some very boggy areas. Not easy to find until a dog walker pointed lout that it lay beyond a stone wall which kept it very well hidden. The sunshine had gone and it was very murky making the place rather spooky.

Overgate Croft Farm. Very wet out there!

Bagged along with Rombald's Moor pillar on a 6-mile tour of Ilkley Moor. Lots of standing water after the recent rain, so plenty of bog-hopping to do to get to these. Overgate Croft Farm sits on an easy and obvious footpath; we just followed the wall from Rombald's Moor plantation (which differs from the current OS mapping; it's been partially felled and partially replanted). Pillar well cared for with fresh white paint and in excellent condition despite missing its cap - I wouldn't have realised it has been repaired if not for previous logged comments. Then onwards to Rombald's...

After years of loving this moor and Ilkley too amazed I've never come out this far - it really is such a beguiling large space. Leeds UA top (via a revisit to the Marilyn top trig) and then many hours later through the beautiful Hebers Ghyll.

Part of the top of the pillar has come away. Bagged this while walking the Dales Highway. Scrambled up though the heather to get to it but then realised that there is a small path leading to it from the "Noon" stone at the opposite end of the field. Came back down this way! Much easier!

Latest of many re-visits, this time I came across from Long Ridge End along a fairly muddy path (despite the recent dry weather) and returned along Crawshaw Moss, the Buck Stones to Whetstone Gate (and ultimately Ilkley). The main thing of note is the real deterioration of the path from Crawshaw Moss to Whetstone Gate. The route across NW Crawshaw Moss was flagged a few years ago but the rest of the route to/from the Buck Stones has been trashed by mountain bikers - it's a morass of mush and god help it when the wet season comes!! A remarkable achievement by the parasites of the 'outdoor community'! The route following the wall from the Buck Stones to Whetstones Gate is reasonably traversable but requires detouring from the wall (north side) in many places due to severe erosion. Other than the usual wonderful view from the trig point it was all a bit depressing really. A pox on all mountain bikers on footpaths!

Walked along from Rombalds Moor and back to Cow & Calf via Swastika Stone, Spicey Gill & Rocky Valley. Hot, sunny Sunday afternoon at end of Half Term week so half of West Yorkshire was on the Moor. This does seem a strange name for the pillar, Overgate Croft Farm isn't even the nearest farm. The area topped by the pillar is usually known as Addingham Moorside or Addingham High Moor and, on my 1961 One Inch OS map, the name Long Ridge End is prominent next to the trig.

HISTORY: Pillar completed 23rd May 1948 costing £15.3s.8d. Computed as tertiary triangulation station SD96/T6 in 1951. Levelled for height in 1962. Last maintained by the OS in July 1986. SITE VISIT: Overall approach from ENE. Parked on south side of Heber's Ghyll Drive at SE100472. Up through glen to open moor, turning west waymarked path until SE082471, and south up moor to summit. Heather clad top. Pillar in good conidition but for slight damage to top exposing one end of spider. Spider retains original OS centre cap with shallow engraved letters. Flush bracket faces SSW, ~207°. All four horizontal sighting holes open, innards blocked with debris. Full 360° open ootlook with some long views. A big moor like this deserves a better trig name.

Easy trek up from Wells Road car park in Ilkley, made twice as arduous by the gale-force winds blowing in from the west on what was an otherwise fine day, with great views of Wharfedale. Had to shelter from the wind behind a 'leaky' dry-stone wall and surprised that I was able to hold the camera still enough for sharp photographs. Part of a circular walk taking in Rivock Edge and Rombalds Moor trigs.

Lovely walk up from the road. Followed walls then a wee path to the trig.

Got to get a high score today. Walked up from Silsden, thigh deep snow in places, no tracks in the snow for much of the walk, only saw two others during the 3 hours I was out. Fantastic views, bright but (very!) chilly, a great short walk.

Walked from Burley in Wharfedale via Rombalds Moor Trig. Beautifully sunny but bitterly cold. Snow and frost made walking easier.

Easily accessible and visible. I also approached this one from Whetstone Gate along path (feint at times) keeping to northern side of wall. Just one wall crossing needed on nearing pillar. Extremely wet for time of year with evidence of oil in some of the boggy bits. Pillar in good condition apart from the missing plug leaving the centre open to the elements. Glorious views across the purple heathered moorland. [Passing here today (31.10.12) so took the opportunity to take some pictures. The route that I originally took and walked today has now been paved over the wettest section AND there is a plug in place!!]

Walked up from Ilkley and back via Rombalds Trig. Lovely sunny day - nice place to stop and listen to the Radio 4 News at 1pm. Slight damage to the top of the trig.

A fresh and windy morning. Linking the trig to local caches. The plug is missing but the screws have been left.

Just a short detour up a steep and heathery slope from the path running from Addingham High Moor to Ilkley brings you to this trig point. Excellent all-round views on a day such as this. Pendle in the west, Buckden Pike in the north, Beamsley Beacon to the east and The Cow & Calf rocks above Ilkley to the south-east. But what an absolutely stupid name for this trig point! Who on earth gave it this name? Over Gate Croft Farm is over a mile away to the north, half way down the hill into Addingham. Why not be totally stupid and name it 'Addingham Village Hall' trig point?! 'Addingham High Moor' is a far more appropriate and sensible name for it.

One of my favourite local trigs (lots of visits both before and after this log). Its Addingham High Moor really - John, Over Gate Croft (and presumably the farm) is about a mile directly north of the trig. On a good day theres a grand view up the lower Wharfedale valley towards Bolton Abbey and over much of the surrounding area. To the NW there is a stile at the field corner and faint paths following either wall at left or right takes you to the main ROW. No cars, on foot.

Hiked over from Rombalds Moor (Ilkley Moor) to get to this one using the footpath initially to the south and then the north of the stone wall. I had just the one boggy bit to contend with.

High on western edge of Ilkley Moor, if you visit this trig then make sure you also visit the Swastika Stone and the Doubler Stones.
